Tips To Reduce Dizziness

Independent

If you’re prone to repeated episodes of dizziness or vertigo, try the following tips to stop the world from going round:

• Sit or lie down immediately when you feel lightheaded. Lying down will encourage blood flow to your brain and ease symptoms of dizziness.
• Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dizziness caused by overheating or dehydration.
• Avoid excessive use of alcohol, caffeine, salt, or tobacco since these substances may worsen your symptoms of dizziness.
• Eat fruits and vegetables filled with water and high in nutrients. Bananas, apples, peaches, grapes, tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers are rich in iron, potassium, and vitamins that can help when you’re dizzy.
• Get enough sleep to avoid lightheadedness and tension headaches.
• Monitor your blood pressure.
• Be aware of the possibility of losing your balance which may lead to falls or serious injuries.
• If you’re prone to dizziness, fall-proof your home by removing rugs, exposed electrical cords, and other tripping hazards. Also, use good lighting.
• If your medication is the cause of your dizziness, consult with your doctor about discontinuing it, lowering the dosage, or switching to a different drug.
• Try acupuncture to relieve dizziness and vertigo.
