Dizziness is one of the most unexplained and under-treated symptoms in healthcare today. If you experience dizziness or vertigo, your healthcare provider will first rule out a cardiac or neurological emergency. If you are cleared, and I certainly hope you are, then you will enter the maze of the traditional healthcare system. The next steps will more than likely include referrals to other specialists and medications to help with your symptoms. And so, your journey begins. You will be thrust into what I call "Navigating the Healthcare System." This is a daunting task and is not for the faint at heart. I know. I have been there. Long before I began my studies in physical therapy, I suffered from chronic, recurrent spells of dizziness and vertigo. After years of searching for answers about my condition, I was able to solve my own complicated case. Thankfully, I had learned that the key to properly diagnosing and effectively treating dizziness and vertigo is root cause evaluation. Lack of root cause evaluation can delay your recovery for months to years, and leaves many cases unsolved. My treatment is based in San Diego, California, USA, and many patients have traveled here from all over the world to receive my help in person. Yet, I daily receive queries from patients worldwide who cannot travel here for my care. Because of the overwhelming number of requests I receive every day from people outside my service area and my mission to help dizzy patients regain some normalcy, I have written this book as a guide to help you or your loved one learn how to find proper care and the correct treatment plan, with or without an accurate diagnosis. You will: Learn how to clearly report your symptoms to better communicate with your doctor Understand the importance of root cause evaluation and how to identify your triggers Realize the most common drugs prescribed for dizziness and vertigo can cause dizziness as a medication side effect Discover the most common vestibular cause of dizziness while looking up, lying down, and rolling over and what to do about it Review tips on day-to-day living with an invisible illness and ways to prepare for traveling Essentially, you will be asked to put on a sleuth-like hat and become a Vertigo Detective. With some education and solid guidance, I believe you can learn how to properly navigate the healthcare system to achieve the best possible outcome for your case. I want to help you get your life back!

Navigating the Cultures of Health Care and Health Insurance
What are the barriers preventing migrants from accessing and successfully utilizing health care in their new home country? Do these barriers vary across different migrant origin countries? And are they still a problem for highly skilled migrants, who often have well-paid jobs and health insurance provided by their employers? Based on field research conducted in the Washington D.C. area, Navigating the Cultures of Health Care and Health Insurance takes a mixed methods, qualitative and quantitative approach to the study of foreign patients’ utilization and assessment of health care in the US. Through interviews with both health care providers and patients, attitudes towards US health insurance and medical treatment are compared for migrants from three countries with very different cultural backgrounds and health insurance systems: Germany, India and Japan. Combined with an in-depth literature review, historical and contemporary surveys of health care across countries and analysis of health-related terms in the media, the results of this research indicate that foreign patients’ barriers to good health care persist despite access to health care services and insurance coverage, and reveal recurring transnational care seeking patterns, such as bringing medicines from abroad, delaying treatment for medical visits, insurance juggling and more. By describing their difficulties in integrating into the US health care system, the migrants in this study show the challenges and the potential for improvements in providing the care that migrants need in their new home.
