How do I overcome vertigo while driving?

Is there a trick to help me overcome vertigo while I’m driving? I’ve been getting vertigo more often lately and I’m really worried it’ll happen when I’m driving. What should I do if it does?

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling with this! If you get vertigo while you’re driving, don’t try to overcome it and keep going. Instead, pull over as quickly as you can and lie down in the
back seat
until the dizziness passes.
If the dizzy spells don’t go away within a week or so, talk to a doctor about the problems you’ve been having. They may recommend medication to help combat the dizziness or therapy to help you overcome it. In extreme cases, doctors may even recommend surgery to stop your dizzy spells.
While you’re learning about vertigo, consider learning about your insurance options too. The
