Dizziness Treatment

Dizziness Self-Care at Home

  • Dizziness may be a symptom of something dangerous and should always be discussed with a health care professional.

  • At home, it is recommended for the patient to do the following:

    • Get plenty to drink, have regular meals, and get plenty of rest.

    • Stand up slowly as this may help dizziness associated with position changes.

    • Reassurance can help an anxious person who feels dizzy.

    • Make your home safe for a chronically dizzy person.

      • Banisters, a walker or cane, and tub mats are safety measures that may help avoid injury to the patient.

      • Secure rugs and carpeting to avoid falls.

    • A doctor can recommend resources for a professional home-safety consultant visit.
