Dizziness and palpitations: which department to visit?
Disease description:
I have been feeling dizzy and palpitated lately. I would like to ask which department I should visit for general dizziness and palpitations?
Patients experiencing dizziness and palpitations can choose the following departments based on their specific symptoms:
1. **Cardiology**: If the patient has mild dizziness but mainly experiences palpitations, especially those with a history of coronary heart disease, it is recommended to visit the cardiology department.
2. **Neurology**: If the patient primarily experiences dizziness, accompanied by headache, blurred vision, and has a history of neurological diseases, it is recommended to visit the neurology department.
3. **Emergency Department**: If the patient experiences significant dizziness, headache, palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, or even symptoms such as inability to open the eyes, visual rotation, transient loss of vision, along with noticeable nausea and vomiting, immediate visit to the hospital emergency department is necessary to avoid delay in treatment.
Before registering, patients are advised to consult the hospital's information desk or relevant department physicians to receive more accurate guidance.
