Feeling Dizzy: Understanding and Treating Vertigo, Dizziness, and Other Balance Disorders

Description

"Millions of people complain to their doctors each year about occasional or chronic feelings of wooziness, spinning, lack of balance, and fainting. In fact, dizziness is one of the most common symptoms reported to physicians. In this definitive book, Dr. Brian Blakley, M.D., Ph.D., and Mary-Ellen Siegel, M.S.W., offer up-to-date, straightforward explanations of all possible causes of dizziness - from Meniere's disease to diabetes, whiplash, or anxiety. Feeling Dizzy helps distinguish minor problems from more serious ailments and suggests when to seek medical advice. It also outlines preventive measures, self-treatment options - such as relaxation techniques, biofeedback, and exercise - and medical treatments from surgery and medication to therapy and rehabilitation." "The past ten years have brought great strides in understanding and treating inner-ear disorders and other causes of dizziness. With its clear and comprehensive explanations, Feeling Dizzy provides hope, understanding, and help to the millions of people who seek to bring their lives back into balance."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
