Book excerpt: "Drs. Gregory Whitman, an otoneurologist, and Robert Baloh, a neurologist, have written a remarkably readable and compassionate book for anyone who has dizziness, whether acutely, episodically, or chronically. Their book describes the conditions that cause dizziness and explains what people with dizziness can do to feel better. For older people especially, addressing dizziness means a better chance of avoiding a fall and retaining independence. The authors begin by explaining why it's important to overcome dizziness and describing how dizziness is diagnosed and treated. They then describe two conditions--benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and orthostatic hypotension--which cause dizzy spells when a person changes position. Next are the causes of dizzy spells that happen in attacks and without any trigger, most prominently Meniere's disease and migraine-associated dizziness. The third part of the book is for people who have a single bout of dizziness that lasts for days and then gradually improves, generally brought on by either vestibular neuritis or stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). Finally, the authors explore the causes of constant dizziness that lasts for days, months, and even years. These are anxiety, Mal de debarquement Syndrome, dizziness due to loss of function in both ears, and small vessel ischemic disease. An Appendix offers advice about home exercises for dizziness, and a Glossary defines terms. This book stands to become the definitive consumer health book on this topic. With the aging of the population, dizziness will become a more common problem, so the book may also be of interest and use to primary care providers"--

Download or read book Dizzy Spells and Sudden Dizziness written by Katherine Milleford and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-18 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dizziness has a certain way of adversely affecting your daily activities - and that's putting it nicely. This is because when the world is spinning all around you, you can't exactly focus on the task at hand. Your brain is blurry, you can't think clearly, your muscle coordination is off, and - if you're anything like me - you're also feeling queasy and nauseous. Addressing your dizziness problem early is critical, because by getting down to the root cause, you have a much better chance of curing it or at least being in a position to reduce the severity of the symptoms and cope more effectively. This book is going to present you with a lot of information in easy-to-understand language about the potential causes of your dizziness, and what you can do about it in terms of coping, management, and medical treatment. Of course, it is always recommended that you go visit your doctor in person if you're experiencing frequent dizziness, and this book is not intended to be a substitute for such a consultation. It will, however, help you be prepared to have a more comprehensive discussion with him or her.

Download or read book Dizziness and Vertigo written by Stephanie Ridd and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simply put, the condition called Vertigo is when an individual feels as if they or the objects within the premises they are or their immediate environs are moving when in actual sense they are not! As a matter of fact, over and over again, anyone with this kind of feeling may even feel that a whirling or oscillation movement is happening around him or her. Besides that... this movement may be manifested in addition to sweating, nausea, difficulties in walking or vomiting. Yes, the situation may be uncharacteristically worsened when the head is moved. Now, without doubt, vertigo is the best publicly known type of dizziness but certainly not the only one. In fact, the most common illnesses that result in vertigo are Meniere's disease, labyrinthitis and what is often known as BPPV which is an acronym for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. This is often caused by migraines, stroke, brain injury, brain tumors, and multiple sclerosis. However, physiological vertigo may take place when one has been exposed to some kind of motion for an extended period of time such as when one is on a ship travel or merely following a spinning process with the eyes shut. Besides those, other grounds for such occurrence may comprise of things like toxin contacts such as the use of aspirin, alcohol, or exposure to carbon monoxide, a gas that can eliminate oxygen! As a matter of fact, Vertigo is a kind of issue that occurs in a part of the vestibular system. Nevertheless, the other reasons for dizziness consist of disequilibrium, non-specific dizziness and presyncope. But the truth is that Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo also known as BPPV for short as mentioned above, is more to be expected or likely in somebody who gets recurrent episodes of vertigo with movement but are known to be otherwise normal in the middle of these incidents. In fact, the occurrences of vertigo should not last more than one minute. However, in the case of Meniere's ailment there is over and over again some resounding in the ears, yes even hearing impairment, and as a matter of fact the occurrences of vertigo can last in excess of 20 minutes! Anyway, I would like you to take the opportunity of being here now to get your copy of this book today. Yes, without doubt, it will help you get the hidden secrets to why you feel dizzy and what will help you feel better today!

Download or read book Dizzy Spells written by Dizzy Spells and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-20 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storytelling in rhymn. A collection of poems from Dizzy Spells who has drawn heavily on personal experience to create these wonderfully touching accounts of the range of human emotions and ungodly thoughts that we are all susceptible to. Dizzy Spells grew up in a typical dis-functional family in the 60's and 70's. Back then it was socially acceptable for men to openly ogle women and make sexist derogatory remarks - that were just jokes. If women didn't find them funny, they were regarded as lacking a sense of humor, frigid or lesbians! Those "Carry on" films have got a lot to answer for. Imagine if you will, you're watching one of them.You hear sleazy saxophone music. What always happens next? The camera zooms in for a close up of the women's bits. From an early age Dizzy developed a personality and sense of humor described as strange, quirky, un-ladylike or just plain rude. Dizzy was walking down the road with her Mother and an old man came walking towards them with a giant hernia. Dizzy openly stared in repulsed fascination and as he got level with them she said to her Mother; " Did you see the size of his balls" and immediately received a heavy blow to the back of her head from her Mother. Thank goodness we've moved on since then. Well some of us anyway. Words like unisex, equality, respect, and political correctness and my favorite, gender tourism, have helped shape our society as it is today, and informs us in moving forward in a positive and harmonious and healthy way. It's only now that we all know and accept - MEN that when a woman says no, she means no! And the kind of behavior that was once regarded as an obsessive love interest has now thankfully been relabeled "stalking." Even so, society is still dealing with the fallout of those ignorant times in the form of drug addicts, drunks, flakes and weirdos, mental health sufferers and maniacs. We all know children learn what they live, and in Dizzy's case it explains a lot! Her poems cover diverse subjects with such an unashamed simple and sometime brutal honesty that makes the reading of them easy and refreshing.
