  Patients on the dizziness should learn more about the history and comprehensive physical examination, if necessary to do hearing tests, vestibular function test, fundus examination, and make the appropriate selection of cerebrospinal fluid examination, skull or cervical spine X shot of photography, ECG, EEG Figure and brain CT scan to find out the cause.

10 major warning signals of cancer
