Why avoiding them is the wrong way to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stress, lack of sleep, changes in the weather or overstimulation: people affected by <a href=\"https:\/\/ivrt.de\/en\/dizziness-disorders\/vestibular-migraine\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vestibular migraine<\/a> It is advised to avoid any potential triggers. However, the issue of triggers is controversial in the scientific community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How triggers really work and what helps instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Physical condition determines whether a stimulus triggers a vertigo attack: Your tolerance to stimuli depends greatly on your daily condition. With lack of sleep, dehydration, or stress, the threshold for irritation is significantly lower than in a rested, fit state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Typical influencing factors: hormonal fluctuations (menstruation), lack of sleep, weather changes or visual stimuli (cinema, concerts) can favor attacks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk of fear avoidance: Fearing dizziness and avoiding all stimuli severely limits quality of life and keeps the nervous system in a constant state of alert.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better strategy: Keep a migraine diary (duration, intensity, symptoms) to reflect patterns. Important to know: Many dizziness attacks occur completely without any recognizable trigger!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 Would you like to understand the triggers, criteria, and treatment approaches for vestibular migraine in detail?
