Dizziness - Lightheadedness - Faintness

Dizziness is an uncomfortable inner feeling of confusion. The word is used to describe so many different sensations, your health care professional needs to understand exactly what a person means when he or she complains of dizziness.

Your first task then, is to give your doctor a complete personal description of your symptoms. Many people with dizziness have an anxiety disorder. This may seem ridiculous, but a number of studies have shown this to be true. When a small headache accompanies dizziness this is nearly always anxiety.
