But weeks later, you still feel off-balance, lightheaded, or just\u2026 weird.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n
A new study in the Ear, Nose & Throat Journal<\/em> reveals why vertigo can linger long after treatment \u2014 and the four things that make it worse.<\/p>\n And more importantly, how to get rid of it for good.<\/p>\n Researchers followed 193 people treated for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)\u2014the most common form of vertigo.<\/p>\n They tracked who fully recovered and who still had symptoms four weeks later.<\/p>\n ●\tThe most common symptoms were: ●\tThe longer people waited to get help, the worse their recovery was.<\/p>\n ●\tHigher anxiety = more dizziness. Stress and vertigo create a nasty feedback loop.<\/p>\n ●\tPoor sleepers struggled more. The worse their sleep was before treatment, the harder it was to recover.\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n And here\u2019s the kicker\u2026<\/p>\n Vertigo itself can cause stress and sleep issues, which then make it last longer. So, what can you do?<\/p>\n 1. Get treated early. The longer you wait, the harder it is to recover.<\/p>\n 2. Keep anxiety in check. Deep breathing, meditation, or even just not stressing over every dizzy spell can help.<\/p>\n 3. Fix your sleep. A dark, quiet room and a consistent bedtime can help reset your system.<\/p>\n 4. Learn vertigo exercises at home. They\u2019re easy, and they work\u2014if you know what to do.<\/p>\n The good news\u2026 even if you suffer from the most stubborn vertigo, you can eliminate it in days\u2026 sometimes minutes.<\/p>\n How?<\/p>\n\n
\n ○\tFeeling dizzy (58%)
\n ○\tFeeling unsteady (32%)
\n ○\tA pulling sensation in the head\/neck (19%)<\/p>\n
