Long Covid and Dizziness: Part 1

In this episode I talk about dizziness as experienced by Long Covid sufferers. This is Part 1 in which I talk about the various presentations of dizziness, and focusing on two of the commonest ones, the diagnoses and treatments. In Part 2, I will talk about another common cause, its treatment, as well as the general whole person advice for Long Covid. I am Dr Tim Robinson, formerly a GP for 30 years, retired as planned at the start of the Covid pandemic. Since then I have become involved in the world of Long Covid.
