Dr. Anand Bery joins us today to talk about how to approach dizziness without making your head spin!
We share a step-by-step way to approach dizziness without getting lost in vague symptoms, moving from red flags to timing, triggers, and targeted bedside exams. When should use the HINTS exam, Dix-Hallpike, and practical tips help to help you identify strokes vs causes of peripheral causes of vertigo, and improve care.

We have some further resources recommended by Dr. Bery to further your dizziness knowledge!
