Living with Dizziness

It's easy to brush off getting dizzy once or twice. But when dizziness starts coming and going repeatedly, you might start wondering: How do you know if dizziness is serious? Below we'll describe the difference between Peripheral Vertigo vs. Central Vertigo. And what symptoms you should look for to know if your dizziness is serious.

Like having a noisy neighbor, living with vestibular migraine is just as much about learning to cope with the “noise” as it is about actually confronting the noise. Ear plugs, soundproofing, a schedule — these are the tools of dealing with a noisy neighbor. Work routines, travel strategies, proper diet, and cognitive resilience — these are the tools of living with vestibular migraine (VM).

If you’ve been getting migraines for years and are now starting to get frequent dizzy spells too, then you may have vestibular migraine. If you’ve never heard of vestibular migraine, then you’re not alone.
