VNG Test
« on: April 22, 2010, 11:32:28 am »
Can anyone give me some information about a VNG test.  I have heard they last about 2 hours and can make you very dizzy.  I have been had some vertigo attacks and I am concerned that this test may cause one.  Any information would be great.

TJ,

I've never had a VNG test, so I can't speak with any authority on the subject of these tests, however I did find this link:  http://www.stopdizziness.com/services_vng.asp.  It claims that the patient only experiences "minor discomfort" during the tests...

Regards,
Brian

I never had a VNG test either, but the link Brian posted makes it sound not too bad.

Hope that's the truth.

Good luck,
