Balance, Dizziness, and TremorsThis session was recorded at the Pri-Med Southwest Annual Conference

In this session, we will review common presentations and causes of balance, dizziness symptoms, and tremor. Participants will focus on high-yield questions to differentiate between different causes of dizziness, and subsequent diagnostic evaluation techniques for these different etiologies. History and examination techniques in the evaluation of balance disturbances will be reviewed. Participants will also learn how to classify tremors by phenomenology and use that classification to generate a differential diagnosis and treatment plan.
