You suffer from a vestibular migraine and rapid head movements cause dizziness, and you have completely stopped exercising out of fear of new attacks? Exercise is a central component of a healthy lifestyle, and your brain can learn to adjust to it again!
This is how the gradual return to normal activity is achieved without overloading:
- Initial reactions are normal: Due to many head movements during sports, the nervous system may initially feel overstimulated; that doesn't mean you need to avoid sports!
- Low intensity & quiet environment: For example, start jogging with a low heart rate, choose a quiet route and train during times with little noise.
- Small time units instead of overworking: Start with just 15 minutes at the beginning and don't start right away with 45 to 60 minutes.
- The brain adapts: If you increase the duration and intensity gradually and in a controlled manner, the brain learns to process the movement patterns safely again.
- No fear-avoidance behavior: Anything that gives you pleasure should be something you do again in the long run, because the key lies solely in the right dosage!
