Sometimes vertigo attacks can be so severe that sufferers could not achieve vertigo relief in Vancouver by themselves. So, if you find yourself in a situation where someone is going through a vertigo attack, this basic guide is for you. 

Call a healthcare provider

Call any professional emergency responder when you see someone suffering from a severe vertigo episode. An emergency call is needed when the person has the following symptoms:

• Loss of consciousness
• Inability to stand or walk
• Head injury
• Sudden changes in hearing, speech, and vision
• Seizures 
• Fever

Be sure to have the person rest. See to it that the person is avoiding any sudden changes in his body position. 

Keep the person safe

Vertigo attacks can be so dangerous that they may cause injury to someone. But there are ways to keep someone safe during a vertigo episode. Firstly, help that person from falling to the ground. Secondly, if they are throwing up, help them lie down gently on their side. Lastly, if they cannot walk or stand up safely, accompany them while waiting for an emergency team to arrive.
