Consultant cardiologist and arterial catheterization specialist Dr. Khalid Al-Nemer explained that dizziness is a common complaint often misinterpreted, as many attribute it to the heart while its most common source is the inner ear or nerves and brain.

Dr. Al-Nemer confirmed that dizziness requires immediate cardiac evaluation when accompanied by one or more of the following symptoms:

• Chest pain

• Heart palpitations

• Shortness of breath

• Sudden fainting

• Cold sweat

He warned that combining dizziness with any of these signs may indicate a heart rhythm disorder or lack of perfusion, making immediate emergency attendance necessary without delay.
