How To Prepare
For 2 to 5 days before the test, you
will be asked to stop taking:
- Medicines that help your vertigo.
- .
- Drinks with alcohol.
- Foods that contain caffeine, such as coffee, tea, cola, and
chocolate.
Your doctor may ask you to eat a light meal or not eat for
3 to 4 hours before the test, because the test can cause nausea and
vomiting.
Do not wear facial makeup during the test so the
electrodes can attach to the skin.
If you normally wear glasses,
contact lens, or hearing aids, bring them to the test.
If you have
a neck or back problem, tell your doctor, so your neck and back will be
protected during the test.
