Clarifying Types of Vertigo
- Vertigo is best categorized into central versus peripheral causes for clinical clarity.
- Differentiating types of dizziness (true vertigo, lightheadedness, imbalance, psychogenic) aids diagnosis.
Use Timing and Triggers in Vertigo
- Use timing and triggers to classify vertigo as acute or chronic, continuous or episodic.
- This approach narrows differential diagnosis and guides urgent management, especially distinguishing stroke from benign causes.
Morning Headache Indicates ICP
- Ask about headache timing and characteristics, especially morning headaches.
- Morning headaches with nausea can indicate increased intracranial pressure, a neurological red flag.
