Top 3 Signs Your Vertigo is BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)

> Dr. Christian Goodman, claims that squeezed nerves and lack of blood supply are the primary causes of vertigo and dizziness. With that in mind, he has provided exercises that increase blood flow into the upper region (brain, ears, and shoulder) and release stress from these squeezed nerves. >>See more details

Would like to connect with anyone who has experienced this. I had this and even though the literature suggests it isn’t so bad I for one have been SEVERELY traumatized by it. Would really like to talk to anybody who had this as a child.

Hello! I would like to ask a question. I fell on my head on the 30th of July. On the 2nd of August I spoke to a doctor on AmWell and he was able to verify that I have Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo on my right side using the Dix-Hallpike maneuver. He then recommended I do the Epley maneuver to help alleviate the symptoms. I was told that it can take up to 6 weeks to go away. If I still have episodes....granted they are a lot less severe....should I just continue to do what the doctor ordered? Or should I actually get it checked out.

Sorry to bother ya'll but its so hard to get actual answers without just being told go to the ER. Which is what Med Express told me to do....and that seems like a bit much.

Sometimes before i completely fall asleep, i would get this sensation that the world is spinning, if i interrupt this process, i then will wake up during sleep paralysis. I've done this maybe 10 times so i'm familiar with the feeling. I don't remember what happens when i don't interrupt it.. Maybe i slip into the dream state?

Does it have to do anything with astral projection?

I’ve been dealing with tinnitus off and on for a few years. In the past it has come and gone but since this past fall it has been pretty constant. 90% of the time I don’t notice it or think about it unless I’m in complete silence or exacerbate it (got louder after I drank)

However last night I woke up in the middle of the night and was extremely dizzy (things began to spin). I started to freak out thinking there was a gas leak in the house or carbon monoxide poisoning or something. But once I stood up and walked around it started to go away.

Fast forward to this morning and I was bending over on the floor and when I put my head down in a certain position the dizziness and spinning started again. Some googling came up with BPPV which seems to match my symptoms.

I do yoga everyday which can sometimes stretch my neck and shoulders so I’m wondering if it had anything to do with it or I just slept on my neck/ear awkward. Definitely the first time I’ve had the dizzy / vertigo symptoms.

So far I’ve yet to figure out the cause of my tinnitus but I suspect it stems from some combination of a tight jaw/neck, bruxism and clenching at night.

My question is has anyone else here experienced this dizziness/vertigo? If so did it subside on its own?

My neurologist gave me this exercise I am to do before bed and when I wake up, to eliminate the vertigo I've had sincey concussion 3 weeks ago. I am supposed to sit on the edge, in the middle of my bed & forcefully throw my body down to one side for 30 seconds or until I'm no longer dizzy. Then sit up for 30 seconds or until dizziness passes, then throw my body down rapidly on my other side, repeat procedure. For 20 minutes each time!

Has anyone successfully done this exercise? It's supposed to either habituate my brain to vertigo or by dislodging debris from the cupula of the posterior semicircular canal. I do have that debris, it feels like grains of sand.

I cannot do this exercise because it makes me so dizzy & nauseated, geezuz! Again, has anyone successfully used this technique or does anyone have something to suggest that isn't so sickening. Literally.

Male. 26. 5’10”. 138 lbs. History of GERD/Dyspepsia & BPPV. Currently taking robitussin & nexium 20 mg.

I’ve been dealing with BPPV for a few years now. Due most likely to many years in the ocean.

It usually comes out of nowhere and can last anywhere from a week to two weeks and then - after use of decongestants/antihistamines - it’ll go away which is nice.

My question is, is there something I can do to help prevent it from flaring up in the first place?Dietary changes? Exercise? Prophylactic medication? A better treatment option?

BPPV is not the worst thing in the world but it’s pretty damn annoying. I went and saw my PCP today & she said it didn’t look like I had an ear infection just looked like fluid behind the ear and other symptoms associated with BPPV.

Thank you.

Edit: spelling.

I just got back from the doctor and he attributed my symptoms to BPPV. I do not feel like this was an accurate diagnosis. It seems the symptoms of it are short lived and are prevalent with head movement/positioning. I have not had too much dizziness/vertigo (though a bit) but my primary symptom, and the most debilitating, is the mental fog that has been constant, all day, for the last two weeks. So my question to you is: Have you suffered from BPPV or know someone who has? Is the mental fog a main symptom of theirs? Anyone else experiencing mental fog last for long periods of time with a few isolated cases of vertigo?

I'll write more but I don't want to waste time typing because the likelihood of me getting a response to this post is nil.

Hello everyone.

I thought I asked this, since I've met so few with the same condition, (more info here) and I'd like to know other peoples' experiences.

My first case was on a normal day, I just shifted position on my chair and suddenly I felt like the whole world just went upside down. My horizon started to tilt to the right, and kept spinning more and more violently. Finally I couldn't stand up, and had to move on all fours. The nausea from the spinning hit pretty quickly, and I made it to the bathroom just in time - and spent two hours there unable to stand, vomiting, feeling like like I'm going to pass out any second. I couldn't even dial my phone properly since I couldn't focus on anything. Finally I got help there, and made it to the hospital. They did some really quick tests to verify it's not my heart that's causing problems, and finally determined that it's a really really ... reaaallly bad case of BPPV. They did the movement exercise on me and gave some drugs for the nausea. They gave me instructions what to do if it hits again and told me it's not dangerous, just really annoying and I need to stay alert if it hits again when I'm driving etc.

Since then, I've had around five more cases of it, some lenghty, some just a few seconds. What makes it worse is that the first experience was the worst I've ever had, and just the thought that I'd have to endure that again for hours makes me sick to the stomach everytime I feel even the slightest dizziness and that only makes it even worse.

Does anyone else suffer from this same ailment, and how have you coped with it?

So a few weeks ago I was having this weird vertigo feelings daily. When it didn't go away by itself I went to an ENT and he told me I had a Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo which is fancy doctor lingo for "you have a loose stone in your ear that is messing up your balance". I was telling my wife that I feel so old now since this is common in people over 60 (I'm in my 30s) and she laughed it off. We've been watching The Middle for the first time and just like 2 days later we watched Season 9 Ep 6 - The Setup where Pat Spence has the same thing!! Such a weird coincidence which also shows that I'm indeed old 😂🤣
