Vertigo (vertigo and pseudovertigo) is one of the most common complaints that people have, when they visit their general practitioner. Epidemiology data bear evidence that vertigo is reported by 20-25% of residents. This symptom is especially common among elderly people. However, only 15% of patients with complaints of vertigo are referred by general practitioners to specialists – neurologists or otorhinolaryngologists (ENT).
