Dizziness

Tips from survivors: “I move slowly and give my body time to adjust before taking the next step.”

A sensation of lightheadedness, unsteadiness, or feeling off-balance.

Feeling like you might faint, the room is spinning (vertigo), or difficulty staying steady when standing or walking.

Stroke can affect the brain’s balance systems, including the cerebellum and vestibular pathways.

Vestibular therapy, slow position changes, hydration, and using support when standing or walking.
