What happens if Giddiness is left untreated?

Untreated giddiness can lead to serious complications including increased fall risk with potential fractures, social isolation due to fear of symptoms, and progression of underlying neurological conditions. Dizziness is a common, chronic, and often untreated symptom associated with extensive handicap and psychological morbidity.

When should you see a doctor?

Chronic or severe symptoms should always be checked out by a doctor. If you're experiencing chronic or severe and sudden-onset dizziness, it's important to speak with a healthcare professional right away. Seek immediate medical attention if giddiness is accompanied by severe headache, vision changes, weakness, or chest pain.
