Dizzy And Loss Of Balance

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
West Covina, CA

I have (spells) or episodes that I go through where I feel shaky,loopy, and way off balance. I try to work through it, but the more off balanced I get. Does anyone know what is causing this and am I the only going through this?

Vertigo is a common of MS. I take Meclizine (Antivert) when I get a particularly bad episode. Dehydration which also causes blood pressure to tank will do that too. I’ve learned to:

stay well hydrated (to the point I’m not thirsty or have a headache)

No rapid turns or bending

Check my blood pressure (know your normal level)

No games or visual cues that will make me dizzy

It could be a sign that you may be "over-doing" what your body wants which is to "rest". I find taking breaks can help. Now to get the motivation to start again is another topic.🙃
