Vertigo is the feeling that a room is spinning--Dizziness is when you feel lightheaded and disoriented. Use these five ways (steps) to cure dizziness and vertigo, and reclaim your life.
Lay Down
Whenever you begin to experience vertigo or dizziness you should lay down immediately. This will help reduce the symptoms while also giving you a safe place to land. When you're ready to get back up, rise slowly from your bed to prevent a sudden onset of symptoms.
Limit Alcohol
Consuming alcohol will only make dizziness and vertigo worse. Avoid alcohol or limit your daily intake to two servings. If you chronically suffer from dizziness or vertigo, eliminate alcohol altogether to cure dizziness and vertigo.
Eat
Dizzy spells and vertigo (spinning) can also be caused by low blood glucose levels. Maintain your blood glucose levels by eating healthy, well-balanced meals every 2-3 hours. Pack low-fat snacks to keep your energy soaring, and to prevent vertigo and dizziness.
Visit a Doctor
Make a doctors appointment to discuss your vertigo and dizziness if your symptoms persist. Your doctor will recommend working with a physical therapist to evaluate and treat the cause of your vertigo.
Evaluate Medications
Dizziness and vertigo can occur when starting on new medications. Notify your doctor and pharmacist if dizziness or vertigo occur after taking a new medication. It could be a side effect of your new drug therapy.
