Giddiness

This document presents information on giddiness/dizziness, including definitions, types, causes, investigations, and management. It discusses the difference between true vertigo and non-vertiginous giddiness. Common causes of giddiness include cardiac, orthostatic, metabolic, and hematological conditions. Initial workup of a patient with significant giddiness should include vital sign checks, glucose testing, ECG, and lab tests. Unsteady patients require monitoring and treatment in an intermediate care area.
