General information, not a diagnosis or personal treatment plan. For urgent symptoms, seek emergency medical care rather than using an appointment form.
Vertigo with new weakness, difficulty speaking or significant vision changes needs emergency assessment.
Understanding this concern
Vertigo is a feeling that you or your surroundings are spinning. It can affect balance and has several possible causes.
Symptoms to discuss
- A spinning sensation
- Balance difficulties associated with spinning
- Recurring episodes affecting daily life
How it may be evaluated
Assessment begins with a discussion of symptoms and possible causes. A clinician may perform an examination or balance assessment and decide whether other investigations are needed.
Investigations are selected for the individual. Contact the clinic to confirm where any prescribed imaging can be arranged.
Treatment & support
The approach depends on the cause. Some episodes improve without treatment; a clinician can advise about appropriate management for persistent symptoms.
When to seek help
Seek assessment if vertigo keeps returning, does not settle or disrupts daily activities.

Vertigo consultation in KPHB: plan your next step
Explain what dizziness feels like to you
The word dizziness can describe several experiences. Explain whether you mean spinning, unsteadiness, feeling faint or another sensation. Note what you were doing when it began, whether episodes recur and how they affect ordinary activities. Use your own description rather than trying to fit your experience to a diagnosis you have read online.
Prepare for a discussion of the pattern
If possible, record the timing of recurring episodes and any concerns that happen alongside them. Bring information about current medicines and previous assessments. Ask what the clinician is considering and whether another type of assessment is needed. The clinic’s listing of vertigo as a specialty does not establish that every balance-related investigation is available on site.
Consider the journey and support you need
If balance concerns make travel difficult, ask whether someone should accompany you and confirm access arrangements before visiting. Do not rely on this website for advice about driving or travelling during an episode. New neurological symptoms alongside vertigo need urgent medical assessment. For a planned visit, call to confirm timing and allow space to explain your concerns clearly.
Make space for unanswered questions
Consider what you would like clarified about recurring symptoms, the purpose of an assessment and the plan for reviewing the concern. Ask who to contact about later questions rather than assuming the website form is monitored. If the person attending needs assistance with travel or communication, discuss that with staff in advance. The website cannot confirm a diagnosis or provide individual advice about safe travel.
