      Hello, I am 32 years old. I do often suffer from vertigo. I have not informed this to any one. My parents will be worried. Please advise some self care to treat vertigo.

        @bidhan Depending on what's causing your vertigo, there may be things you can do yourself to help relieve your symptoms. Your GP or the specialist treating you may advise you to:
        do simple exercises to correct your symptoms
        sleep with your head slightly raised on two or more pillows
        get up slowly when getting out of bed and sit on the edge of the bed for a minute or so before standing
        avoid bending down to pick up items
        avoid extending your neck – for example, while reaching up to a high shelf
        move your head carefully and slowly during daily activities
        do exercises that trigger your vertigo, so your brain gets used to it and reduces the symptoms (do these only after making sure you won't fall, and have support if needed)
