Sit or lie down. Your body is having a hard time focusing and probably feels off-balance. Staying put will help your body relax and catch its balance, so to speak.

2
Take deep, slow breaths. Getting oxygen to circulate throughout your body is one of the easiest ways to lose that uncomfortable merry-go-round feeling.

Focus your eyes on an inanimate object. This will help your body regain its equilibrium, and it also will help distract you from feeling dizzy, faint or nauseous.

4
Move slowly, and don't make sudden turns or moves. Rapid motion can cause a drop in your blood pressure, a common cause for the dizziness in the first place.

5
Evaluate the things you're consuming, including food, beverages and medicine. Drinks that contain caffeine and alcohol are known to cause dizziness. Some medications also might be the cause, so speak to your doctor if you suspect the problem lies there.
