A common complaint: dizziness

Vertigo-ness may suggest BPPV/peripheral.
Anyway, adequate physical exam and work-up is needed.
Peripheral causes:
Common
1. Vestibular neuronitis
2. BPPV
3. Meniere’s disease
Other
1. Infection
2. Trauma
3. Structural/residual defecta
4. Herpes zoster oticus
Should resolve in 6 weeks, i think
