χουν αναφερθεί κατά σειρά φθίνουσας συχνότητας: ίλιγγος, κεφαλαλγία, γαστρεντερικές διαταραχές, ναυτία, αγγειοδιαστολή και ζάλη.
Normally I’d translate as dizziness but the problem is that ζάλη occurs at the end of the list....

Vertigo vs. Dizziness
Vertigo is an “illusory sense that either the environment or one’s own body is revolving; it may result from diseases of the inner ear or may be due to disturbances of the vestibular centers or pathways in the CNS. This term is sometimes erroneously used to mean any form of dizziness.” Dizziness is a “disturbed sense of relationship to space; a sensation of unsteadiness with a feeling of movement within the head.”
