Symptoms self-reported by patients subcategorized according to total OIQ score. All patients were subcategorized according to total OIQ scores at intervals of 5 points. Each point of the decagonal scale represents the mean score of each symptom in the designated subgroup. For example, in the subgroup of patients with total OIQ score between 15 and 19 (purple line), the mean score of Nausea, Tremor in hands, Dizziness, and Palpitation was 1.3, 0.7, 2.8, and 1.8, respectively. Dizziness and headache were the two most common symptoms complained of by patients with an OIQ score < 20.
