I am interested in these dizziness coping solutions. I’ve had brief bouts of dizziness for years, but now they are very frequent, and last for hours. I’ve decided that morning movements bring them on - dressing, making the bed, loading the dishwasher etc. I find that when I’m about ready to leave the house after completing morning tasks, I am dizzy.
My son is visiting, and this has altered or ruined activities every morning. Instead of lying down, I am trying to power through it, and I eventually end up feeling drained and well, just sick. We had plans to visit the shopping mall, the large department stores, to shop for a new suitcase for me ( not sure why I need a new suitcase now, but I’m stubborn sometimes). I have found that if I keep my sunglasses on inside, it calms down the dizziness somewhat. I used the “ focal point” trick, which for me is keeping my gaze slightly to the right, and downward. We had to visit the far end of the mall. Because I’m tired of being a sick Mom, and ruining outings, we walked the length of the mall, shopped, and came back. Kept my sunglasses on. Used my reading glasses on top of the sunglasses. All my little oxygen-deprived leg muscles protested (SFN).
I’m 63 and can’t even go shopping now without suffering. A year ago I was doing a two mile hike. Crazy.
