Some symptoms associated with dizziness warrant prompt medical evaluation. This quiz cannot determine the cause of your symptoms. Please seek appropriate medical care before relying on an educational course to address these symptoms.
2.
Positional Dizziness & Vertigo
Image Source
Your answers suggest that movement or changes in position may be an important trigger for your dizziness. These symptoms are real, common, and there are vestibular rehabilitation strategies that can help improve your tolerance to movement.Your next route: My course titled Positional Dizziness & Vertigo will help you better understand these symptoms, identify your starting point, and begin a gradual exercise program designed to build your tolerance to movement and position changes.
3.
Episodic Vertigo
Image Source
Your answers suggest that your dizziness or vertigo may come and go in episodes. This pattern can be frustrating and unpredictable, but understanding your symptoms and learning how to manage your vestibular system between episodes can make a meaningful difference.Your next route: My course titled Episodic Vertigo will teach you about common causes and triggers of episodic vertigo and introduce foundational vestibular strategies for improving stability, motion tolerance, and recovery.
4.
Lightheadedness & Visual Sensitivity
Image Source
Your answers suggest that foggy-headedness, difficulty concentrating, or sensitivity to busy visual environments may be an important part of your dizziness. These symptoms are very real, and your brain can often become more tolerant of challenging visual and sensory input with gradual practice.Your next route: My course titled Lightheadedness & Visual Sensitivity will help you understand why this happens and teach you foundational exercises for gradually improving your visual and sensory tolerance.
5.
Disequillibrium
Image Source
Your answers suggest that feeling off-balance or unsteady is an important part of your dizziness. Balance relies on several sensory systems working together, and when that process is disrupted, everyday activities can suddenly feel much more difficult.Your next route: My course titled Disequilibrium will help you understand your balance system, measure your current abilities, and begin foundational balance exercises that can be progressed as you improve.
6.
Motion Sickness
Image Source
Your answers suggest that actual or perceived movement may be triggering nausea, dizziness, or discomfort. Motion sensitivity is a real response from your sensory system. With appropriately graded exposure, your brain can often become more tolerant of movement.Your next route: My course titled Motion Sickness will help you identify your current level of motion sensitivity and teach you progressive exercises designed to gradually build your tolerance.
7.
Anxiety and Fear Avoidance
Image Source
Your answers suggest that dizziness (or fear of becoming dizzy) may be changing what you do. Avoiding activities can feel protective in the moment, but over time it can make your world smaller and make movement feel even more threatening.Your next route: My course titled Anxiety & Fear Avoidance will help you understand the dizziness-fear-avoidance cycle and introduce gradual strategies for rebuilding confidence in activities you've been avoiding.
