Frequently asked questions

What usually causes vertigo or dizziness?

Inner ear conditions like BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), medication side effects, and dehydration are common causes — your clinician reviews your specific pattern to narrow this down. Migraines can also sometimes present with dizziness as a primary symptom.

When is dizziness a medical emergency?

Sudden dizziness with slurred speech, facial drooping, weakness on one side, or a severe headache needs immediate emergency care — these can be signs of a stroke, not routine vertigo. Don't wait to see if these symptoms improve — call for emergency care immediately.

How can I tell if it's an inner ear issue or something else?

Vertigo triggered by specific head movements often points to an inner ear cause, while constant unsteadiness without a spinning sensation can have other causes — your clinician can help distinguish these. Your clinician will ask detailed questions about triggers and duration to help sort this out.

What can help vertigo in the moment?

Moving slowly, sitting or lying down when dizzy, and avoiding sudden head movements can help manage symptoms until you're seen. Focusing on a fixed point can also help reduce the spinning sensation.

What side effects are associated with vertigo treatments?

Medications used for vertigo, like meclizine, commonly cause drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how they affect you. Your clinician will explain what to expect as you start this medication.
