Outlook

Most people can manage their symptoms with diet and lifestyle modifications and a medical plan prescribed by their doctor.

  • With a thorough evaluation and if you are motivated, you can often control attacks. Careful follow-ups with your primary care doctor and any consultants are needed on a regular basis to monitor symptoms, progress, and adjust therapy throughout the disease process.

  • About 10% of people require a surgical procedure to control their attacks. Thorough evaluation by an ear, nose, and throat specialist would be done for surgical options if medical management fails.
