Patients who experience dizziness report a variety of symptoms depending on the exact nature of their balance disorder. There include: Lightheadedness, fainting, unsteadiness, weakness, confusion, disorientation, blurred vision. Technically speaking, vertigo is a symptom itself rather than a disease. It is characterized by the sensation that you or the environment is moving or spinning. This may be accompanied by additional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, hearing loss, tinnitus, difficulty focusing or moving the eyes, double vision and a feeling of fullness in the ear.
