Can driving cause vertigo?
Yesterday when I was driving, I had to pull over because everything was suddenly spinning. I decided to take a rest today before I drive again. Is it possible to get vertigo while driving?

That sounds like a scary experience! Driving can cause vertigo, especially when there are sudden irregular movements. However, your vertigo attack could be a symptom of Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD). This is a common eye problem caused by eye misalignment, especially if you regularly experience vertigo while driving.
Here are some things you can try to help alleviate your vertigo:
- Exercises for vertigo, including the Epley, Gufoni, Semont, and Zuma maneuvers.
- Lay down in a dark quiet room to rest
- Minimize any feelings of stress
- Stay hydrated
- Avoid drinking alcohol
If your symptoms persist, seek medical advice from your family doctor.
Suddenly feeling unwell while driving can be dangerous if you are surrounded by traffic. Having the right
car insurance
