I am suffering from VERTIGO and I am currently undergoing treatment for the same since 4 years. If I start Homeopathic Treatment, do I need to discontinue them?
HOMEOPATHIC medicines start acting on the body immediately on starting the treatment. But since you have been taking conventional medicines for a long time now, it is not advisable to stop them right away. On stopping the conventional medicines, it is possible that the disease returns with a higher intensity. Along with parallel HOMEOPATHIC treatment, you can gradually taper off your doses of the medicine under the guidance of your expert HOMEOPATHIC physician. Eventually, you can discontinue your conventional medicines.

I have VERTIGO and I get attacks of dizziness anytime and anywhere. It becomes difficult for me to manage myself that time. What should I do at that time?
When you feel that you will get an attack of dizziness, immediately take hold of the nearest support available, for example a pillar or any stationary object. Get into a position which is most stable and comfortable and keep yourself as still as possible. If moving becomes necessary, do it very slowly and carefully. Close your eyes or keep them fixed on objects in front of you.
Eventually, once there is improvement, start moving gradually. It is also very important, that you should not panic and become anxious.
Moving very quickly or rapidly can become harmful. You should not turn your head suddenly.
If you are having this frequently, and if you are not getting any relief from your regular treatment, you must reconsider your treatment options and opt for one that gives you a long lasting relief.
