Dizziness, which is a sense of unsteadiness or unstable movement, is a common symptom most people have experienced. To a great extent, dizziness falls into three large categories:
Vertigo, which is associated with a sense of spinning or movement
Imbalance or unsteadiness
Faintness
Depending on the severity of the symptoms, it can be both frightening and, at times, incapacitating. Approximately 15 percent of people experience dizziness each year. It's difficult to determine the exact rate, as many people don't seek medical care for their dizziness.
