"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"--

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV, is dizziness that comes from the inner ear. It affects more than eight million people in the United States alone. The good news is that this condition can be managed at home. Carol A. Foster, an Associate Professor of Otolaryngology at the University of Colorado, Denver School of Medicine, developed a maneuver that allows sufferers to treat their own symptoms. Her YouTube video demonstrating the maneuver has more than five million views. Written in a friendly and approachable tone, Overcoming Positional Vertigo provides readers a more in-depth guide to the diagnosis of BPPV, the specifics of treatments and maneuvers, and preventative measures one can take to avoid recurrence.

Many common health problems can be treated with simple remedies you can do at home. Even if the steps you take don't cure the problem, they can relieve symptoms and allow you to go about your daily life, or at least help you until you're able to see a doctor. Some remedies, such as changing your diet to deal with heartburn or adapting your home environment to cope with chronic pain, may seem like common sense. You may have questions about when to apply heat or cold to injuries, what helps relieve the itch of an insect bite, or whether certain herbs, vitamins or minerals are really effective against the common cold or insomnia. You'll find these answers and more in Mayo Clinic Book of Home Remedies. In situations involving your health or the health of your family, the same questions typically arise: What actions can I take that are immediate, safe and effective? When should I contact my doctor? What symptoms signal an emergency? Mayo Clinic Book of Home Remedies clearly defines these questions with regard to your health concerns and guides you to choose the appropriate and most effective response.

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!
