An acute vertigo episode is a sudden onset of intense dizziness or spinning, often without warning. It can last for seconds, minutes, or even hours—and may leave you feeling disoriented, nauseated, or completely off balance.

These episodes are common in many vestibular disorders, especially early on or during flare-ups.

Here’s what you can do if one hits:
➡️ Find a safe, quiet place to sit or lie down
➡️ Keep your eyes focused on a fixed object
➡️ Breathe slowly and deeply to calm your nervous system
➡️ Avoid triggers like caffeine, alcohol, or sudden movement
➡️ Keep a “vertigo kit” nearby: meds, acupressure bands, migraine glasses, water, noise cancelling headphones.
✨ If it’s your first episode—or symptoms are severe—don’t wait to get medical help. Learn more here: https://vestibular.org/article/coping-support/living-with-a-vestibular-disorder/how-to-deal-with-an-acute-vertigo-episode/
