Dizziness & Vertigo Support Group

Dizziness is the sensation of instability. Vertigo refers to dizziness with a sensation of motion. Vertigo is more likely than other types of dizziness to be associated with nausea, vomiting, or double vision, to occur even when lying down, and to feel better with the eyes closed. If you are a frequent sufferer of dizziness or vertigo, join the group and find support.

My ENT referred me to a physical therapist at our local hospital who specializes in "Vestibular Therapy". It was helpful to some extent (learning compensatory strategies to deal with the dizziness and exercises to improve my balance).

In all honesty, I didn't experience any major changes in my dizziness through the exercises. Maybe I didn't practice the exercises enough, or maybe I didn't have a positive mindset to experience good results.

The vestibular.org website has a good explanation describing "Vestibular Therapy". Hope this info is helpful.
