Dizziness is a very common symptom. An emergency assessment should be carried out if the dizziness has started acutely. Acute onset of an accompanying unsteadiness of stance or gait, visual disturbances, headaches or signs of paralysis, temporary unconsciousness and observed confusion also require rapid clarification. Dizziness that has occurred after an accident should also be assessed by a doctor without delay.
