I'm into my second week of radiation for base of tongue and began to experience VERTIGO which I have never had in my life. Did receive some meds but they do very little.
I am passing along something I found on the web that seems to work . Wanted to pass this along so that it might help someone else.
Anyone with other suggestions, please post. Thanks to everyone, this site has been so much help to me.
The Brandt-Daroff exercise is done as follows:
- Sit on the edge of a bed or sofa, and quickly lean to the side that causes the worst vertigo. You should end up lying on your side with your ear down.
- Remain in this position until either the vertigo goes away or 30 seconds have passed.
- Sit up. If this causes vertigo, wait for it to stop. Repeat the procedure on the other side.
People using this exercise usually are instructed to do 20 repetitions of the exercise at least twice a day.
