Abstract
Dizziness is a common chief complaint and there is a broad variety of possible underlying diseases for dizziness. Physicians must distinguish the majority of patients with self-limiting conditions from those with serious illnesses that require acute treatment. Diagnosis can be a challenge sometimes due to lack of dedicated vestibular lab and injudicious use of vestibular suppressant medications. In total of 100 cases were taken into study in which the most common was found to be benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and the most serious was cerebellar infarct and space occupying lesion. Complete evaluation of the patient should be done to arrive at a diagnosis. Therefore, a modification in the assessment methods of the dizzy patients with emphasis on history and clinical presentation seems essential.
