Prevention

Non Farmakologi
Depending on what's causing your vertigo, your GP or the specialist treating you may be able to
give you some self-help advice to relieve or prevent your symptoms. For example, this may
include:
sleeping with your head slightly raised on two or more pillows (Tidurlah dengan
posisi kepala yang agak tinggi)
getting up slowly when getting out of bed and sitting on the edge of the bed for a
minute or so before standing (Bangunlah secara perlahan dan duduk terlebih dahulu
sebelum kita berdiri dari tempat tidur)
avoiding bending down to pick up items (Hindari posisi membungkuk bila mengangkat
barang)
avoiding extending your neck for example, while reaching up to a high shelf
(Hindari posisi mendongakkan kepala, misalnya untuk mengambil suatu benda dari ketinggian)
moving your head carefully and slowly during daily activities, when your neck is
extended and when your head is positioned horizontally, such as when lying
flat(Gerakkan kepala secara hati-hati jika kepala dalam posisi datar (horisontal) atau bila leher
dalam posisi mendongak.)
menghindari kafein, berhenti merokok, membatasi asupan garam.

Farmakologi
Betahistine
Betahistine is a medicine that can help to prevent vertigo caused by Mnire's disease (a rare
disorder that affects the inner ear). Betahistine is thought to reduce the pressure of the fluid in
your inner ear, relieving the symptoms of Mnire's disease.
Research into betahistine hasn't found enough evidence to confirm whether it is effective.
However, your GP may suggest trying it.
Betahistine is usually available as tablets to be taken three times a day. Your GP will discuss
how long you need to take them for, which could be a few weeks or up to a year. Possible side
effects include:
headaches
an upset stomach
rashes
