Dizziness Medical Treatment

Treatment depends on the cause of the patient's dizziness.

  • Doctors may start emergency treatment, perhaps for heart attack or stroke, an emergency blood transfusion, or surgery.

  • Often, IV fluids are given to treat dehydration.

  • The patient may receive medications to control fever or treat infection.

  • The patient may be given oxygen right away.

  • If blood tests reveal abnormal blood chemistry (electrolyte levels), this will be corrected.

  • Other treatments for a specific disease may be started.

  • Sometimes, the only treatment may be a discussion of a likely cause, and home safety.
