Epley Maneuver to Treat BPPV Vertigo 

@Fauquier ENT Doctor please tell why my bppv vertigo disappeared suddenly after 8-10 days then came after 50-60 days..... I got around 5 march to 15 march 22 and now I m suffering from last 3 days.... First time it happened in December ending, I did this exercise u showed in this video... in first time exercise my eyes were spinning a lot and I got relief after this exercise But now in march and in may , I have less vertigo but still vertigo happens and didn't go after doing this exercise..... Please tell what should I do.... Is it viral infection in ear and to see ent specialist or due to some head related problem to see neurologist???? Please help

@@lovelyvermaa88 to g

So I did the right side already(because my first affected ear was my right ear); I still have vertigo, but now it is in my left ear. Do I do the right side Epley, or left side Epley?

I had the same i feel you.

@@KRISHNA-dw6lt if it is BPPV you can eat a whole tray of lemon and a bucket full of sugar but it wont work. And never eat that much just kidding. BPPV is something else it wont work with 🍋 🍬 Edit: with it = yes without it also yes ;)

How many times did you have to repeat the procedure before it cured ?

@@famalamsattar7864 after 5

@@MrCS-81 ok thanks , I am suffering really badly from this . Over how many days did you do this or was it 5 procedures all togther .

Did it come back again or it actually went away?

@@irianahernandez3532 I mean the first time I did it I was completely debilitated so I was willing to do anything. I did the maneuver 2-3 times and it definitely was a crystal that was in the canal because it resolved it. But I had been so disoriented it took a good nights sleep and a day to feel back to normal. It happened again several years later and then just last week. I think this last was was a crystal combined with allergies and increased pressure because this was a little different than the first 2 events. In fact when I laid back to begin the maneuver I immediately threw up. I say all that because it did come back again down the road (my assumption is because now I have an assortment of crystal’s that have been broken off that can become dislodged) BUT it did absolutely fix the problem.

Krishna Reddy sir, doctor said I'm suffering from menieres disease.. he gave Betavert tablets but their is no cure

Could you by chance let me know how much time one should wait before trying the manoeuver a second time, in case the 1st time didnt work ? Can it be done again the next day ? Or need to wait more ?~

@@smile2life929 You can repeat the maneuver right away, there's no need to wait. If you're sure you did it right and it didn't work, then lie back down and repeat it IN THE OPPOSITE direction. Understand that this is a treatment, not a cure. Many people who self-treat for BPPV (like myself) have to do this once or twice a month. Stimulants like caffeine amplify the vertigo effect so reducing the amount of coffee and sodas will help too. Good luck!

@@karmatik9626 thank u so much for your reply and advice!~ :)

After dis is performed,pl tell us how to sleep bcoz i have been suffering from dis for the past 4 yrs, is der any permanent cure

Did you feel unstable after epley manuever

Does it come again

@@renukaraj5022 se voutar faça novamente ,viva normalmente com deus no coração .

Hola ! Qué hiciste para que desapareciera el vértigo,,? Gracias

@@tuspasmene2072 yes you do if crystals are not totally out but should be repeated more then 3 it means you are not doing right

Hey mate im nervous to try this does this actually work i have mild vertigo

five years???? oh my god that's horrible! I'm on day 4 of having severe vertigo and I'm already dying. how did you survive?

@high mountain I woke up in the middle of the night and the world was going full speed. Now its not as bad but I get bad spells. I'm probably going to go to an ear nose and throat specialist. The dizziness medication isnt doing a thing.

@Auggies1956 just wondering if you are still cured from this or do you have it happening again?

Did the maneuver work immediately?

@high mountain mine ended being my vestibular system all messed up not bppv but I didn't have a cold or sinus infection to jumpstart it I'm still confused

bonjour

Hello..how many time should i try this in a day? I tried it once but still suffering from the vertigo.

Gra Piken you 79

Excellent video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you thought about - Schallingora Automatically Update Scheme (probably on Google)? It is a smashing exclusive product for getting rid of virtigo without the headache without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my cooworker after many years got astronomical results with it.

@@gemina5053 ffff

@eminpaiz…, 😵‍💫 Is your vertigo still gone?

Exactly what I thought, perfect instructional video 👍

Where should you start with, towards the ear which is infected or away from the infected part?

This looks easy but when you're spinning out of control its very hard to stay calm and keep the positions

@@jefftucker9225 That's why you need someone to help you. It's hard to do your own timing, too.

Posso fazer em casa com ajuda de familiar

@@jefftucker9225 I 100% agree, I just tried it, and its TERRIBLE!!

*I am also a victim of vertigo, I sympathize with those who have to endure this pain. Vertigo is hell!*

Working with vertigo is not fun

hi linda. i am also suffering from vertigo bppv. can u please temme that after doing epley maneuver, vertigo bppv come back or not. or cured or not? plz reply I'm in very much depression 😒

It became 8th year today guys i cant take it

@@namesand506 im so sorry:( ive been dizzy for only a week now on my second time going through this.

@@builderman912 god bless you

Sitting on my bed I slumped over into my pillow and immediately began feeling a dizzy sensation. For the next 24 hours I stayed in bed then was fine. This video shows exactly what happened and how to cure it next time. Excellent video. Thank you.

*God bless you*

...yes...and also the fact that you have to hold it for a long time..and the angles needed (with explanation) not just "turn your head left/right".... But does it make any difference if you're spinning to the left or right... I mean, if it fixes the crystals in one direction, does that screw it up for the other ear? How do you know which orientation to do it in?

Simone Roncali actually if you are diagnosed which bppv this is only treatment. It has 80% cure rate in first try. Some may need more try if failed. Problem with self treatment is not every vertigo is cause by this. You have to do hallpike maneuver to check for latency, duration, fatigue, direction to differentiate from central vertigo. This was educational video for medical students.

Simone Roncali how many times you do this exercise???

How many times did you do this

@@peppersausage19 I did it twice just to be sure, but I think the first already solved the problem

@@darrenluzong8028 apologies, I just saw this now, I did it twice

Exactly, it shoud be in the description of this movie

I don't understand what you're saying, please tell me clearly, im suffering from BBPV on a high level of vertigo and dizziness.😢

@@simrazahid5050 he’s saying that you should initially find which ear is effected , then you must start the manevuer from the side of that ear.

+Fidel Castaneda That's Great!

Never

It really work ? Because my mom suffering this dizziness from 10 year How many time do in a day

Joseph Masterson I wonder if this actually works I’ve been suffering from this for abt 4-5 months i feel like ima fall it’s crazy and horrible

@@lightskinned2629 Try holding each position much longer. Please see my earlier reply which describes this - I posted about a year ago. Good luck!

Some people are just trolls. xD

They are probably Chiropractors! How dare someone fix the problem on their own!

@@kritspoherson Chiropractors are taught this maneuver in chiropractic school, as part of there 3 year training including 4 national board exams. You must have had a bad experience. I personally really like the visual.. trying to visualize the canals has always been hard. Thanks for posting the video.

Cause of crystal moves that makes people dizzy n spinning seanstion too ?

hi what kind of dizziness was it? I have chronic lightheaded dizziness and faint type feeling fatigue all day every day for a year. Idk if its this or not . doctors don't help

@@Hadad-ln9ww In my case, I experienced waking up (I didn't know what the hell I did when I was asleep) not being able to stand up because each and every time I would move, my head spins and I would fall down of dizziness while holding my head. I wasn't able to go to school and decided to miss a quiz. I was just lying all day at the same position because If I did move, my world would rotate 360°. I legit feel like my eyeballs were rotating on its own and they really were omg it sucks like hell. I couldn't even eat if my mom wouldn't help me or pee or whatever activities because of severe dizziness. I stumbled into this while searching on how to relieve this shit and so I did everything it says and I'm forever thankful. This is what dizziness I felt like hope this helps. 😊😊

@@SakiChan1209 wow thanks for the response glad ur okay

@@Hadad-ln9ww You're welcome. I hope you'll be alright too. 😊

@@SakiChan1209 I'm just suffering vertigo while I'm lying down and move my head to the left. Everything is rotating and I feel so weak. But when I'm standing or sitting, everything is back to normal.

Do you still have any imbalance, tinnitus, dizziness or dizziness?

How many times did you do exercises?

@@user-mf9rt2vl6u I dit it for two times and it was gone.

How u doing all still good 2 yrs later?

3?

Just found out about this home treatment after 3 weeks of this. No advice from doctor. First day and already getting better. Thank you.

Actually, ours did, but it was a printout she gave us. So good to have a video. At least she gave us the advice of WHEN to do mitigating exercises, as my husband's dizziness was pretty bad. from Perth, Western Australia.

+Karen Starks I am hopeful and am going to try it as well.

I'm 100% free from the vertigo curse and nothing has worked better for me than going on a gluten free diet.

+Shaolin Westerner what are the Gluten free diets. please list them.

It's easy. Stop eating bread (in fact, don't eat anything made from wheat - check label to make sure it's not an ingredient either), don't eat barley, don't eat rye and don't eat oats. Instead, eat rice, quinoa, potatoes, and yams. Gluten-free pasta is ok as well as Gluten-free bread but never buy oats, even if it says Gluten-free.

Calcium deficiency maybe

How bad was your vertigo and which position worked for you please?

Hi Minnie. I had my first instance of vertigo about a year ago. That was quite bad. It persisted a couple of days and I was always hit by dizziness and instability whenever I stood up and walked. When I lay on bed, the room would rotate round and round in full 360 degrees -- the sensation was nothing short of physical and visual. Sometimes, I would just fall flat on the mat or bed due to lack of balance. Thankfully, I found this video on the Epley maneuver. tried the it three times with increasing degrees of exactitude, and suddenly, the vertigo disappeared and I could function well again. Re your question about which position.... The Epley maneuver is not just one position but a short series of four or so positions that should be done in the proper sequence, as demonstrated in the above video. You have to do the positions in sequence because that's how the dislodged "crystals" in the ear canal are eased back to where they should normally be. The Epley maneuver takes less than five minutes and very easy to do. The hardest part, which isn't really that hard, is trying to remember which position follows which and how long or short to hold it before going on to the next position. If I'm right, the vertigo occurred after I would do my daily yoga shoulder stand and rise up on my feet too fast. The second instance of vertigo was about two weeks ago. This time, it was not as severe. There was no room rotation, but dizziness and instability when getting up and walking. The vertigo didn't last that long because I already knew to go to this video and review the Epley maneuver. I did it a couple of times and it worked right away. I avoided doing the shoulder stand the next day but am now back to doing one of my favorite yoga positions every morning and every night before retiring. There are a number of videos on the Epley maneuver on RU-vid but I believe this one posted by Fauquier is clearest one... both on how it's done and in explaining the scientific reason why the maneuver works. But looking at some other videos can also help commit it to your short term memory as needed for doing the positions in sequence. Of course there are several causes of vertigo. But displaced ear crystals (BBPV, short for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) is one of the most common causes, and this is where the Epley maneuver would work. Hope this helps.

А у меня- левое ухо- все наоборот делать?

Hi Sara, can I ask what triggers this for you? thxs

Ezequiel Delgado hello, I saw this notification on my phone so I am able to respond quickly. If you mean what triggers the vertigo, nothing. I usually experience it randomly. This maneuver seems to be the only thing that helps it! I do suffer from sinusitis, but I don’t get many symptoms besides the vertigo and without warning

@@Geminirock6186 how do you go through the dizziness? I just cant and i'll also vomit doing this, this whole situation is making me more sick

How do you handle your anxiety when you’re going through the manover?

Did you ever get dizzy again? Did the vertigo come back?

You should wait between each position until the dizziness goes away

@@anaidadartse6194 mine hasn't, no

@@SwastikaBhardwaj Strangely enough when I made the "maneuver" - turning right, turning left, it wouldn´t make me dizzy. Not until I was sitting upright again - then I feelt very dizzy and nauseous

@@sukhmaidickoff That means it didn't work properly. Try doing it again, with pauses between each step. The sequence is 45° towards affected ear, the 90° towards good ear, 90° again towards good ear, then up and head tilt down.

How many times this manoeuvre needs to be done and for how many days please?

+Calchick7 I'm in the same position. Spent a lot of time searching and got sent home with a "rest it out". Hasn't gone away so I had to do something myself. Glad it worked for you, I hope to get it right eventually.

watch this other video

+Calchick7 The hospital made a lot of bucks on you.

WachdByBigBrother :(

i chewed out my grubbing Doc on this--Dr Epley was mistreated by his fellow Docs when he discovered the manuever---typical

Thankyou.

Hello~ Thank you for the helpful advice here~ By chance, would you know the answer to this question : if this doesnt work rhe first time, how long should i wait until trying the epley exercise once again ?~

@@smile2life929 You should stay at it for several months and not lose hope. It wouldn’t work for several weeks or months. Then suddenly, one day it will work and everything will immediately be fine.

@@HarmanHundal01 Thank you very much for your answer~ How many times a day / or how many times a week should the manoeuver be done ? How many hours/or days between each sequence ?

You can do it twice a day

It is really worked ?

Did your vetigo came back again?

Hello, i have went to see a doctor and the doctor diagnosed my condition as BPPV. I am writing this to you hoping that you can give me some help. So when i move around, i still feel slight unbalance especially when i move my head. Its been 5 days and i have tried doing this exercises twice (interval of 2 days) but i did not see my world spinning at all. Now, when i look downwards my head hurts a little but its not spinning nor i feel any dizziness, also i feel more fatigue and hard to concentrate. When i sleep i move my head and body to the other side but its always the movement that is feeling strange to me, like i am over sensitive when i am turning coz i can feel the blood(?) flowing? its just really strange feeling but i am not seeing my world spinning. Please give me some guidance thank you so much

Since i was 16 im dealing with vertigo. I had at that time otitis media inner infection that make me.feel somehow like u expressed. Its recommended to be checkdd up by Specialist in face nose and throat. Otorrhinolaringology. Because might be other disordees associated with the ear. I remember tjey did several years ago a Ct scan from ears to se if i had injury inside. But nope. Just the ear infection.

I desperate for help I've had the condition for a few years now I've just had major stomach surgery and the Labrinthitis is back with a vengeance I feel so Ill cant stand the headaches and dizziness I have no Quality of life the medication I've had off my G P dosent work . In desperate for help thank u for all your comments x

If performed correctly, 80% of patients suffering from BPPV only needs to perform it one time for resolution.

How are you after 2 weeks. 100%?

Awesome!!! Update??

@@bluecollarusa5396 I was experiencing dizziness on and off for about three weeks and it just tapered off where I don’t have any symptoms at the moment.

Hello. So I did the epley manuever today but still feel vertigo. Are you saying it might take until tomorrow for me to start feeling better? Could you please explain how things worked out for you?

I agree. It explains as well as shows how to treat.

Hi Aristotle Did you do it from right to left and then left to right?

@@barryrichardson8513 sorry I didn’t see this until now. I don’t think it matters. If you get the direction correct you are done. If not try the other direction. The maneuver cannot create a problem done either way - even if you didn’t need to do it to begin with.

Did you all have eye twitching? Thanks

Great to know that!

Please how do I solve this because my eyes are twisting and I feel like a drunk person

Same here. Very bad ear infection after 8 hour flight to Europe. Ear canal filled with pus and painful. Dr in germany drained it but started having BPPV after that. It only happens when i lean my head back.

@@gfriedman99 these fucking doctors don't realize it's from an infection. every time I'm around sick people I get vertigo
