Preparing for Your Vertigo Assessment

A little preparation can help the vertigo experts understand your symptoms and complete the required assessment efficiently.

Bring previous reports.

Carry previous hearing tests, vestibular reports, MRI/CT reports and prescriptions.

Bring your medicine list.

Bring a list or photo of current medicines; do not stop prescribed medication without advice.

Avoid eye makeup when advised.

Eye makeup can interfere with goggles used during eye-movement tests.

Wear comfortable clothing.

Some assessments involve standing, walking or controlled head and body movement.

Plan your return journey.

Assessments may temporarily reproduce dizziness; avoid driving and consider bringing a companion.

Do not take vestibular suppressant (vertigo medicine) before 6 hours.

These medicines can mask symptoms during tests.

When to seek urgent medical care

When Dizziness May Require Emergency Care

Most episodes of vertigo are not medical emergencies. However, sudden dizziness or vertigo should not be treated as a routine clinic concern when it occurs with:

Frequent dizziness

Feeling like the room is spinning

Losing balance while walking

Feeling dizzy when moving your head

Dizziness accompanied by nausea or vomiting

Seek urgent medical care or visit the nearest emergency department if these symptoms occur. Do not wait for a routine clinic appointment.
