Dizziness or vertigo can persist even after the initial episode. To aid in recovery, it is important to keep moving the head through vestibular exercises focused on gaze stabilization.

These exercises aim to reconnect ear and visual information to maintain stable vision while moving. The recommended exercise involves placing an index card with a letter on the wall, slowly moving the head side to side in a horizontal path until the letter becomes blurry, and then slowing down to regain focus. Over time, one should be able to increase the speed while maintaining focus.

Additional exercises include moving the head up and down or using distracting backgrounds. These simple exercises can be done at home for a minute or two a few times a day, leading to significant improvement in reducing dizziness symptoms over time.
