This is conducive to relieving the symptoms of vertigo, preventing the recurrence of vertigo, and controlling the further development of the condition. Commonly used health care measures to prevent and control vertigo are as follows:
I. Dietary regimen should be carried out. Vertigo patient's diet should be nutritious and fresh and light as the principle. To eat more eggs, lean meat, green vegetables and fruits. Avoid eating fat, sweet and spicy things, such as fat meat, fried things, alcohol, chili peppers and so on. Nutrient-rich food can supplement the body's deficiency, so that the qi and blood is vigorous and the brain marrow is full. Vertigo caused by anemia, leukopenia or chronic wasting disease, especially should be based on nutritional conditioning. Fatty, sweet and spicy products can generate phlegm and help fire, which will aggravate vertigo. Therefore, people suffering from hypertension and cerebral arteriosclerosis should be cautious of the use of fat, sweet and spicy things. During the acute attack of vertigo, the intake of water and salt should be properly controlled. Modern medicine believes that this can reduce the edema of the inner ear labyrinth and vestibular nerve nucleus, thus relieving the symptoms of vertigo or reducing the attacks.

Melancholy and anger and other mental stimuli can lead to liver yang hyperactivity or liver wind internal movement, and induce vertigo. Therefore, the vertigo patient should be broad-minded, optimistic, relaxed, emotional stability, which is very important for the prevention of vertigo attacks and reduce the number of attacks.
Three, pay attention to rest and living. Excessive fatigue or lack of sleep is one of the triggering factors for vertigo. Regardless of the attack of vertigo or after the attack should pay attention to rest. In the acute attack of vertigo should be bed rest. If vertigo is caused by insufficient blood supply to the vertebral basilar artery, the symptoms will be aggravated when standing, but can be alleviated when lying in bed. Bed rest also prevents physical injuries caused by fainting. It is important for patients with vertigo to get enough sleep. Symptoms may decrease or disappear with adequate sleep. Furthermore, patients with vertigo should avoid turning their head and neck back and forth as much as possible. If there are inner ear lesions, the change of head position can affect the function of the vestibular system and induce vertigo. When cervical spondylosis patients turn their necks or tilt their necks, the vertebral arteries can be pressurized and affect the blood circulation in the brain, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain and inducing vertigo. Sound and light stimulation can also aggravate vertigo, so the room should be quiet, the light should be dark.
