[edit] Site of Blood
what about dizziness which is caused by the site of blood
- Please be more specific. Site of the blood? You mean http://www.bloodjournal.org ? JFW | T@lk 13:34, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

- Come now, JFW, I think we all know what he means. Dizziness caused by the sight of blood is more than likely a symptom of hemophobia, the fear of blood. StratfordHeights 00:19, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
What about dizziness caused by excessive consumption of alcohol, marijuana, etc.
- This would be a symptom of drunkenness or cannabis intoxication, respectively. StratfordHeights 00:19, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] pre-syncope
someone more knoweledjabe than me should cheak either this page or the page on fainting, which seem to have different defenitions of syncopes and pre syncopes. see fainting
- No they do not seem to be different definitions of the same word, they are different definitions of different words. One is PRE-syncope, which is feeling lightheaded or about to faint. The other is SYNCOPE which is actually fainting.
[edit] Vertigo info redundant and confusing
The article Vertigo (medical) states "Vertigo should not be confused with dizziness. Dizziness is an unpleasant feeling of light-headedness, giddiness or fuzziness often accompanied by nausea."
However, the Dizziness article makes no such distinction between the two. This is confusing, so I'm adding a mergeto-multiple template. --Renice 14:28, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vertigo + Dizziness
Vote to merge the two. They are often confused and by having separate pages just compounds this. For example a square is a speical kind of rectangle but a rectangle is not necessarily a square. The same is true of vertigo - it is a special kind of dizziness, but not all dizziness is vertigo. There should be a sinlge page dealing with the various manifestations of dizziness which include, as one of them, vertigo.
- That's fine, but I don't think giddiness should redirect here. I think giddiness is more like inappropriate laughter resulting from fatigue.
