Dizziness is a common but often nonspecific symptom. Through careful history taking and physical examination, primary care physicians can usually determine the type of sensation (vertigo or light-headedness) and its source. Although most causes of dizziness are benign, disorders of the central nervous system tend to be ominous and require immediate referral to a specialist.
头晕是一种常见但往往不具特异性的症状。通过仔细的病史采集和体格检查，初级保健医生通常能够确定感觉的类型（眩晕或头晕目眩）及其来源。虽然大多数头晕的病因是良性的，但中枢神经系统疾病往往较为凶险，需要立即转诊给专科医生。
