damage may present with similar symptoms, and would obviously require a different type of treatment. As with many diseases or health problems, treatment is fairly
straightforward. It’s the initial diagnosis that is the difficult part. The treatment for dizzy people as a result of vestibular migraines is not unlike treatment for other forms of migraine. Getting more exercise and avoiding triggers such as caffeine, sleep deprivation, low blood sugar, fluorescent lighting and certain foods such as chocolate, red wine and any processed food containing MSG (monosodium gluta- mate) is a good place to start. Unfortunately, avoiding MSG is not as easy as it may sound, as it often goes by several other nicknames. For more information about hidden sources of MSG check out
www.truthinlabeling.org. Vitamin supplements such as Coenzyme Q10 and magnesium have been shown to be therapeutic for some migraine sufferers. Additionally, it is extremely important with ves- tibular migraine patients to perform vestibular rehabilitation aimed at strengthening the part of the brain that processes the information from our inner ear, spine and vision to help us feel oriented. It is not unreasonable to expect that with proper treatment, many people with vestibular migraines can reduce their symptoms and regain their normal lives.
