Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Finding your balance, Part 2: Treating dizziness and vertigo
Q: How do you help people regain confidence in their balance and overcome fear, even if they are still having symptoms?
Clayton recommends evaluation to reduce uncertainty, beginning movement gradually in a safe setting, and working with someone who can help manage symptoms and fall risk.
Finding your balance, Part 2: Treating dizziness and vertigo
Q: What causes of dizziness are treatable, and what requires more long-term management?
BPPV is often treated quickly with the Epley maneuver or another repositioning maneuver, while other balance problems may benefit from vestibular rehabilitation to help the brain adapt to changed or reduced sensory information.
Finding your balance, Part 1: Understanding dizziness and vertigo
Q: How can someone recognize the symptoms of BPPV versus other causes of dizziness and vertigo? What's the classic feature there?
BPPV is generally triggered by a position change, causes a sensation of motion such as spinning or rocking, and usually resolves within about 30 to 60 seconds. Symptoms can recur if the triggering movement is repeated.
Finding your balance, Part 1: Understanding dizziness and vertigo
Q: So when a patient says that they are dizzy, what sensations are they describing?
Clayton groups dizziness into vertigo, lightheadedness or presyncope, disequilibrium, and sensations that can cross categories. Vertigo specifically means a false sensation of movement.
Understanding thyroid disease in older adults
Q: When it comes to treatment, when do you decide when thyroid abnormalities need treatment versus just more routine monitoring?
Hyperthyroidism generally requires treatment, while mild TSH elevation in older adults may be monitored if typical symptoms are absent. Significant elevation and symptoms can warrant levothyroxine, and repeat testing can help confirm an abnormal result.
