STOP THE SPINS
•• ----
eeling like the room is spinning can be scary, but many
people rush to the ERunnecessarily. Notonly is that
a hassle.it's expensive: Emergency room visits for
vertigo and lig(lt-headedness are projected to cost
54.4 billion by 2015, according to a new analysis led
by David Newman-Toker, M.D., Ph.D.,associate
professor of neurology at lohns Hopkins University
School of Medicine. As long as your symptoms are intermittent and
brought on by changes in head or body position, or a trigger in the
environment around you, the spins probably aren't serious. "But if
you also have double vision, weakness or numbness on one side,
trouble speaking or swallowing, or severe pain in your neck, you
should get help immediately," says Newman-Toker. (It could bea
stroke or dissection of a blood vessel to the brain.) Here are a few
common causes of dizziness, and howto find relief.
