Diagnosis and Treatment of Dizziness and Headache

Abstract

Dizziness and headache are separately quite common. There are, ­however, a number of scenarios where the two can be interconnected. An area of significant clinical interest at this time is migraine-associated dizziness, in which the migraine generator produces vestibular symptoms. Also, there can be an overlap between orthostatic intolerance and migraine, with a spectrum of symptoms from palpitations and tachycardia to presyncope or actual syncope. A third important area of overlap is related to mechanical syndromes of the neck, cervicogenic headache, which may overlap, occurring with vestibular symptoms. There are also a number of systemic entities that can cause both dizziness and headache covered in this chapter.
