Suggestions to people above 50 years, and especially if you have problem of vertigo, i.e. getting 'chakkar', like getting giddiness; for this there could be one or more of the following reasons:
A, acidity, indigestion leading to stomach upset, and one would get nausea and then chakkar/vertigo, and you would get relief if the bad stuff comes out by the process of vomiting.
In a few cases if some nerves in the abdominal system are under pressure, then one can get mild vertigo.
B, One is affected by severe cold, and the fluid in the inner ears' semi-circular cannels has become thicker and does not move freely, and the tiny hairs in these cannels do not freely move and this gives feeling of dizziness, and the orientation is lost, and hence vertigo.
C, One has low BP, then if you suddenly get up or move away from the present stable postion, one might feel giddiness, and vertigo
D, Sugar in the blood has reduced and one would get dizziness and vertigo.
Best things to do in such situations, when you get some indication or to avoid such events:
1. Eat less oily, and less hot/spicy foods. Keep vomistop tablets handy.
2. Keep your head properly covered in severe winter with wollen cap.
3. Do not suddenly get up from the bed, and keep monitoring the BP, for low BP better to take some coffee.
4. Keep some sugar cubes, biscuits or the dates (khajur) with you.
Always keep vertin or vertigon tablets with you, and in most circumstances, it is better to just sit down on even the slightest indication of 'chakkar', or lie down on back, and take rest.
