Breathing + Head Movement 🌬️🧠
This combo pairs slow diaphragmatic breathing with gentle head turns to calm the nervous system while your balance system is being challenged. It’s especially helpful when dizziness is paired with anxiety, tension, or anticipatory fear.
Fun facts + important info:
🧠 Slow breathing tells your brain you’re safe, lowering threat response
↔️ Adding head turns retrains the vestibular system without ramping symptoms
⚡ This helps break the dizziness–anxiety feedback loop
⏱️ Inhale through the nose, long exhale through the mouth as you turn
Calm first. Move second. Let your system relearn safety.
