just wait it out. stop what your doing, and just wait for a little bit. sit down if you need to, but i think laying down or closing your eyes might make it worse. just be patient, and just keep thinking "it;s gonna be gone soon" in your head, that should help

Take a VERY deep breath and hold it until you think you are goind to pass out, then do it again...\n\nAlways works for me.

Breathing is definitely the best way.  Put your feet flat on the floor relax yourself, take on very deep breath, hold it for a few seconds then let it out very slowly.  Repreat it several times and each time you do this relax your shoulders more.  While your doing the breathing picture something that relaxes you, for example, the beach, mountains, whatever it may be.  You'd be surprised, you'll feel refreshed.  This takes time.  You have to remove any negative thoughts from your mind.  It doesn't take too long, so you can do it anywhere.

If you feel like you are going to fall, then your equilibrium might be off.  You should have a physical done soon to get checked out.

Try dropping a few drops of rubbing alcohol in your ear.  Wait for a few moments, then tilt your head the other way and it should all come running out.

I have a very good friend that suffered from vertigo for years--she went to an elks rehab center here and they cured it in one session--has to do with the neck.

Benign positional vertigo (BPV), one of the most common causes of dizziness, is an inner ear malfunction that is common in older adults and people who have suffered head trauma. Traditionally, BPV has been treated over a period of weeks with one or more nonspecific exercises intended to relocate the inner ear debris that causes the spells of dizziness. About four years ago, however, UPMC physicians introduced to the region an innovative "one-time" therapeutic manuever known as particle repositioning. This procedure's sucess rate is now over 90 percent.

Talk to someone. Prayer helps a lot. And take a breather...walk a scenic route, explore places in your areas that offer change of view, perspective or adventure. And drink lots of water too. Believe me, it helps.

It will get better - I promise!  I have been deaf in my left ear since I was 3 because of mumps.  The mumps destroyed the hairs in my inner ear that pass sound to my brain and also affected my balance.  And then, to top it off, at 14 I developed scoliosis - curvature of the spine - which also affects my balance.  \n\nI'm now in my 30s and I can manage to keep my balance in high heels after drinking several tequilas.  I'm not trying to make light; I also suffered from dizzy spells and once passed out in a trolley in Morrisons which was hugely embarrassing.  However, it does get better - it's a case of readjusting.  Follow the doctors' advice - the body is an amazing thing and it will get used to the situtation.  It will be weird for a while, but he will get better.  Just tell him to avoid the tequila and high heels for a while as that takes practice!

Going to the park, or just taking deep breaths.\nJust, sit back and relax like they say.\n\nOr driving also helps me relax until a stupid ass comes along.

Chew some gum that helps with your ears because with out it your ears may pop; yawning at take-off and landing helps too. I pass the time with a good book or my portable DVD player....then your mind isn't on the flight it's on the movie. If you don't have on you can get one at Wal-mart for like a hundred bucks. You can even take a CD player and listen to your favorite music...just relax plane rides are no biggie!

Drink Gatoraid if it's available to you at work, or something with caffeine.  Tap on accupressure points, there are some on the outside of your hand, where the "karate chop" point is, use three fingers from your other hand and tap about 7 times and take deep relaxing breaths, think good thoughts about how you feel when you don't have a headache while you are doing this.  Good luck!

You need to see an ENT. I have Meneivere's Disease and it makes me feel that way. But its more than likely an inner ear infection or disorder. Beleive me I know what it feels like. Its horrible. I have had my disease since 88 but it has tapered off. The Dr can perscribe antivert, which works well for the dizziness and nausea, but valium works better for severe vertigo. Go to the DR.

It may be caused by an inner ear infection or one of several inner ear or balance disorders.  Some forms of vertigo will disappear on their own within six months.\n\nTreatment of vertigo depends on the underlying cause, so proper diagnosis is critical. \nMedications include:\nmeclizine (Antivert, Bonine, Dramamine, Meclicot, Medivert) \ndimenhydrinate (Calm X, Dinate, Dramamine, Dramanate, Hydrate, Triptone) \npromethazine (Anergan, Antinaus, Pentazine, Phenazine, Phencen, Phenergan, Phenerzine, Phenoject, Pro-50, Promacot, Pro-Med 50, Promet, Prorex, Prothazine, Shogan, V-Gan) \nscopolamine (Transderm-Scop) \natropine \ndiazepam (Diastat, Diazepam Intensol, Dizac, Valium)

Dear Crystal***\n\nI have very low blood pressure, anaemia  and before anyone says eat this and eat that, I have always had low blood pressure, anaemia and constantly (seasonal), have sinus attacks.. So much so I had to have x2 operations to clear the right and the left sinus passages.  etc, etc.\n\nI have always had to take iron tablets, which combat the dizzy and tired feelings.  The minute I do not take the tablets, and monthly vitamin B injections, I start the dizzy / tired feelings again.  \n\nBy the way, are you a small lady.  I am 41kg and 5ft3".  Small lady's are most likely to suffer from low blood pressure.  You must also take an extremely good vitamin tablet and caltrate plus for your bones etc.  DAILY.\n\nand,  having sinusitus (chronic) leaves you feeling "drunk", lightheaded, because of all the congestion.  Big worry is when your nose (the gooeeeeeyyyy stuff inside) cannot be "blown" out.\nYou need to get homeopathic drops to be taken daily, called Sambuccus Comp. Drops "Weleda".  I don"t know if you can get this where you are.  I use it daily.   It definately relieves your sinus, and relieves the dizzy, vertigo feeling.  If it does not you must be referred to an ear, nose and throat specialist by your doctor.\nlove peppa-anne\n**p.s.  do try vit. B and iron tab's.
