7 Everyday Habits That Make Dizziness Worse After 60 (And How to Fix Them)

  • Eat dinner earlier whenever possible.
  • Leave at least two hours between dinner and bedtime.
  • If you feel very sleepy after eating, take a short nap sitting up rather than lying down.

Mistake: Sitting for Hours Without Moving Your Neck or Shifting Your Gaze

“Doctor, I barely do anything — how could I get dizzy?” Precisely because of that.

After 60, the body tolerates long periods of stillness poorly, especially with the neck tilted slightly forward — the position most people fall into while watching TV, using a phone, or reading.

Here’s what happens:

  • The neck muscles tighten like a stiff rope.
  • Blood flow to the brain is reduced.
  • Position sensors in the neck send confusing signals to the balance system.

One patient described the sensation perfectly: “It’s like I have a brick inside my head.” She spent more than six hours a day in the same armchair, neck bent forward the entire time.

What to do:

  • Get up for at least 2 minutes every 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Roll your shoulders back and gently turn your neck side to side, looking out a window.
  • Avoid spending long stretches looking down at a phone, book, or task — raise whatever you’re using to eye level instead.
