3 Things to Do When Your Loved One is Dizzy 

· Geriatrics Care Planning

Hi,

When your loved one is dizzy, the first thing to remember is that they are likely sick. Many illnesses can cause dizziness, and it's not something you can diagnose on your own. However, by following these steps, you can help guide them toward a better outcome.

Firstly,make sure they are safe. There's no point in letting someone who is dizzy fall and break a bone. It complicates everything, so have them sit or lie down and keep a close watch. Some people can be impulsive and fall when they rush to the kitchen or bathroom, or they might simply be confused.

Next, ask them what they really mean by "dizzy." Sometimes dizziness can mean feeling off-balance, weak, or short of breath. One crucial symptom to watch for is if they feel like they might faint. If you hear any of these things, you might be unable to fix the problem yourself because they are all complex and require further investigation. However, there is one thing you can do to help your loved one immediately.

The final step is to determine if they are dehydrated. When was the last time they drank any fluids? Has the doctor prescribed a diuretic (water pill) to increase urination? If so, they might need a cup or two of water or another fluid (avoid coffee or tea, as these can act as diuretics too).

If you haven't already figured it out, they are sick and need medical attention. You can't diagnose this on your own or by searching the internet. Speak to their doctor or go to the ER ASAP.

Wishing you peace of mind,

Chidimma
