Can any one suggest a good home remedy for vertigo?
Hi dear Ashrafa, there are lots of things you need to know, first of all a person need to know reason of vertigo, since many times people think dizziness as vertigo and sometimes vertigo as dizziness. Vertigo can be due to Labyrinthitis, it can be Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) , can be because of Meniere's disease .
There are many online documentation which can help,
The following measures may help prevent bouts of vertigo, as well as reducing their severity:
- Sleep with your head slightly higher than the rest of your body. Slightly prop up your head and shoulders with a couple of extra pillows.
- If you have to pick something up from the floor or a surface far below your head, try to avoid bending down - the aim being to prevent your head from being lower or much lower than your shoulders. If you have good legs, try bending your legs to lower yourself rather than bending over.
- When reaching up for something, try not to extend your neck.
- If your neck is extended, or when you are lying down flat, more your head slowly.
- If you feel an episode of vertigo coming on sit down immediately. Avoid triggers that can make symptoms worse, such as bright lights, reading, sudden movements or watching TV.
- After an attack is over do not rush to return to normal activities; take your time.
- Stop smoking - people who suffer from episodes of vertigo usually experience fewer episodes and less severe symptoms if they give up smoking.
- If your vertigo is due to motion sickness, such as a rocking boat, and you feel symptoms coming on, fix your eyes on an unmoving object in the distance.
- A walking stick will not prevent symptoms, but can help with balance and prevent falls and injuries.
But best is to visit some qualified doctor and get it diagnosed properly. If its reason is known then its easy to cure in most cases.
