DIZZINESS
PREVENTION |
|
|
Most people learn through experience
that certain activities will make them dizzy and they learn to avoid
them. For example, if reading in a car produces motion sickness, an
individual leaves reading materials for after the trip. Changes to
the diet can also cut down on episodes of dizziness in susceptible
people. Relaxation techniques can help ward off tension and anxiety
that can cause dizziness.
These techniques can help minimize or even prevent dizziness for
people with chronic diseases. For example, persons with Méniére's
disease may avoid episodes of vertigo by leaving salt, alcohol, and
caffeine out of their diets. Reducing blood cholesterol can help
diminish arteriosclerosis and indirectly treat dizziness.
Some cases of dizziness cannot be prevented. Acoustic neuromas, for
example, are not predictable or preventable. When the underlying
cause of dizziness cannot be discovered, it may be difficult to
recommend preventive measures. Alternative approaches designed to
rebalance the body's energy flow, such as acupuncture and
constitutional homeopathy, may be helpful in cases where the cause
of dizziness cannot be pinpointed. |
