Title: VNG Test
Post by: TJ 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 (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,

Jan

Thanks for the link and information.  My test is next week and I will let you know if it is easy as they say.
