Chronic Dizziness
Chronic dizziness is a frustrating, persistent disorder that can significantly interfere with normal daily activities and prevent people from being able to do the things they want to do. Chronic dizziness can take a few different forms, depending on what the precipitating event was, the physical and psychological contributions to the disorder, and the symptoms that are experienced.
Chronic dizziness is often initiated by a precipitating medical event. For example, an inner ear infection called labyrinthitis can cause dizziness/vertigo that lasts for several weeks, but typically resolves fully. However, some people continue to experience persistent, fluctuating labyrinthitis symptoms, including dizziness (but not vertigo) and increased sensitivity to complex visual stimuli (e.g. driving in the rain, complicated patterns), that are made worse by passive and active movements (e.g. riding in a car and walking, respectively).
To meet criteria for chronic dizziness, symptoms must be present more days than not for at least 3 months. Most people have symptoms for several hours every day. In addition, the disorder must cause significant functional impairment or distress. Triggers usually include an upright posture (standing or walking) and moving visual stimuli.
Chronic dizziness is frequently associated with an anxiety disorder that worsens symptom severity. Common symptoms of an anxiety disorder include excessive worrying about life events, loss of ability to carry out routine tasks, and anticipatory anxiety in advance of a situation that may cause dizziness. People who are anxious about becoming dizzy actually increase their risk for a dizzy spell.
Dizziness
Before we get into a discussion on chronic dizziness, lets briefly review dizziness types and mechanisms.
Dizziness is an umbrella term that includes the following subtypes:

Vertigo:A spinning or tilting sensation; a sense of motion when youre not moving
Presyncope:Feeling like you are going to faint (fainting is called syncope); also called lightheadedness or giddiness
Disequilibrium:A sense of imbalance or instability, often experienced when you are walking

The vestibular system is an important balance organ, and when it isnt working properly, you will feel dizzy. Consequently, dizziness is sometimes called a vestibular symptom, and disorders that cause dizziness are known as vestibular disorders.
Vestibular disorders can be caused by structural (anatomical), functional (physiological), or psychiatric (particularly anxiety) abnormalities.
Structural and functional vestibular disorders are initially acute or episodic, but they can both transition to a chronic state. Psychiatric vestibular disorders are not considered to be acute or episodic, rather, they are chronic, progressive conditions.
Chronic dizziness treatment
The most effective treatment approaches to chronic dizziness emphasize a holistic approach that addresses both physical and psychological aspects of the disorder. In many cases, people with chronic dizziness have seen several doctors in a variety of specialties without ever being accurately diagnosed, and the standard dizziness treatments they are given are often ineffective. Many people who have unsuccessfully tried medications find that physical therapy is a more effective treatment strategy.
When treating chronic dizziness, it is important to understand what caused it and what contributes to it. For example, one person may have had an acute case of vestibular neuritis that transitioned into chronic dizziness without anxiety, while someone else may have a psychiatric vestibular disorder with high anxiety and panic attacks. Treatment plans for these people may look very different. Treatments should be tailored to suit the specific needs of each patient.
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is the gold standard in treating structural dizziness. VRT is an exercise-based physical therapy program that can alleviate symptoms associated with many forms of chronic dizziness.
VRT leads to significant improvements in vertigo symptoms, fall risk, posture and balance, and overall emotional status in people who have vestibular forms of dizziness (i.e. inner ear dysfunction). One recent study found that 79% of VRT patients reported subjective improvements in their chronic dizziness symptoms.
VRT is has also successfully helped people with mild forms of psychiatric vestibular disorders, although more serious cases may be better treated by combining VRT with behavioral therapy and, if necessary, medications.
Importantly, maximum efficacy requires a commitment from the person being treated. People who are less than 75% compliant with their physical therapy regimen have poorer outcomes than people who are fully compliant.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most successful behavioral therapies for helping people manage chronic dizziness that has a significant psychological component. CBT identifies negative thought patterns and replaces them with positive ones. Over time, this can significantly reduce chronic dizziness symptoms and improve mood and outlook.
Chronic dizziness that has a structural origin (e.g. peripheral vestibular system disorder) or a functional origin (e.g. vestibular neuritis) may respond well to CBT, but physical therapy should also be used to address the physical aspects of the disorder.
Medications
Depending on the cause of your chronic dizziness, some medications may help you manage the symptoms:

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are antidepressants that can be very helpful for people who have psychiatric vestibular disorders or anxiety with dizziness.
Benzodiazepines are prescription anti-anxiety drugs that can reduce dizziness and anxiety, but they are for short term, intermittent use only, as they are associated with a high risk for developing physical and psychological dependence/addiction.
If your chronic dizziness is related to vestibular migraine, anti-migraine drugs may reduce symptom severity and duration.
Nausea and vomiting can be treated with prescription antihistamines or anticholinergics.

Although medications have their place in treating anxiety and dizziness disorders, in many cases physical therapy and behavioral therapy are as (or more) effective than pharmacological treatment options.
Central nervous system therapies
Until recently, it was thought that chronic dizziness was the result of impaired compensation after an injury. Compensation is the process of recovering normal function through central and peripheral nervous system reorganization; in other words, your nervous system adapts to overcome damages associated with the injury. Recent evidence suggests that the recovery process is even more complex and includes changes in the way the brain integrates and processes spatial information. If this is proven to be true, it suggests that a peripheral nervous system disorder can have long-term functional consequences in the central nervous system.
Treatment options that target the central nervous system are currently being tested, with some promising preliminary results. Transcranial cerebellar direct current stimulation (tcDCS) was shown to enhance the benefits that physical therapy provides, and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment was shown to reduce the frequency and severity of dizziness spells.
Chronic dizziness and lightheadedness
Lightheadedness, also known as presyncope, is the feeling that you are about to pass out. Chronic dizziness and lightheadedness may be experienced together, especially if a dysautonomia (a disorder of the autonomic nervous system) or a dysrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) is also present. Lightheadedness can also be caused by orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure) that occurs when you stand up too quickly.
Chronic dizziness and headaches
Vestibular migraine is a chronic headache disorder that often includes dizziness or vertigo. Vestibular migraine is characterized by light sensitivity, imbalance, nausea/vomiting, ringing in one or both ears, spatial disorientation, and intolerance to moving visual stimuli.
Chronic subjective dizziness
Chronic subjective dizziness (CSD) is a unique type of chronic dizziness. It is a progressive disorder that is characterized by disequilibrium and hypersensitivity to complex visual stimuli. CSD is not caused by vestibular dysfunction, and dizziness is linear, rather than vertiginous. Unlike some types of dizziness that are obvious to observers, the dizziness associated with CSD is called subjective imbalance because even though the person with CSD feels imbalanced, they would not appear dizzy or off-balance to an observer.
Why some people develop CSD is not yet clear. Evidence suggests that both physical and psychological factors contribute to CSD, and many CSD symptoms are emotional or behavioral. CSD was originally thought to be a psychogenic disorder; that is, a disorder of the mind, without any physical contribution. We now know that there are psychological and physical components to CSD, but the majority of people ('60%) with CSD also have an anxiety disorder.
There are three types of CSD:

Otogenic CSD:Dizziness developed as a result of a temporary medical condition (e.g. vestibular neuritis) and there was no history of anxiety before the inciting event
Psychogenic CSD:Dizziness develops in the absence of an apparent physical cause and coincides with the course of an anxiety disorder
Interactive CSD:Dizziness developed after a transient medical condition in someone with a predisposition to, or a history of, anxiety disorders

In order to be diagnosed with CSD, the following diagnostic criteria must be met:

Persistent dizziness without vertigo
Hypersensitivity to ones own movement and the movement of objects in the environment
Symptoms of CSD are exacerbated by complex visual stimuli (e.g. driving in the rain, moving through a crowd)
Symptoms must be present for at least 3 months
No evidence of a vestibular disorder or another physical cause (e.g. brain lesion)
Balance function test results do not identify the patient as having impaired balance

Treatment options for CSD are similar to those for other types of chronic dizziness, including VRT and physical therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and medications.
Chronic dizziness and fatigue
Fatigue is a key trigger of dizziness. Usually, fatigue and dizziness are transient symptoms that resolve with rest, but there are some chronic conditions that include fatigue and dizziness.
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a condition that is characterized by overwhelming fatigue, even after a good nights sleep. In addition to dizziness, CFS symptoms include muscle pain, headaches, difficulty thinking or focusing, insomnia, rapid heart rate, and flu-like symptoms. The cause of CFS is unknown, but stress and anxiety may have a significant role in the development and persistence of CFS symptoms.
Postconcussional syndrome
Fatigue and chronic dizziness are common symptoms after head trauma or whiplash. Other common symptoms include irritability, mood swings, dysphoria, insomnia, weakness, headache, short term memory loss, and inability to focus. Postconcussional symptoms often resolve within a week or so, but they may persist for several weeks, depending on the severity of the trauma and the care received after the accident.
Other causes of dizziness and fatigue

Low blood pressure and low blood sugar are two common causes of dizziness and fatigue, but they are usually temporary conditions. However, unmanaged diabetes, malnutrition, anemia, and obstructive breathing disorders (e.g. sleep apnea, emphysema) can cause persistent dizziness and fatigue.
Vestibular migraine may also cause episodic fatigue and dizziness. Migraine frequency can vary from several attacks per year to near-daily attacks, and dizziness and fatigue may coincide with the migraine or may occur before or after the migraine.
Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is a poorly understood condition that is characterized by persistent physical symptoms (including dizziness and/or fatigue) that do not have an obvious medical explanation. People with SSD are preoccupied with their symptoms and find them to be very disruptive or distressing.

Dizziness and nausea
Dizziness and nausea are non-specific symptoms, meaning that there are multiple potential causes. Chronic dizziness is often associated with increased sensitivity to complex or moving visual stimuli, which can cause nausea and motion sickness, even if youre not moving. If you regularly suffer from dizziness and nausea, you may want to make an appointment with your doctor to learn about your options. There are several medications that may reduce the severity of your symptoms.
Importantly, dizziness or vertigo that is accompanied by ongoing vomiting could indicate a serious, even life-threatening medical issue, and you should seek medical treatment immediately.

How Non-Medical Home Care Companies Help Seniors with Meal Preparation

The Importance of Meal Preparation for SeniorsEating well is essential for seniors to stay healthy, maintain strength, and manage chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease. However, aging often brings challenges that interfere with regular eating habits: Limited mobility or arthritis can make it difficult to stand, chop, or lift cookware. Cognitive decline may cause a person to forget meals or how to safely use kitchen appliances. Loss of appetite or interest in cooking, especially when living alone. Dietary restrictions that require careful meal planning. With a little help, many seniors can continue enjoying nutritious meals that support their health and well-being. How Non-Medical Home Care Companies Help with Meal Prep1. Meal Planning and Grocery AssistanceCaregivers can help plan meals that are both nutritious and tailored to individual preferences and dietary needs.

Flipping the Script on Aging

When you think of an Older American, what image comes to mind? A parent or grandparent? A military veteran or grumpy neighbor? Or perhaps you just think of someone slow, weak or frail? As the leading advocate for seniors in our community, it our goal at Baker Senior Center Naples to flip the script on such age-related stereotypes. Our stated mission is to provide Confidence, Connection and Support to adults over the age of 60 and their families, helping them thrive and enjoy life to its fullest. We do this through a range of comprehensive programs and services. Established in 1963, Older Americans Month is celebrated annually to recognize and honor the many contributions and achievements of older adults across the United States and highlight their ongoing involvement in society. Led by the Administration for Community Living, it is a time to highlight important trends and strengthen our commitment to honoring our older citizens. It also is an opportunity to draw attention to activities benefitting seniors. The Administration for Community Living wisely chose their 2025 theme, Flip the Script on Aging, as a means of transforming societal perceptions and approaches to aging, encouraging active engagement and highlighting the many contributions of older adults.  This theme particularly resonates with our team as we have become acutely aware of these perceptions. Often, we hear visitors share similar comments as they walk into our building for the first time. Comments such as, Wow! This is not what I expected a senior center to be or This place is so bright and beautiful, or Everyone seems so active and happy.   After hearing these comments so frequently, I eventually began to ask, What did you expect? The responses were always the same, I expected it to be dark and dreary or I never expected it to be so big, bright and clean or I expected to see people sitting around and disengaged.  Those who have visited us know that our 30,000-square-foot building, which opened in 2023, is filled with light and brightly colored art and, most importantly, members and clients who are engaged and thrive through the many wellness programs we offer. We dispel the myths created about aging through the media that often portray seniors as frail, forgetful and depressed.  Of course, this is not surprising as age stereotypes have been ingrained in each of us. Even as little children we learn nursery rhymes like There was an old woman who lived in a shoe and This old man.  At Baker Senior Center Naples, we promote wellness and thriving in older adults through an average of 40 different programs each week that provide social engagement, physical activity, mental stimulation and cognitive support, which all lead to positive functioning and resilience.  We are one of just 111 senior centers in the United States accredited by the National Council on Aging, and the only one that provides comprehensive services by licensed and credentialed professionals such as mental health counseling, case management, dementia respite groups and caregiver support, all under one roof. We also offer a choice food pantry for those in need. We are proud that Baker Senior Center Naples is considered the central address in our community for older adults to meet and connect in a warm and nurturing environment.We invite you to visit us at 6200 Autumn Oaks Lane as we Flip the Script on Aging.  By Dr. Jaclynn Faffer President/CEO of Baker Senior Center Naples (Dr. Jaclynn Faffer is President/CEO of Baker Senior Center Naples, a nonprofit organization that provides comprehensive, one-stop-shop professional services and programs for older adults and their families.)  

The Medical Travel Secret That Could Save Your Family Thousands of Dollars

When families face the reality that their loved one needs medical travel or relocation, the choices often feel impossible. Traditional medical transport can cost upwards of $80,000 for air ambulance services, while attempting to transport your loved one without professional travel assistance puts vulnerable travelers at serious risk. But there is a new option many families are not yet aware of: specialized medical travel companions like GOMO Travel, who bridge the gap between expensive emergency transport and dangerous solo travel. By providing registered nurse travel companions, GOMO is able to facilitate journeys that prioritize both safety and dignity.The $70,000 Gap That Changes EverythingThe medical travel industry traditionally operates under extreme conditions. Emergency medical transport services like air ambulances treat every journey as life-or-death, with ICU-level equipment and astronomical costs. Meanwhile, families navigate complex travel logistics alone, often putting elderly or medically fragile loved ones in dangerous situations.However, GOMOs professional medical travel companions provide registered nurse-level care without emergency medical billing, typically costing $5,500 to $7,500 for domestic travel. Compared to a whopping $20,000 to $80,000+ for traditional medical transport, the benefits in savings alone are a no-brainer for most families on a budget.When Crisis Strikes and You Cant Be ThereWhen Hurricane Dorian threatened Florida in 2019, Keith from Cape Cod faced every familys nightmare: his mother was in a senior living center under mandatory evacuation orders, and he was hundreds of miles away. We were out of town when mandatory evacuations from Hurricane Dorian were imposed on my mothers senior living center in Florida. We called GOMO Travel and they swiftly and safely moved her out of harms way.This scenario highlights what happens when families cant be present during critical moments. Medical travel isnt just about transportationits ensuring the journey doesnt become a medical emergency. Perhaps thats why GOMO Travel has maintained a 5-Star rating since the companys founding.The Registered Nurse AdvantageNot all medical travel companions provide equal care and attention. While some services employ basic healthcare workers, GOMOs registered nurses bring training and insight that can prevent medical crises. RNs can assess situations, communicate with case managers & discharge planners, ease confusion for travelers with cognitive issues, and recognize early warning signs for others.Most importantly, RN-accompanied medical travel operates differently than emergency transport, allowing flexibility to customize travel around comfort and lifestyle needs while maintaining safety standards.Beyond Medical Necessity: Reclaiming Lifes MomentsTraditional medical transport only operates with documented medical necessity, excluding family gatherings, graduations, and bucket list experiences. Professional medical travel companions enable people with medical challenges to participate in meaningful moments without compromising safety.This flexibility extends to fully customizable itineraries and leisure travel extensions. The goal shifts from pure medical transport to enabling meaningful experiences with appropriate medical oversight.The Insurance RealityTraditional air ambulance services often require pre-approval and may bill patients for uncovered amounts. Professional medical travel services operate outside traditional medical billing, providing transparent, upfront pricing with no surprise bills. This model often results in significant savings, especially when insurance coverage is uncertain.Making the Right DecisionWhen evaluating medical travel options, ask yourself these critical questions:Does your loved one need emergency medical intervention or safe, comfortable travel support?Will the stress and complexity of the journey create additional medical complications?Are you prepared for potential delays, layovers, or unexpected situations during travel?Do you need flexibility for non-medical travel, like family events or leisure trips?Can you afford surprise medical bills that may arrive months after service?Professional medical travel services combine registered nurse expertise with concierge-level service and transparent pricing, creating the sweet spot between safety and affordability.Travel challenges dont have to end mobility and independence. With proper support, even complex medical situations can be managed safely and affordably, allowing families to focus on being together during lifes important moments.
