How It Feels
You may feel weak, dizzy, or nauseated
during an electronystagmogram. You may feel as if you are going to fall down
during the test, but don't worry—the doctor or audiologist will make sure you
do not fall. These feelings will go away when the test is done.
If you are having the test because you have dizziness or vertigo, you may find
that the test causes your condition to be worse for a short time.
During the caloric test, you may feel nauseous and may vomit. You may
need to lie down until the nausea and vomiting or vertigo pass.
