Vertigo is a common problem that affects more and more older people. It is a feeling of being dizzy or like the room is spinning. It can be caused by many things, such as inner ear problems, head injuries, side effects of medications, and more.
There are a lot of things you can do to prevent and deal with vertigo. Here are some things you can do to avoid vertigo:
Stay hydrated:
Dehydration can make you feel dizzy and make vertigo worse, so it’s important to drink a lot of fluids throughout the day.
Get enough sleep:
Vertigo and dizziness can also be caused by not getting enough sleep, so make sure you get enough sleep every night.
Avoid triggers:
Vertigo can be caused by things like bright lights, loud sounds, or sudden movements. Try to stay away from these things as much as you can.
Practice good posture:
Bad posture can throw off your balance and make you more likely to trip and fall, which can cause vertigo. Make sure you are sitting and standing up straight, with your shoulders back and your head up.
Exercise regularly:
Regular exercise can help you keep your balance and make it less likely that you will trip and fall. Try doing things like yoga or tai chi that make you think about your balance.
Limit alcohol and caffeine:
Both alcohol and caffeine can make you less stable and more likely to fall. Try to limit your use of these things or stay away from them completely.
If you do get vertigo, there are a number of things you can do to deal with it:
Sit down:
If you feel dizzy or faint, you should sit down right away. This will keep you from falling and make you less likely to get hurt.
Focus on a stationary object:
Staring at something still can help you feel less dizzy or like you’re spinning.
Practice deep breathing:
Deep breathing can help calm your nervous system and reduce feelings of panic or anxiety.
Use medication:
Some people with vertigo are given medicine to help them feel better. Talk to your doctor about whether or not you should take medicine.
Try physical therapy:
Physical therapy can help improve your balance and reduce your risk of falls. Your doctor may recommend a physical therapist to work with you.
Vertigo can be annoying and hard to live with, but there are many things you can do to prevent it and deal with its effects. You can lower your risk of vertigo and live a healthier, more balanced life by taking care of your body, practicing good posture, and being aware of your triggers.
