Lifestyle and home remedies
By Mayo Clinic staffIf you experience dizziness, consider these tips:
- Be aware of the possibility of losing your balance, which can lead to falling and serious injury.
- Fall-proof your home by removing tripping hazards such as area rugs and exposed electrical cords. Use nonslip mats on your bath and shower floors.
- Sit or lie down immediately when you feel dizzy.
- Avoid driving a car or operating heavy machinery if you experience frequent dizziness.
- Use good lighting if you get out of bed at night.
- Walk with a cane for stability.
- Avoid using caffeine, alcohol and tobacco. Excessive use of these substances can restrict your blood vessels and worsen your signs and symptoms.
- Work closely with your doctor to manage your symptoms effectively.
