There are many myths about vertigo and dizziness and other balance problems, and I need to tell you about the more serious ones…
Myth Number 1:
Vertigo and dizziness is just a normal part of aging.
Absolutely not.
You shouldn’t accept vertigo just because you’re getting older.
It sets on people as they age because of an underlying factor that commonly affects older people.
I’ll tell you more about this in a second.
However, if you tackle this underlying vertigo and dizziness factor, your vertigo will be gone in minutes – never to return – no matter what age group you belong to.
Myth Number 2:
Vertigo is a direct cause of another disease.
Ménière’s, vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis are commonly blamed.
Yes, these diseases are associated with vertigo. But they aren’t the real underlying cause.
In fact, doctors have no idea what causes these diseases. They say Ménière’s causes vertigo and then state that vertigo is the main symptom of Ménière’s.
Like a dog chasing its tail, this just leaves you dizzier than ever and without a real solution.
Myth Number 3:
Medications and surgery cure vertigo and dizziness.
If they don’t know what causes vertigo, how are they going to cure it?
Now, I’ll always encourage everyone to listen to their doctors and follow their advice.
But if yours is not open to alternative methods, get a second opinion.
And when you have a doctor who is truly educated and honest, he or she will tell you that very few people benefit from vertigo medications and surgery.
In fact, the side effects are usually horrible. They’ll make your problems worse in the long haul.
Common side effects of vertigo and dizziness medications are:
Dry mouth
Drowsiness
Nausea and vomiting
Blurred vision
Confusion
And most ironically: DIZZINESS!!!
