When caring for someone with vertigo and dizziness, it's important to remember that these conditions can affect people physically, mentally, and emotionally. Vertigo and dizziness can interfere with their ability to perform certain tasks, requiring them to ask or need more assistance. They may also be more prone to unsteadiness, nausea, and vomiting. Providing help when they need to sit and stand can help them avoid falls. Depending upon the cause of their vertigo and dizziness, you may need to help them with their daily medications and doctor's appointments. Remember that symptoms can vary in type and severity. Make sure you're there to provide emotional support, and help them find other resources, like support groups.
