Spend some time observing what you feel before coming to the doctor for the problem of "dizziness". Knowing whether you have true vertigo or some other sensation can significantly change the course of your workup, the treatment, and the outcome. Your doctor can guide you, but only you can tell us what you are feeling.
"It's just vertigo" is not an acceptable diagnosis! Ask your physician why the vertigo is occurring. There are several causes of this symptom and while we may sometimes find it difficult to reach a conclusion, you should at least leave the visit with some possibilities in mind.
