Good to know:
Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of cognitive decline can reduce driving ability. It’s best to discuss the topic openly with a primary care doctor. Simple tests exist to evaluate reflexes and concentration.
3. Heart and circulation: watch out for sudden episodes of dizziness
A brief dizzy spell… happening while driving? Some cardiovascular issues, such as arrhythmias or high blood pressure, can cause dizziness, shortness of breath, or even fainting.
What helps:
Regular check-ups, a healthy lifestyle, and proper treatments. And most importantly: listening to your body. If you’re not feeling 100%, leave the car in the garage — without guilt.
