NEUROLOGY · CONSULTATION GUIDE
Dizziness & balance
Prepare for a conversation with Dr Anup Bende at Shriji Polyclinic.
Symptoms to discuss
Episodes can be brief or prolonged. Some are triggered by head movement; others occur with nausea, hearing symptoms or imbalance.
How assessment works
Assessment considers triggers, duration, examination and sometimes positional tests. Additional investigations are selected according to findings.
Treatment approaches
Management depends on the cause. Some positional disorders respond to repositioning manoeuvres performed after assessment; other conditions need a different approach.
Prepare for your review
Bring previous prescriptions, investigation reports and your current medication list. Write down when symptoms began and how they affect your daily life. Ask which changes to monitor and when to return for review.
When to seek prompt help
New speech difficulty, limb weakness, double vision or severe inability to walk with dizziness requires emergency assessment.
