2/The etiology for dizziness depends both on how you define dizziness (i.e., vertigo, imbalance) & where you see the patient
For imaging, subtle distinctions in symptoms usually aren’t provided & many common diagnoses are without imaging findings (BPPV, vestibular migraine)

3/The most important finding on imaging for dizziness is a stroke from vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI)
It's a relatively uncommon etiology of dizziness, but its prevalence increases in emergent/acute dizziness populations
Missed VBI can have profound consequences/morbidity.

I still can’t handle noise or big groups. My life has changed from doing spontaneous things to making plans for each day and pacing.“ - @IrisdeReus

Day 3 of #Omicron symptoms was my worst so far, with fatigue & a very heavy head, alongside sneezing. My tight chest, feeling of reduced lung capacity and tickly lung sensation had subsided slightly, as did the coughing, that had become painful on Day 2 #Oximeter down to 96%...
...so I slept a lot on Day 3.
But now it's 1am on Day 4 and I feel full of life. Fatigue gone. No more headache. Slight wheeze still, Oximeter 96%; no appetite, but sense of smell and taste are fine.
Wonder whether the worst is over, as I'm double AZ-jabbed plus Pfizer-boosted?

I can't find evidence of people relapsing into worsening symptoms post-Day 3, but my lungs are my weakness... Am I good right now because I slept so much over the last 3 days?
Tomorrow I begin my participation in the @UniofOxford #Molnupiravir (antiviral) trial.
