Dizziness is the number one reason that people over the age of 60 visit their doctors. The term dizziness is used to describe a wide variety of symptoms including lightheadedness, spinning, floating, unsteadiness and imbalance. There are many causes of dizziness and imbalance including disorders of the vestibular system. The vestibular system includes the balance portion of the inner ear, nerve, and pathways in the brainstem and cerebellum. Physicians may recommend vestibular tests when it is suspected that symptoms may be related to abnormalities in the vestibular system.
