Dizziness: Diagnosis
We use our eyes, feet, and inner ear to maintain balance. If one of the three systems isn't working, dizziness and imbalance is likely to occur. Therefore, it is necessary to first determine which system is not working properly before developing a course of treatment.

You may be evaluated by both an ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist and a neurologist. Based on your medical history and examination findings, your physicians may require further tests to complete a full evaluation.

Diagnostic tests that may be performed include:

• Complete blood count
• Metabolic profile with electrolytes
• Blood pressure measurements and tests
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Hearing tests
• Balance tests (ENG)
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
