Anyone with dizziness symptoms can benefit from the following safety precautions and coping strategies:

• Avoid sudden head movements.  Move and turn slowly while walking. 
• Focus on a stationary object while walking or whenever feeling dizzy.
• Wear shoes with hard soles and low heels.
• Avoid slippery or uneven surfaces when walking.
• Avoid area rugs and other objects that might be lying on the floor. 
• Avoid walking on uneven surfaces like grass, brick or cobblestones. 
• Use extra caution when walking on very soft carpets or lawns.
• Look forward and focus on the stripe in the center of the road while driving.
• Use handrails on stairways and handles on stepstools and ladders for stability.
• If your head shakes, stabilize your head with your hand when necessary.
• Wear your glasses or contact lenses as needed.
• Use long-handled reaching tools for high objects.
• Use a cane, walker, or other stationary object for stability.
• Install grab bars in bathrooms.  Sit on a shower stool if needed while bathing.
