Dizziness gone – keeping the head straight!?

After successful treatment of Storage scams Often the question arises whether one should keep the head upright or sleep with several pillows.

The most important thing about these old recommendations:

• Outdated advice: 10 to 20 years ago, it was recommended to sleep with several pillows in the first night or even for 24 hours in a sitting position.
• No scientific evidence: There is no scientific evidence that increased sleep after successful treatment offers any added benefit.
• The recommended course of action: If the storage scam occurs after the Repositioning maneuvers If it is solved successfully, it is sufficient to keep the head upright for about half an hour. After that, you can put on your shoes normally again.
• Risk of anxiety behavior: Such strict requirements usually lead to unnecessary anxiety and avoidance behavior in everyday life.
• A clear no: The storage scam is gone. Act and behave as normal again; after half an hour, there’s nothing more to be concerned about.
