Ok everyone, I have to ask, When I am at home and not working, I spend every chance I get laying down. I just find myself more relaxed and less dizzy at time, but there are also times that I am so dizzy that I have to take short walks just to calm me down, I dont know if that makes sense to anyone. Does anyone else do that too? I have want to do a short exercise routine, even if its just stretching but bending down makes me dizzy. Any input?

Hi! To be honest I feel the best when I am driving and once I have been out of the house for a while. I feel the worst when I am sitting (watching TV) or at work. I am still trying to find my balance.

When I'm feeling woosy and unsteady, I get myself outside in the fresh country air. This somehow helps to clear my head. I find this very helpful in the winter when your couped up inside. I also keep a bedroom window open for fresh air. Keep searching for what helps you. Take care

Thank you, and your both right, me driving and being out in the fresh air also helps me. If I could have a hammock out in my back yard with a big tree it would be perfect!

After spending so much time stcuk in the house and not being able to get out, I did actually have a good walk yesterday. It really did me the world of good and I felt great for the rest of the day. I have woken this morning and although I feel a litle lightheaded, I still feel really psoitive.
Just be careful that what ever you do you are safe and not putting yourself at risk in any way shape or form. If you do a bit of research you could put yourself a stretching program together where you are either lay down or seated. Breathing exercises are good as well and we should allocate time in our schedule to relax even for just 10 mins. Take care x
