Dizziness versus vertigo - There are differences in Romanian as well. Ameţeală punctually indicates the symptom, which may pertain to peripherral neurological syndromes (like here), metabolic disorders, as well as a subjective, non-pathological sensatio

Dizziness versus vertigo - There are differences in Romanian as well. Vertigo (or the "localized" vertij) indicates the entire medical syndrome, occured in various disorders (as of the inner ear, etc)

Dizziness versus vertigo. This is an important question. "Dizziness" is a sensation of movement within the skull, or a general giddy feeling. "Vertigo" is a sensation that the surroundings are moving or that the patient's entire body is moving, especially rotating. (Dorland's Medical Dictionary (Engl>Engl)). In English medical practice the two are very different. In Romanian, does ame�eal� indicate both dizziness and vertigo?

Yes. Membrelor superioare (membru). Upper limbs (arms). My errors.

The answer offered (i.e. "dizziness") is correct, but "membrelor superioare" from the context means "upper limbs", not "upper peritoneal membranes"..
