Periodic dizziness affects people of all ages.. The most common is the so-called benign positional vertigo, which overtakes a person, for example, when turning or tilting the head.. Recently, scientists from the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (Canada) have developed a device that will help solve this problem, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net The cause of DPG is a violation of the vestibular apparatus. This destroys the receptors of the spherical and elliptical sacs of the inner ear, and as a result, calcium carbonate crystals (statoliths) can enter the fluid that fills the semicircular canals.. To bring them back, it is necessary to carry out a series of special movements.. But it is difficult to remember them, so the patient is rarely able to treat himself on his own.. In this they are called to help a device called DizzyFIX..

The device, which is attached to the headgear, consists of plastic tubes that contain a thick liquid and particles.. When the patient turns his head, he sees the particles in the tubes moving.. To make the necessary movements, you need to pass the contents through the tubes.

"

During the experiment, samples of the device were distributed to 40 patients with DPH. After a week of using the devices, 35 of them had no signs of dizziness.. In addition, there were no serious complications during treatment..

" - The only difference between these methods is that, when you feel dizzy, you simply pull out DizzyFIX from under the bed, put it on your head, and after 2.5 minutes there is no dizziness!

The device will soon be available on prescription in Canada.

What to do? Never jump out of bed fast! Lie down for a few seconds, stretch, take a deep breath, sit on the bed - and only then get up.

Sleep as much as possible - 10-12 hours a day. Hypotension patients are often helped to return to their normal state by sweets, tea or coffee.. But it is much more useful to eat foods high in iron: dried apricots, raisins, pomegranates, carrots, beets, parsley, liver, and also rich in vitamin C: black currants, rose hips, sea buckthorn, citrus fruits, greens... Hypotonics benefit from folic acid, which is found in cabbage.

Instead of tea, drink a decoction of fresh or dried wild strawberry leaves or freshly squeezed juice from a bunch of parsley, two stalks of celery, one peeled garlic clove and four carrots..

Vegetovascular dystonia This is a violation of the autonomic nervous system, which affects almost all body systems..

What to do? With this diagnosis, the doctor may prescribe certain medications.. Special gymnastics for muscles, massage of the hands, shoulder girdle and neck, a contrast shower, which increases vascular tone, can help..

As for nutrition, you need to consume more foods containing potassium and magnesium salts.. These are buckwheat, wild rose, dried apricots, raisins, carrots, soybeans, beans, peas, onions, lettuce, parsley, nuts. To improve blood flow, it is necessary to include vegetable oils, citrus fruits and spices in the diet..

Cervical pathology Dizziness occurs due to impaired blood flow through the vertebral artery and irritation of the vertebral nerve.

What to do? Such patients are prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy, acupuncture, sometimes cervical massage.

If the reason is still in the vestibular apparatus, and you don’t have a “magic” device yet, then try the simplest exercise - head rotation. It should be performed daily for at least a quarter of an hour or 3 times a day for 5 minutes.. It is also useful to stand on one leg - this teaches the body to stay in balance..
