Joey Remenyi from Seeking Balance International talks about Vertigo While Driving.
Believe it or not, I’ve had vertigo while driving, and it’s not pleasant at all. In fact, I find driving stressful at the best of times, even when I’m clear-headed and thinking well. So on top of that, have my vision going everywhere, feeling dizzy and feeling my stomach drop while I’m holding onto the steering wheel on a highway, it’s a very anxiety-producing event. So how did I get through that? It’s just random vertigo, it happens when it happens. And the most common response to having an onset of sudden vertigo and dizziness would be anxiety. So all of that’s quite normal.
I’m a vestibular audiologist and I’m highly trained in vertigo and dizziness, so I had a few key insights as to what to do, and I knew if the vertigo did not resolve quickly, I had to pull over because I would then become a danger to everybody else around me. So that was on my mind. I held onto the steering wheel, I felt my seatbelt, I really just ground my sitting bones, my buttocks and my legs. I did a quick body scan in my chair and I checked that I could sense I could orient myself and that I could have stable enough vision to drive safely.
