Dizziness and balance problems
A guide for patients and carers
Introduction
Written by Adolfo M Bronstein MD, PhD, Hon. Consultant Neurologist, National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, London and Consultant Clinical Scientist, MRC Human Movement and Balance Unit.
This booklet is intended to provide some general information on dizziness and balance problems. It has been written to answer some of the questions often asked by people who are experiencing these problems, as well as their families and carers.
The medical information in this booklet is evidence-based and draws on current best practice guidelines. However, because dizziness affects each person differently and because it can have so many different causes, it is important that you speak to your own GP or to the doctor or hysiotherapist who is looking after you, since they are in a position to offer advice and information to meet your own specific needs.
Words that are printed in bold are explained in the Glossary
