Mark,
A great source of information on medical conditions (reviews of the relevant
clinical literature) is the MedScape database:
<A HREF="http://www.medscape.com/Home/Search/formMedscape.html">Advanced
Medscape Search Form
</A>
http://www.medscape.com/Home/Search/formMedscape.html
The following article may be helpful: You will find a table at the end that
summarizes potential structural and systemic causes of syncope, vertigo, and
nonsyncope nonvertigo dizziness.
