My 10 Tips To help Dizziness

  1. Keep away from big screen TVs ( Fellow dizzies I know you understand)
  2. Maintain a regular sleep pattern (Doctors have always told me this)
  3. Limit alcohol consumption ( It makes many peoples symptoms much worse. Others find it has no effect on there dizziness. all I will say is a hangover is never fun especially when you also have to deal with dizziness and vertigo)
  4. If possible limit computer use ( computers can quickly increase the fuzziness and balance issues)
  5. Do some light exercise ( If your dizziness permits and you are able to do so)
  6. Try to keep emotions in check (It's hard when you have a vestibular disorder but anger and stress will increase the dizziness)
  7. keep to well lit environments ( dark/dull environments and bad artificial lighting such as fluorescent lights or just old fading light bulbs around the house can increase symptoms)
  8. Don't over do it (Be as active and as sociable as you can but trying to please everyone and running around here and there can certainly take it's toll)
  9. Limit your exposure to busy environments (city streets,supermarkets can increase disorientation fast for somebody with a vestibular disorder)
  10. Have time alone (If possible remove yourself for 30min from busy visual stimuli and noise. Find a quiet spot and relax and accept the dizziness)
Of course some of the above may be hard to achieve especially if you have a part time/full time job and are a mother or father with children to run around and mouths to feed.

So there you have it. My quick 10 tips to help dizziness
