Questions for your doctor regarding dizziness

Preparing questions in advance can help patients have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about dizziness:

  1. At what point does my dizziness require medical attention?

  2. Is my dizziness a sign of diabetes, hypoglycemia or some other condition?

  3. What are other causes of dizziness that could be related to my complaints?

  4. What diagnostic tests might I need to undergo, and what do they involve?

  5. What do my test results show?

  6. What are my treatment options?

  7. Should I avoid driving or other activities?

  8. How soon do you expect my dizziness to resolve?

  9. What choices are there if my dizziness becomes chronic?

  10. Can techniques such as the modified Epley procedure control my vertigo? If so, how do I perform this?

  11. Can I do anything to prevent dizziness?
