Ill save you ten minutes....the answer is Vitamin D w/ K2. The anount varies on age, weight ethnicity and location of living. Vitamin D will help lower free calcium in the body. The calcium is getting hung up in the ear effecting equilibrium....Your Welcome 😉
My husband suffered with debilitating vertigo for 20 years. One morning we were about to have our morning coffee and he said, “I don’t think I’m going to have coffee today because I start feeling bad after I drink it”. He did not experience any vertigo from that day since and it’s been about 1year. He found that any consumption of caffeine, whether it be tea, coffee, soda, would bring on the vertigo. I hope this helps someone, God bless❤
It could also be related to migraines. Vestibular Migraine and BPPV are very common. If you treat the migraine with diet , for instance, no caffeine, chocolate, ( Migraine diet)..and if needed a migraine prevention medication helps too. God bless anyone suffering with vertigo, it is horrible.
Vertigo is one of the most terrible feelings in this world. Thank you so much for addressing this problem, Dr. Berg. You are such a HUGE help to us all!
For 8 years I was in bed with vertigo that I describe as violent attacks (like a seizure) and or slow dizzy attacks that instantly made me sick for hours. 8 solid years of this to the point of literally praying I would die. Thousands of $$$$ to doctors who did NOTHING, NOTHING!!! They even treated me like a hypochondriac sometimes………this was throughout my entire 40’s, if I find out that a damn vitamin deficiency was causing this??? Someone is going to pay!!
…..moreover, my life was destroyed. I have never fully recovered socially or fully physically because I STILL have it just not nearly as horrible as before.
@@jefflanham1080 I am so sorry to hear of your experience. I lost time away from work because no doctor was able to diagnose my condition back when it first happened to me. The spin-off was horrendous in my work life, as a result. I believe going to the sea and being knocked around by the waves helped me to alleviate the terror of that feeling because I got relief. Later on, I learnt about vertigo and upon research, I realized that there are simple exercises (which I found on RU-vid) that could help to fix it quite easily, so far, when it occurs.
I'm doctor, 59 years,I suffered from vertigo and headache for many months, got my every test done including xray PNS, chest, CT head. Audiometry, Epily maneuver etc. My vitamin D was also normal. At last the cause of headache and vertigo turned out to be due to butter I was using in morning breakfast. Vertigo was quite severe. Food allergies should be considered for vertigo and headaches
My dear mother passed away three months ago. She had this problem for a few years. She saw many doctors but her problem never went away😢. Live long doctor Berg🙏. The world would have been much better if we had more doctors like you. God bless you❤️
I was told in the E.R in the U.S I had a psychotic episodes. I was stunned, they could make an assumption like this. They gave me psychotic drugs..well you can imagine I got worst and was sleepy all day. Went to Mexico and the doctor there aced it! Bening Vertigo. This happen right after I gave birth to my child. One really needs to advocate for one’s health and take more than one medical opinion ; specially in concerning health issues. Dr. Berg thanks for bringing awareness to this condition ❤
Absolutely! There’s a reason they call it practice. Many times they’re just making educated guesses, the operative word being guesses. Many times they’re too busy to take the time to find a definitive answer.
@@wenn-ll9bc Dr did not provide medication but said episodes will come and go but there was no worry. Extreme stress may trigger it but not daily stress. I find if you raise your head a bit with a pillow it actually helps. Vitamin D helps.
I suffered from this for 14 years it was so bad I had to go to a balance clinic. I suffered a constant sense of motion even when I wasn't spinny. The maneuver did not work. They told me this was my new normal. The episodes got worse the last 5 years ago. I had new neuro symptoms like constant falling, high stepping gate and no depth perception. Finally went to see a chiropractor. He said my Axis was off, the top vertebrae in your neck. He worked on me for 4 months and I started noticing my episodes had subsided, after a year my feeling of motion disappeared and for the last 4 years I am symptom free. I got more out of my chiropractor in a few years than I did all the specialist in 14 years. What a waste of that time. I am still going from time to time but I feel good and regained my confidence. Don't give up.
I have the same symptoms and dealing with it for 10 yrs now, visited the best ENT, neurologist, name it all the docs but nothing helped me,They suggested to take anxiety meds but I was not for it. Now I stumbled upon this video and gonna try vit D3 with k2
I did all this when I had vertigo. I saw another video and someone mentioned being Vitamin B12 deficient, an hour after taking 3 vitamin b12 pills all the vertigo feeling went away. Try taking vitamin b12, this may be your cause of vertigo. All the best!
Wow! I went to MD's, Neurologists and Chiropractors over the last 20 years for this. I get the answer from Dr Berg in a free video. I am very thankful that this man devotes his time and knowledge to help us. So many informative videos. The best channel on RU-vid, in my opinion.
I had dizziness so bad I didn't work or drive or do anything for a long time, I went to Drs and they never found anything wrong. But I was still very dizzy than one day I found a self help course on anxiety and learned that stress can cause dizziness, I started practicing all the advice In the course to lower my anxiety and the dizziness started slowly disappearing it's been completely gone for years now. Never underestimate the power of stress and the horrible physical body symptoms that it can cause
Thanks for your comment. I’ve been feeling like my body is veering off to the right? Is that vertigo? I feel disoriented. I also Quit alcohol which I think doesn’t help the situation.
I realized years ago that my vertigo occurred in winter & spring-not in the summer when I was outside in the sun. That’s when I started supplementing with higher doses of Vitamin D.
Good to know that. I hope the same happens with me. It has been two weeks I have started taking Vitamin D injection. There is improvement and reduction in vertigo but not fully cured.
I started getting random vertigo attacks several years ago and also became vitamin D deficient around the same time yet no doctors caught this. Thank you so much for this information! As everyone has agreed, this is a horrible thing to go through.
Dr.porue no hCr este vídeo en español? Sufro hace muchos años de vértigo y creMe este problema a aruiDo toda mi vida no llevo una vida normal no puedo hacer nada vivo sola y crrMe es desesperante
I got rid of years of vertigo by doing these exercises devised by Dr Carol Foster. Just google : half somersault exercises for vertigo. These exercises put the displaced ear crystals back to their places. My problem was with my left ear, so ONLY did the exercises for the left ear. The relief is instant.
My friend had bad vertigo. Went to a ton of doctors and as usually they could not help her. I brought her a beehive and while she was cutting the grass she got 11 stings in her head. She applied baking soda on the head. By the day after the vertigo was gone. 5 years later still no vertigo. Honey bees can spot blockages and sting to unblock the energy. .....
My spouse had this years ago and we were terrified he was having a stroke. The epley maneuver worked. He used it occasionally naybe twice a year, but since going on Vit D3 plus K2, he hasn't had any issues. It's been many years.
Seemingly, out of nowhere, I began having episodes of vertigo. A couple of times, it has kept me confined to my bed for a day or two. I spoke with my doctor about it twice, and he assured me that it happens frequently to people in their mid-50s and later but offered nothing else. I've stopped driving for about 3-4 months now because of fear it will strike and I'll injure another driver. I have even spent a bit of time searching online for causes but wasn't able to find much useful info. This is the first I'm seeing about this epely method/procedure. Is this to be done during an episode of vertigo or can it be done when vertigo is not actively present? I'm asking because I don't want to trigger the vertigo -- by possibly moving a calcium crystal into the position where it may trigger the vertigo.
I recently experienced vertigo suddenly and had all the symptoms listed in this video. It is frightening. Thanks to this video, I performed the Epley maneuver very...very.....slowly! No spinning. It has only been one day, but I can feel a huge difference. Thank you Dr Berg for all your hard work and dedication. Oh! And I am taking my D, K2 and spending time in the sun. Hopefully, never again vertigo!
I was diagnosed with BPV and nystagmus years ago as a teenager. It's awful!! I also used to get horrible migraines as well, and usually the two (vertigo and migraines) seemed to go hand in hand. Last year I went to a new doctor, a D.O., who suspected I had a Vit. D deficiency. She checked my blood and it turns out she was right!! I was shocked because I live on a farm and am always outside. I never would have thought I was Vit. D deficient! She put me on a prescription dose of the vitamin and guess what .- no more headaches and no more vertigo!!! It only took 40 years but hey, better late than never!!
I am happy to know that your vertigo is gone. Hope the same happens with me. I am suffering from vertigo for last two months. Even I am Vitamin D deficent (7ng) so I have started taking Vitamin D injection weekly.
If you have a serious lack of vitamin D but get sun regularly please, please check your calcium levels. If they are EVER ten or above get off the vitamin D! You may very well have hyperparathyroidism! Vitamin D suppresses PTH hormone while simultaneously opening the flood gates to high calcium. Do NOT expect your doctor to know this and do not rely on "normal" PTH levels to tell you have it. Seek a diagnosis with a parathyroid center who specializes in this. Even endocrinologists fail miserably in detecting it. It could save your life.
@@nancyroger6185 yup. I've had it too twice in my life. It was really bad. Throwing up all night/day because of the fast spinning. Only the exercise of laying on a bed and doing that head movement thing twice a day made it go away after 10 days
I had positional vertigo awhile back. I was laying in bed and just turned my head to one side, and the whole room started spinning around violently. It can make one motion sick. Then when I tried to stand up, I would feel my head spinning and I couldn't stay upright. When that finally stopped, I found that when I walked, I was being pulled to one side. It finally vanished, and I've been okay since. But, boy, is that CREEPY! I was diagnosed as Vitamin D3 deficient around that time. Took supplements, and haven't had a problem since.
I had the same thing happen to me. I was fine and went to bed. I woke up to go the the bathroom and the room was spinning. I also had to go number 2.. I felt like I had a touch of a bug going on. It scared me. I did this exercise and seems to be okay but my appetite hasn't returned. I'm going g to increase my vitamin d for sure
@jrnfw4060 are you still having issues I had similar issues I don't always have it when I lay down sometimes I get vertigo. How do you know if your vitamin d deficiency
@@UGotHookah I learned about my Vitamin D deficiency when I had a complete physical done at the clinic I use. They test for that. Currently, I'm not having the severe spinning vertigo, though occasionally I'm a little shaky on my feet and just have to be careful. It comes and goes.
I was suffering with horrible debilitating vertigo for years. Turned out it was none of this. I went to an ent had all of these tests done. Turned out… It was my eyes. Divergence insufficiency. I went to several eye doctors that couldn’t figure it out, then went to a specialist who immediately saw the problem and diagnosed me. I was prescribed eyeglasses with special lenses and it changed my life. It’s not 100 percent gone but I can live almost normal. Staring at my phone or scrolling on my phone can make it worse. Exercising my eyes outside on walks helps. My glasses help. A healthy diet helps. Avoiding staring at my phone for hours helps. Good luck everyone. I hope you figure out what is causing your vertigo. I know how awful it is.
What kind of specialist did you see? I've had dizziness 3 years, can't figure out why. I also have issues with my eyes. Optometrist and ophthalmologist says everything is fine, but it's not. It's preventing me from many things.
@@amr6559 just go to an eye doctor that is familiar with divergence insufficiency. And or to specifically check for that. I went to an eye doctor that specializes in like how brain damage or brain tumors affect the eyes. There are eye exercises you can do. That are very uncomfortable and bring on the vertigo but are necessary to help. Also the glasses with special lenses for divergence insufficiency to help realign the eyes. Keeping them in the right place.
I was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease and BPPV vertigo approximately 12 years ago. I’m only still very young. I tried several different therapies and some worked and some didn’t so I decided to do my own research and you’re absolutely right. Vitamin D deficiency is one of the major factors of my triggers. I still have vertigo from time to time and I may walk like I’m drunk haha but the Dr’s could only treat the symptoms but not the cause. I’m not cured but life is a lot better knowing the changes I made saved me from being house bound.
@@overcomer1679 I'd really like to know what you mean by water fast. Do you mean not drinking water because I have never heard of that. I was told to drink at least 1 liter of water daily.
My ex was an ENT doctor. I learned the Eply manuever at his practice and saw many patients with BPPV. I did the Eply manuever in office. Its simple and basically moves the crystal(s) out of the balance canal (where if thet are in either canal frew floating, your own movement causes crystals to move along the canal, causing dizziness, if the crytals are floating around the canal). It definitely works for BPPV patients but not all vertigo is caused by these crystals. This manuever can definitely help move them out of the canal to relieve symtoms. Dr. Berg is spot on.
Theres also different manuevers for different areas the crystals may go into, just found that out in a book with different ones and where the crystals are.
I suffer from this medical condition and it is debilitating! Vomiting, dizziness non stop, and I do this maneuver for a few times a week sometimes. My hubby helps me just in case I start vomiting. I also do some other movements with a ball that I bounce while tilting my head in various positions while I bounce. That also has helped me regain normality in my life. All these work out routines came directly from a specialist that worked at NASA; which, he put me through a testing workout in his clinic. Basically he definitely saved me!
@@conanga …I live in Australia. I now take Ostelin Vit D 7000IU once per week (usually a Wednesday morning). 200IU is probably okay if you are outside a lot.
Whenever I am reading about, or viewing a video like this, about the condition and treatment for BPPV I am thinking to myself that the presenter or author probably has never experienced BPPV in its worst form. If you have ever had this in the extreme, you would know that you have no control at all of your body and the very idea that you could easily fix this by way of a manoeuvre without assistance from other(s) is simply inconceivable. This is what happened to me the first time I experienced BPPV. I was lying in bed and a wind gust caused the blinds in the window behind the bed head to bash against the window architrave. The noise startled me and I woke and tilted my head back and to one side very quickly (fright / spontaneous reaction) so as to see what was making the noise. Then, my head went into a very fast spin. My eyes were jumping from side to side at a very high rate. I involuntarily through myself out of the bed and ended up on the floor, pinned against the wall as my body tried to fight against the perceived movement in my brain. I started vomiting profusely (until there was nothing left to bring up) and my body dumped an enormous amount of fluid (sweat) such that I was dripping wet and my bed clothes were soaked. All this happened inside a couple of minutes. It took 2 to 3 days before I could eat anything (in bed most of the time) and I had to take anti-nausea medication the whole time. It's bad (worst I have ever felt) and the very thought of inducing this experience again by way of a manoeuvre like the one described... well, I think I would rather die.
I did the maneuver on my own two different times when I had similar events that you described. If you have a friend or family member who can help, it would be much easier. The second time, I had my husband watch the videos and walk me through it. It is really hard to watch the video in that condition. Good luck!
Just read about your terrible vertigo episode,I too had an episode a few days ago , I ran myself a bath and whent to lie back in the water and wham the spinning was terrifying I held on to the sides of the bath praying to god for it to end ,I lay there for some time and when it started to subside I was so scared to move in case it restarted . I honestly believe that unless you have actually experienced experienced this you would never understand how terrifying it is ,I get regular episodes but this was the worst ever and I live in constant fear of this recurring
I don’t do the Eply because the cure is worse than the experience. People who suggest it don’t know what they’re asking. The nausea lasts for the rest of the day. AND it doesn’t work.
I have been diagnosed with BPPV -- it's horrible and debilitating. It comes on with little warning and makes me feel like I'm dying. Thank you for this information, Dr. Berg!
My d was checked and I’m too high at 104? I still get vertigo with my eyes move crazy like that shown and puke and puke. Last week had it and one whole day in bed and no food. I take 10,000 with K2 and I never miss a day.
I've had this thing twice in my life. The last time was last year. The only cure for this seemed to be doing certain movements like you showed in this video. Both of those incidents lasted about 10 days total before it was totally gone. Every time I'd move my head even a little bit my eyes would do exactly that and the whole room was spinning fast multiple times a second. So I was throwing up a lot and only a specific exercise helped to get rid of it. I don't understand how people here in the comments say that they or someone they knew had this for years. It's must've been mild for them because in this condition you literally can't even walk without hitting walls and throwing up right after because where ever you look everything spins so fast just by moving your head even a little bit
@LemonBar Yeah. I sat down and tried to sleep like that too the first time i had it because i was too afraid to move my head in any direction lol. But after going to the doctor and getting a prescription for nausea the days went easier, even though everything was spinning still I didn't feel the overwhelming urge to vomit.
I had exactly the same as you in 1989. The worst experience of my life. I would rather have back spasms where I’m partially disabled than have to deal with that again. The room was spinning, and I was violently ill. I couldn’t move my head without throwing up. I got some kind of drugs from an ER and by the fourth day could manage to go out. It took two weeks to completely heal. I never knew what it was. Awful. I’m glad there’s more discussion of this now. (Good thing I was still pretty young because I don’t think I could deal with it today.)
Yes, I couldn't walk, drive or do anything but lie or sit and make sure I didn't close my eyes unless I was sitting. Even blinking made me feel horrible. The most sickening sensation I've ever experienced.
I've been there and it was so crazy for me that I had to stop working for about 2 weeks for several years. It was about how I want to stop the suffered and stop from drugs that keep me doing all the healthy life style. And thank God for all those 15 years suffered from vertigo...I am all good now
I wld like to share with u my first encounter with vertigo. One morning i wokeup feeling my room spinning so fast and i was thinking in my heart how to go and see doctor. Thank God for His goodness i somehow pulled my pillow n laid my head on my pillow. Immediately the spinning stopped since then i dont have any more of it. Praise the Lord!
Woke up one morning room was spinning and bed felt like it was on water. I was up for 2 weeks str8 no sleep. I thought I was about to be out of here. It was worse then awful. I felt weak. Everytime i would try and close my eyes I would get dizzy then the anxiety would hit which made me feel like I was falling. When i went to the hospital they gave me anxiety meds, high blood pressure meds and the generic brand of advirt that starts with and "M". Right now it feels like im bobbing and weaving even when I lie down. I purchased some k2+d3 10,000 took it 2wice and still feel like im floating and bobbing and weaving in my head. Im able to sleep but not like I need and want too. I Will give it a week and see what happens but I dont like the bobbing and weaving feeling. Help me in the name of Jesus! Please Lord 😢
Some days I feel lightheaded and dizzy but I started exercising 3 to 4 times a week cut down on my sugar and dairy foods because the doctor said that can cause Vertigo I feel a lot stronger I still take my Vertigo medicine you can try to exercise and cut down on sugar it might help your situation but Vertigo is just a wierd thing you can ask 5 people what causes it and get 5 different answers for what causes Vertigo but praying you overcome this and return to your normal self
5g. Stop using your electronics so much. Get outside in the fresh air and sunshine more. I got an emf blocker / shield pouch for my cellphone. I turn it of at night and put it in the pouch. It really helps. Along with NO sugar, dairy or caffeine.
Hey. I just read this and it made me so sad. Try a gluten and dairy free diet , exercise, do meditation and try to live stress free as best as you can!
@Wisdom24-7 thank you it calmed down for about 2 months. A week ago I started getting the episodes again. I will take these advices you guys are giving me
I’ve been taking Vit d about 5k- 10k per day with K2, and i used to still get spinning vertigo when my sugar goes high despite that. I found that when i started taking Benfothiamine, which i learned about from one of your videos. some 2-3 years ago, i have not had spinning vertigo as much as i did and if i ever do get it, it is not as bad. Thanks for providing some life-changing info on YT. A lot of what I learned from you have drastically affected my life positively.
@@EJMG22 It is a fat-soluble Vit B1 Thiamine supplement that has been used for a long time in different countries and the USA. Dr Berg has a very good video on Benfothiamine. He specifies the dosage needed.
@@EJMG22Type Dr. Berg and Benfotiamine in the search box of RU-vid. It should pull up his recent video talking about Benfotiamine and how it helps. I actually ordered my first order of Benfotiamine 2 days ago and am waiting for it to arrive by mail. Find his video and hope it helps you.
Note that the Dix-Hallpike test and the Epley maneuver are for diagnosing and treating BPPV in the posterior canal. There are two more canals in each inner ear that can be affected by BPPV, and there are corresponding test/maneuvers for those two, as well.
@@TheJML1975 Being a non-expert and not wanting to provide potentially incomplete or even incorrect info I refer you to, for example, a RU-vid channel by Michael Teixido MD, who specializes in vestibular disorders among other things. His channel is very helpful. But the other two canals are the horizontal canal and the anterior canal. I have experience in that I did have both posterior and horizontal canal BPPV, and I did Epley (for the posterior one) and 360-Lempert (for the horizontal one) plenty of times.
I was diagnosed with this years ago. And my Doctor did exactly what you showed. He had me lie down and he turned my head and then had me roll over and sit up. He prescribed Meclizine. But, since I’ve been eating a keto diet and taking vitamin D I haven’t had any issues.
The vertigo happens to me when I look directly overhead for any length of time. I had the wobbly eyes one time, and that was when I was draining my legs of fluid (I was prone where my hips on up were laying on the bed and my legs were resting upward on the bed) and when I went to lower my legs, my eyes wobbled alternately. Scared me big time. I have been doing the Epley for a while and that helps a lot. Grateful for the information about vit-d deficiency. I take 5K i.u. 1 x /day and no K2. Time to bump that up. I always wondered why I would see D3 & K2 in the same supplement. Perhaps this is why. I also get outside every day for an hour with direct sunlight. I have had tinnitus for more than 10 years, and am hyper-sensitive to EMF radiation (I can always tell). Time to up what I have been doing and get more aggressive. Thank you!!! ❤
@@codywonkenobi9170 Thank you! Fortunately, I have not had another similar situation. I have been using an infrared sauna blanket for almost 2 months now and it is amazing. So many benefits to this, and I am truly grateful that I bought it.
I started developing this last month. I was so certain I was vitamin D deficient, so I got my blood work done. Turns out not only am I not deficient I am way too high to the point where it could be very dangerous. The moment I stopped supplementing, I felt a lot better, and my vitamin D levels are probably going down to normal now. Just FYI, overdoing vitamin D can lead to the same calcium issues as low vitamin D.
Such an important point to share Alycia, sadly I fear few will heed you wisdom on this matter and continue popping pills regardless. We wish you great health, thank you for posting. 👍
I’ve done the Epley maneuver for my mother many times. She’s almost 90. It works. She has suffered from vertigo for years. Doctors didn’t help. Just prescribed medication which didn’t help.
As a massage therapist for 28 years, I dealt with many cases of vertigo. Some were caused by whiplash injuries, while others were because of head forward postures due to sleeping with a large pillow or sitting in a lounge chair with a big headrest, or even looking down for hours at books or knitting. The muscles in the front and back of the neck are meant to share the work of holding the head up and keeping the eyes level. If the head is too far forward because the sternocleidomastoids (SCMs) are shortened and tight, the person may feel dizzy and off balance because the eyes can’t tell them if their body is upright. They may also have pain in the back of the neck because now those muscles are doing all the work of trying to pull the 11 pound head straight up against the tight SCMs. They will go for therapy and want work on the sore back neck muscles, which stretches them and allows the head to go even more forward. The solution is to first stretch the skin lengthwise over the SCMs, which sends a message through the nerves for the muscle to initially relax. Then the therapist can work to lengthen the now desensitized muscles. Gradually the patient works over a period of days or weeks to reduce his pillow height when in a supine position to the point of being flat with no support, then painlessly letting the head go a little bit back off the edge of the bed, and then finally being able to reach the arms up and back off the bed as well. All these should be done to the point of feeling stretch but not pain, so that the body does not react to protect by tightening up.
It might be funny to anyone but I got rid of my vertigo by the simple advice of my doctor. I went to her clinic cuz my vertigo came back after a year of not having it. I was wearing a shirt with an apple on it. She advised me to eat an apple a day for my sake. Not for my vertigo but for health sake. So I bought apples and dice 1 and ate them up. Never have vertigo ever since. I didn’t even use the pills she prescribed to me. Just chewed some diced apples a day. Maybe the chewing helps me get rid of my vertigo. Lol! 🤭
@@juliennespiteri1974 …..the one I tried to describe at the end of my comment is best, done lying flat on your back on a bed, gradually lowering your head to the mattress with different height pillows over the course of days or weeks, until you can get the head to go back off the edge a bit without pain. Rolling the head from side to side also helps to stretch the SCMs. Basically anything to get you from a forward head and shoulder position to one where you are completely upright, especially the head. Since I can’t show you pictures, you can try googling stretches for the chest and front of the neck. You want to lengthen the anterior muscles, and THEN strengthen the posterior neck muscles. Good luck.
I Had Positional Virtigo but Mine didn't spin. Mine made me feel like I was on a Boat in the ocean. I was "off-balance" and things seemed to shift or "move". Mine was caused by Alcoholism.
I'ma recovering alcoholic and have this problem how did u fix it? I feel dizzy motion sickness everyday ben sober 8 months and it still doesn't go away
@@fredlee670 Change your diet if you haven't already and get your ears checked. DO NOT DRINK ANYMORE ! it makes it worse over time. it took me probably a good year before the symptoms went away. However, even now sometimes if i get water in my ears or during weather changes, I get the vertigo.
that kinda like what I feel but don't drink alcohol also a freight train and swarm of locusts inside my head. they diagnosed me with Meniere's disease.
Wow, This is happening to me too! It started about 2 mos ago. The ringing got very loud one day & my left nostril is more plugged than the right one. Like I'm stuffed up & labor to breath thru my nose. I was going to get some sinus medication to see if I could unplug what feels like pressure in my head. It's like I'm in a plane having to yawn to unblock my ears? I wonder what's going on and I feel better that I'm not the only one!
I had this happen to me several years ago. I told my doctor that it feels like you're on a boat in the ocean during a hurricane. She said it's the most benign condition someone can have that makes you feel like you are dying. She is right. She got me to do the lying back while turning my head and watched my eyes. It was on the right side and the right eye is the eye that showed the reaction. It was horrible. I couldn't close my eyes or be in a dark room and turn over in the bed without feeling like I was in a violently rolling boat. I did the maneuver and helped some, but it took me months to get over it completely. I still sometimes have some dizziness, but it's a piece of cake compared to the BPPV. I take your Vitamin D3/K2 supplement, but I will up the amount for now.
draw the mark of an X on a piece of paper,cellotape it to a door at eye level..........Then take step back and fixing your eyes on the X,then very quickley turn your head right and left 20times,keeping your eyes fixed on the X at all times....This eye exercise relieves the symptoms for me, and maybe for others that get vertigo.What triggers vertigo for me is when I am moving from one place to another in quick succession.
That's exactly how I feel sometimes. I can be walking and it feels like my foot is going to go through the floor. Other times, I feel like I'm on a boat in unstable waters. Other times I feel like my blood has drained completely to my feet or somewhere. In addition, both my ears feel itchy. Not sure if that too is part of the symptom. My doctor said it's vertigo and of course she mentioned medication. I'm not doing that. I just want to not have those episodes I described above. In addition, both my ears feel itchy. Not sure if that too is part of the symptom.
I have Ménière's Disease so I can relate to this BPPV since I had to do the Eply Maneuver once with the help of a friend. Since I've been diagnosed, I've been on a low-salt diet. If I go over with too much salt, I drink dandelion tea, and hibiscus tea since they're natural dieuretics to help flush out the excess salt. I also take a vegan Vit. D3 and K2. I haven't had another episode which is great!
I suffered from vertigo a couple of years ago. I did the Epley Maneuver and it stopped. A year later I began taking Dr. Berg's D3 K2. Thank you Doctor for great supplements.
You really should warn people before you get them into a position for this. I had severe vertigo and had to go to the hospital. They put me in this position with my head hanging off the bed, and I had to tilt it all the way to the right very slowly, and then all the way to the left very slowly, and I almost threw up everywhere. It was the worst feeling in the world, even though it was the resolution.
Dr Berg, you just changed my life! 3 years ago I had a sudden massive first attack that landed me in the emergency room. The did the Epily Manoeuvre on me at the hospital and gave me instructions to repeat it, but on the bed. When I tried it I got so sick that I couldn't continue. BUT your technique on the floor with a pillow was not so severe as the edge of the bed, and your method CURED me. After 3 years of suffering, every time I rolled over in bed or doing yoga, I would be so dizzy, day in, day out. But you cured me. I am eternally grateful.
Vertigo can also be caused by Citalopram, most people who suffer from anxiety, panic attacks or depression usually take this medication. A potential side effect from having taken this medication for a long time.
I used to have this terrible vertigo experience very often since I started taking D3& K2 after listening yours pervious lectures I started feeling much better now I know the reason after listening to this lecture & I will try this more seriously on that proportions, Thanks Dr Berg 🌷❤👍
I'm glad you mentioned K2! A couple years ago I was starting to have vertigo upon lifting my head off the pillow in the morning. This was happening for several days in a row. I then learned that certain foods could exacerbate the problem (like coffee or chocolate) and in my case I thought it might have been dark chocolate (because I didn't drink coffee) so I stopped it completely. Having heard that calcium crystals could be the cause, and knowing that K2 helps drive calcium out of soft tissue and into the bones, I immediately upped my intake of K2 by adding an extra 100 mcg. Since I was already taking 5K to 10K of D3 I didn't bother increasing my D3 intake. In any case the problem immediately went away, never to return. And to top it off I can still eat a couple squares of 85% dark chocolate every day with no issues but I have continued to take the extra vitamin K2 along with the vitamin D3.
I'm grateful to hear of your success to restored health. 💜 Please also note that Magnesium also drives calcium out of soft tissue & into the bone. It's indeed one it's many functions that occur daily (over 300+ enzymatic functions daily). Transdermal Mg is best to avoid unhealthy levels. Unfortunately, tests are inadequate at the moment, since 50% of Mg is in the bone & 47% to 49% is in the soft tissue, and approximately only 1% is in the blood. Best of Heath to You💜
@@Nabiyah1 Thanks for the tip, I've been supplementing with magnesium for many years. I prefer magnesium bisglycinate. I've even heard that having low magnesium levels will also reduce vitamin D uptake and a large swath of the population is deficient in magnesium so supplementation is often critical for good health.
@@TomRommelmann You're welcome & agreed @ your thoughts. In case you're unfamiliar, the Magnesium RBC test is a better test for gauging magnesium levels than the serum magnesium test (standard).
Wow!! I just recently started taking K2 & D3 as well!! And noticed my vertigo started disappearing! I love dark chocolate too. Lol but I will do these exercises too! My Mom had same issues with crystals and inner ears. Interesting. She's better now . Thank for video. ! I indeed had a lack of Vit D ..bc I had stopped taking it. But I do think this is genetic issue!
I had BPPV and did the video you showed and got the eye fluttering so I knew that was it. I had mentioned my dizziness to my chiro and he was the one who told me to do the Epley Maneuver. Having my husband behind my head to help with the angle and count the time using a timer on the phone for each position was very helpful. I normally have some dizziness due to my iron deficiency, but when the room spinning became a regular occurrence I knew something else was going on!
Dr. Berg, could you please consider redoing this video. The spinning parts triggered my vertigo tremendously and I am still suffering after three days.
I have chronic subjective dizziness (pppd) is the new name.. I’ve had this condition 6 years.. I’ve had MRIs CTs blood work all normal.. I’ve had my ears checked I’ve seen ENT all normal. So what do you think is causing it? I’m constantly internally floating like on a boat.. Depersonalisation and de- realism Brain fog Confusion Fatigue
I felt like I was going to fall out of bed! Clinging to the rail to go down the stairs! So debilitating! Low Carb helped a lot! (Gluton free, no milk) Now I have less sinus issues and much better health overall.
Years ago I was diagnosed with menieers disease which is having severe vertigo. I was told to lower the salt in my food as it was causing fluid retention in my middle ear. This helped greatly.
@JUDGEMENT CAN YOU EXPAND WHY THIS COULD HAPPEN? I HAVE INCREASED MY SALT INTAKE SINCE IT HELPS MY LOW BLOOD PRESSURE AND COINCIDENTALLY I AM GETTING THE VERTIGOS WHEN I TURN MY HEAD.
THANK YOU. I AM TAKING AN EXCESS OF SALT LATELY (LOW BLOOD PRESSURE) BUT I STARTED HAVING VERTIGOS AND IT HAPPENS WHEN I MOVE MY HEAD. LOWERING THE SALT IN MY FOOD MAY BE MY SOLUTION.
I have menineers for 30 odd years there is now help if the sickness come on . Stess can bring it on . If I move my head like you saying it would bring the sickness on
Thank you so much! I was afraid this would be one of those sale presentation videos, but I was delightfully wrong. You truly are helping people. God bless you ❤
You describe the vertigo I feel and I have difficulty explaining it to those who don't have it. Your mind realizes that the world around you is not spinning, yet your vision is showing otherwise. It's scary, especially when driving. Thank you for your channel
Damn, I had this condition a month ago, that was the worst week of my life. Thank you for this video. To all the viewers believe me this information is gold.
I had an episode about 2 months ago. It lasted about 8 hours and it was miserable. The only way I could not have the spinning effect was to try and stare at something straight ahead. Lying down and closing my eyes made things worse. I had 6 bouts of vomitting. It was the worst.
and brother i need it. stinking vertigo has got ahold of me. It is such and unpleasant way to live. still haven't got mine under control I needed to hear this. My drs are of no help. thank u Dr. Berg. wish u were my dr.
@@nancypardee8310 I have this right now too hope we both find a way to cure this with Dr Bergs exercises. Let me know if you feel better and what you did. Good luck! ❤
@@NansGlobalKitchen it really is awful, huh. And people act like u can help it. It's the worst. and I will try and remember to tell you. Working on that also. thanks for the comment. Misery loves company. and how
@@goddesstc Mine lasted over a week although it got weaker each day. But the first day I was throwin up 20 times until I was completely drained and the only thing I was able to do was crawl on all fourth to get water and sleep on the right side because on the left I felt like I was ridin roller coasters 24/7
This is amazing. I was diagnosed with BPPV about 15 years ago. I woke up one Sunday morning and the room kept spinning for no reason. I went to the ER because I was so scared. They said it was caused by a combination of a sinus infection and me recently traveling by plane. They prescribed meds that only made me sleep but I was down for over 3 weeks. Finally, an ENT did the epley maneuver to put my crystals back in my inner ear. I have suffered with vertigo off and on ever since. This makes me feel so much better. Thank you for the work that you do.
I recently gave up not just gluten, bit ALL grain. My tinnitus disappeared. Not sure how long it took. I noticed when it was there. But I'm guessing took a month or so.
No one notices when they don't have it!! So I can't say how long it took but it's been gone for about six months, I'd guess, and I dropped the grain seven months ago. DOn't know if this will work for you, but it's worth a try. ALso ALL joint pain is gone!!
@@authenticbusinessentertain153 For four months, ALL of them!! Everything was fine for over a year, then I cheated and ate some cheeze-its and a couple of other things. Rash and ocassional mild tinnitus came back. So, I'm back to NO grain again. FOr a couple of months, at which point I will try rice once in a while again.
About two years ago I was diagnosed with BPPV, after I started experiencing dizziness and spinning. Doctor told me that I would have to live with it and gave me a hand-out with some exercises. He did not tell me anything about calcium crystals. I started my own research and realised that I was deficient in K2. I had been taking K2 prior to this, however during covid and isolation, had tapered off and hadn't taken any for months. I had also stopped taking as much D3, as I knew these work together. So I started taking them again properly and within a week the dizzy, spinning sensations stopped completely.
This video is giving me the first shred of hope I’ve had in a long time. Been dealing with chronic dizziness nonstop for the past three years. Maybe this will finally help me get my life back.
Wow, that was the same position I was lying in when this condition first attacked me. It was crazy. My horizontal and vertical went crazy flipping back and forth. It was first thing in the morning calm and and serene from waking up and I turned my neck to the right with a pillow under my neck and upper shoulder, to look towards a clock, I turned my head back and BAM all that hit me and I went into dry heave vomit mode. It was pretty wild 😂😂😂
I had this happen a few years ago after taking a nap with my head over the arm of the couch. Woke up and as soon as I opened my eyes I felt like I had been out drinking all night. The spinning feeling immediately put me into motion sickness and I could barely make my way to the bathroom. I felt like I was dying the whole day so I went to the emergency room that evening. They admitted me and I stayed overnight and received 3 bags of IV drip, blood test, an ECG, MRI, and a steroid IV shot. The final diagnosis was BPPV, but they gave me no other information on how to fully recover, or what caused it. I did feel better after the steroid, but it took me about a year to feel fully recovered. Small bouts of dizziness would happen randomly for about a year. Even still to this day I get a weird feeling when riding in an elevator. When I get off the elevator it still feels like I'm moving up or down slowly for a few minutes depending which way I went in the elevator.
It's very real and debilitating. Happened to me violently after air flight from CA to NY, then onto Paris in 1994, came on really suddenly, room violently seeming to rotate, I grabbed a garbage can, laid on stomach, clinging to bed, seemed like 5 minutes to calm it down after real vomiting. It was my daughter's senior foreign language class trip, a few of us moms were chapperoning. Roommate mom thought I was contageous and got out of the room fast. I knew what it was because my body reacts similiarly on amusement rides which I learned at age 8. I'm 76 and afflicted entire life. Apparently, That particular air flight was overtaxing due to length; I've used barf bag on air flight before, on shorter 5 hour flights. I've since learned about the wrist band accupuncture aid and I take an over the counter BONINE, a much milder form than Dramamine which knocks you out and causes extreme brain fog. Highly recommend Bonine, you can even cut the small pink tablet in pieces. I always carry it, as a bout can come on at any time especially triggered by laying on back, turning head to right, a normal bedtime occurrence. Keeping your eyes closed helps.
@@pattifisk1829 Oh ok thanks! Bonine. I hope mine never comes back. It lasted about a year and tried to do these methods Dr. Berg show as an elder friend had told me about at the time. I didn't notice it actually helping, but maybe it did in time because the problem quit and that was 2014. I hope Bonine keeps helping you Patti! Have a great day!
This is exactly what happened to me this time a year ago, I rolled to the right to check my clock, and quicker then I can describe I was being thrown from wall to wall. Violent was the only word I had to describe it. I had no idea what was happening, talk about ice cold fear. I thought maybe I had a brain tumor. I had no idea what vertigo was about. Three and a half months ago I finally stopped having symptoms. And I'm trying not to live in fear of it returning.
Thank you Dr. Berg for this information, however - I personally, experience Vertigo as an allergic reaction to "food" that I am allergic to. Particularly DAIRY food products. I haven't been able to drink milk for years, due to Virtigo allergic reaction 😢 I just wish more doctors would become aware of the connection of Virtigo as a reaction to certain foods.
The only time I had vertigo is when I had a terrible ear infection, the minute I would sit up on the couch I'd vomit from the spinning room motion. That will help someone with their fasting for sure. ugg
@@cinystarr4657 So how did you get rid of this ? Fortunately for me I don't get nausea with this. I also don't drink any kind of milk except nut milk. I had a sinus cold so maybe I should flush my ears.
@@cinystarr4657 I had a period of time where I got vertigo Really bad. It ended up being from under stress. It had affected my immunity so badly and possibly it depleted needed vitamins. But for a few days I was so sick. I couldn't get off the couch from all the spinning.
Thank you so much for your help Dr. Berg . Vertigo is one of the worst conditions I’ve been experiencing. It’s so depressing and debilitating because there is nothing to make it go away. Thank you for your help. May The Lord keep you healthy and safe.
I’ve had this condition a couple of times in my life. First time I had it was after a car wreck. It kinda corrected itself. The next time was after my first time flying on a airplanes from Orlando to Greenville, SC. I thought I had developed an allergy or something and my doctor was trying to correct it with a couple of rounds of antibiotics. Then I was sent it an ENT specialist. He said “I can have you cured in 30 minutes”! Gave me these exercises to do. They were mostly exact to your exercise here but mine weren’t to turn to the opposite side but to hang head off the side of the bed turn head to the side of the dizziness until the spinning stops, turn face forward, sit straight up facing forward. Repeat for the same side until symptoms were gone. IT WORKS! Very rarely does it come back but when it does this exercise has been a blessing.
@Denise A. At first when you lay back with your head turned towards the affected ear you may feel nausea but it will pass so just hang on for about a full minute without moving your position until the nausea stops then perform the other steps the same way of waiting til the nausea spinning comes to a rest.
@@randygarry3678 thank you for that peace of mind. It's only happened to me once, but I remember thinking I was going to be sick and quickly having to close my eyes to make it stop. Didn't wait around long enough to know if it would just go away.
This condition is soo scary. I had an episode while I was driving about two weeks ago 😬😳 Per usual, I missed work and felt like I couldn't do anything. Thank God for your useful videos Dr. Berg!!! 👏🏾
I haven't driven for 3-4 months because I'm afraid of having it hit while I'm behind the wheel. The vertigo seems to come out of nowhere. I spoke to my doc about it twice but his response was basically that vertigo isn't unusual and I shouldn't worry about it. I spent a little time looking online, and this is the first I'm hearing about the epely method/procedure. Anyone know if this should be done in between episodes of vertigo or while actually experiencing the vertigo? I'm worried about moving a crystal back into a position that triggers the vertigo.
@@B_Bodziak One more caveat: if you do have BPPV but the crystal deposit is in an unusual location, then doing the most common Epley maneuver could indeed cause a worsening of symptoms, as you mentioned. The maneuver as demonstrated in Dr. Berg's video is the most common version, to treat the most common crystal location. There are 4 different versions of the maneuver that can treat when the crystal is in different locations of the inner ear tubes. There are many RU-vid videos of varying quality discussing BPPV and how to cure it, and some go into the different versions of the maneuver. But as I mentioned in my previous comment, BPPV specifically happens when moving the head; it is positional vertigo. So if your vertigo happens when you are holding your head still, it suggests you do not have BPPV, and the Epley maneuver will not be useful.
You talk about freaking out,, Almost three years ago I was driving on the interstate suddenly two semi trucks along the side of me and out of the blue I lost my ability to think rational. I literally screamed JESUS !!!! Oh my God !!!! I'm going to crash !!!!! I literally lost all sense of coordination and helpless caused unbelievable panic sandwiched between two semi trucks !!! By the grace of God , still screaming JESUS... YES !! Im not ashamed to admit it, believe me, when you truly feel your life is at stake you better believe it... ( you will call on the name of Jesus ) I slowed down and made it to the shoulder of the highway so my passenger could take over. I still refuse to temp driving again on the interstate.
When dealing with vertigo why not check side effects of your current medications as the first option ! Most all blood pressure meds will list all the weird symptoms of vertigo and dizziness. Check it out maybe you have taken your BP meds for way too long, or you are taking the wrong form for you. Try switching to another form or alternative ways to lower BP.
I used to have terrible vertigo, it would last sometimes for 8 hours! I tried everything to cure it ,and nothing seemed to work until I tried Claritin. Since I first tried it about 2 years ago I have not had an episode of Vertigo. I take it every morning and it lasts all day. I think it must dry out your inner ear. I am really glad I found out this works and I do not have to suffer any longer!! Claritin is a life saver!!!
I’m suffering from vertigo and I take Sudafed daily and that helps me be able to work .. I’m gonna be doing vitamin K and more vitamin D3 right now, but I definitely understand how an antihistamine can help thank you for sharing
I suffered a lot of this in my early twenties because of this... full of sad memories. Doctors were clueless, sadly. And more sadly there are lots of clueless doctors littered all over the place. It's quite a pity. Thank you Doctor Eric Berg.
Dr Berg is spot on with this video. I recently had vertigo and my doctor couldn’t figure out what it was because I did a blood test and everything was fine except Vitamin D was 3x lower than it should be. I have been taking 20k iu every other day and it has completely eliminated my vertigo.
My sister sent me this video. I had a horrible experience while on holidays. Couldn’t do anything by myself for over a month. Found this exercises mentioned he which helped me massively. Now ordered Vit D3+ K2. Thank you very much Dr. Berg ❤❤❤
Wait a month ? I feel like I am in same boat, but had blood tested Vitamin D is normal. I am in my 2nd month and some days it comes back but not too hard, but other day it clears fully.. wondering if you had similar experience where some days it was not there and other days it was mild but present ?
It took me weeks to get over the vertigo. I woke up with it. Was in bed for 3 days. Saw my dr 2 days running. I was a mess. Took sea legs, my dad used to take it, he had a lifetime of ear problems. That worked until I could see the physio who showed me, the manover, you explained here. I have that wonderful affliction, insomnia. I take D3 k2 , go out like a light , that with magnesium. As I have chronic pain in my leg. Having tried every painkiller and sleeping med that is available on prescription. Vitamin supplements work! Funny that. I love your videos, they have such truth and explanations that are hard to find. Thankyou for this, I was sure it was a vitamin deficiency...😂
This makes a lot of sense for me personally. I had this version of vertigo in the winter of 2019-2020 and was so freaked out because it was happening to me all of a sudden at the age of 47. Because of the cold I was indoor all the time. These days I take the 10,000 IU with K2 pills daily. I feel great! Thank you doc!
My mom is suffering from this and through your comment I guess she also has vitamin D deficient because she barely goes outside (since she stops working).
It's sooo scary when I open my eyes I feel I am falling from 30 level building same mechanism but it's so correlated with stress for me it happened after two bad experiences...or anytime I stressed out
Same with my sister, she said that stress seemed to bring it on, and doing this maneuver every day for approximately a week, 10 days and they stopped. Me, I only had to do the maneuver once and I was relieved of all symptoms. It's back though and my vitamin d is very low. I will do the maneuver again and get on vitamin d, k2. 😊
Hello Dr. Berg thank you for the video. I am suffering from vertigo since 2009 and lately during covid lockdown I started feeling dizzy inside my body it wasn't like vertigo this was entirely some other thing, while standing sitting even when i am doing anything i am feeling inside my body is swaying or spinning but not actually spinning. I met with the doctors one of the doctors said I have something that's called vestibular neuritis. I do not know what this thing means but my life is not normal anymore. I have that feeling all the time. due to this i suffer mental health problems. I want to have a normal life but I can't.
I've got it twice after using cheap in-ear headphones. 1 time it lasted a week and a half and the other just under a week and was intense! The two incidents were about a year or so apart but thankfully I noticed the pattern. Never used them again and never had that problem again. Hopefully this helps someone.
Thanks Dr Berg, great video, but I would also like to highlight another factor that could be causing BPPV symptoms, which is hyperinsulinemia. I am sure in my case that low vitamin D was also a factor, but after suffering with extreme BPPV for many years, having the procedures carried out that you mentioned didn't seem to be helping, I decided to strip back my diet, because I was convinced it was something I was eating that was causing the BPPV. What I found was that these episodes happened after eating high GI complex carbohydrates. The episodes were scary and sometimes would last for hours, but there was no pattern to them, or so I thought. On a few occasions, the symptoms lasted for many days. Once I removed the carbs from my diet, the problem went away. I can also now bring this on again by simply eating pasta or rice, and I can also tell the difference between hyperinsulinemia., hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, because each one has a different type of dizziness which comes on in a set pattern following moderate to high consumption of the carbs over a period of time. In addition to the dizziness, other symptoms included heart palpitations, disturbed vision and sweating of the palms. I hope this helps other sufferers of this or any similar condition.
@@mariaali7404 It's hard to say, because I was eliminating foods gradually over time. I wouldn't recommend just stopping all carbs, I would decrease gradually. In theory you could be healed in a matter of days or weeks, but the withdrawal could give you some bad side effects. I started taking vitamin D for different reasons, it wasn't because of my vertigo symptoms, but I have been taking it for about 3 years now.
This makes perfect sense and unravels a mystery for me. I've had this occasionally for years and never knew why. It is debilitating and lingers, the most awful feeling in the world. Small episodes have happened while I was at the dentist, really horrible. In the past year it's been much better, but I didn't know why. Through optional wellness blood testing I found out that I was nearly deficient in vitamin D so I've been taking it for the past 10 months. In the last couple of months I've noticed the positional vertigo has not been an issue and I can even sleep on my right side which I've not been able to do in years. These dots have never been connected for me until this video. Now I'll add the K2 as well. A huge thank you!
good to hear you recover, can you please recommend for the daily taking volume as I have suffered the same kind of vertigo for the last few weeks. Appreciate your advice
@@darknesslight3593 I started out taking 5,000 IU of D3 and 1 dropper (about 500 mcg.) of K-2 (MK7) per day. Now I am somewhat random about it, and sometimes up the D3 to 10,000. These changes because I'm not in the sun much, my D level is still on the low side, and being a bit random about taking it as opposed to a consistent daily dose, might be more effective according to some. Well, so far, so good. Hope you find relief.
Thank you so much Dr Berg!!! I recently told my doc that ihad ear rocks and she looked at me like I had 5 heads..lol!!! Ive been experiencing vertigo so badly and to the point I couldnt sleep in bed anymore b ecause my head would spin so badly if I lay flat!!! Going to do this!!!
Just for the record, my mother got the worst vertigo in her life after taking vitamin D supplement 1000 units for about 10 days (in addition to a multivitamin pill). Most probably it was BPPV because it used to start after certain head position changes like going out of bed in the morning.
I'm currently experiencing a relatively mild case of this and had an extremely bad case of it a few years ago; usually ended up vomiting and falling down. The vitamin D factor makes sense, as I am a night-shift worker who rarely sees the sun, even on my days off. I was tested and found to be extremely deficient, so I've been taking vitamin D every morning after work. I will try adding vitamin K and see if that helps.
As someone that suffers with vertigo and actively looking for some help, I really didn't appreciate all the spinning. We know what vertigo is. We suffer from it. I had to continually scroll down to avoid the visual.
@@flamingpieherman9822 Indeed, this type of vertigo is neither related directly to a stroke nor tinnitus. However I wish RR good luck in their endeavours.
I want to thank you so much I woke up with this my hubby found your video and it works wow I’m fine now took about 31/2 weeks god bless you for all your videos!
This so interesting! I have suffered with vertigo for a number of years. Recently I had blood work done. I was low in vitamin D. I started taking vitamin D with K2. I have had some symptoms, but nothing like before. Thank you for such great information!
Thanks for the video. Why doctors just prescribe medicine and don’t explain like you do. They don’t want people to get better. Money making business for them.
👍And in some cases, however, the cause is the atlas or axis out of alignment in your neck. This causes pressure on your trigeminal nerve and can also cause headaches or migraines. It is more of a disconnect feeling than a dizziness. Great lesson Dr. Berg. Exactly why I crave ice cream and salads and greens when congested. Lots of things can irritate nerves. Every surgery causes nerve damage. Scar tissue can even irritate nerves. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Regarding the atlas or axis being out of alignment, this is common with people with TMD where they have the forward head posture. Doing posture exercises, along with doing head and neck exercises slowly twice per day helps - which also helps with hearing. In addition, put olive oil drops in your ears on a regular basis and it will dislodge wax in your ears if that's also part of the issue.
What is the disconnect feeling like? I'm wondering if I've been suffering from this. The doctor thought it was a pinched nerve but I'm doubtful. I'd love more info if you have any.
@@jmessenger919 If you're open to it, there's a book by Louise L. Hay called: "You Can Heal Your Life". In the middle section of the book, she lists different health issues on the: Problem, Probably Cause, and New Thought Pattern. See Vertigo under "Problem". Also, do head and neck exercises slowly, and daily for life. All the best! 👌
When I was really high in oxalates and learning about them I had bad vertigo. I also have VDR problems and need lots of sunlight D. Interesting Dr. Berg!
My girls all had issues with vertigo around the time of puberty. Turned out to be an iron deficiency. Just posting this to help someone else out. Especially with girls.
well, i have a history of vertigo for years, the problem is my left ear, i usually get it when take showers and water accidentally flows into ear, or if i go outside in windy weather, mostly i stick tissues in my ears, and wear a hat all the time, when i get vertigo turning in bed, i just close my eyes
I have BPPV, the Eply maneuver didn't help at all, but there's another that truly helped developed by a doctor who has BPPV herself called the half somersault. Also the little crystals are normally attached to the little hairs inside the tubes of the ears. What sometimes happens is they can get knocked loose and float around touching the other hairs and crystals causing vertigo, not having anything to do with how much vit.d you have. BPPV is also caused by fluid imbalance in the inner ear and even eating too much sugar or having allergies or inflammation can cause it.
Vitamin D deficiency causes excess calcium in the fluids of the body. And Vitamin K is needed to utilize the Vitamin D. So BPPV can be caused by Vitamin D and/or Vitamin K deficiency, just as it can also be caused by eating too much sugar, or eating other foods that cause allergies and inflammation.
This is a God sent! Bene having these vertigo’s shown up out of the blue for years. They just reappeared 2 days ago. And now I see this video in my account! The Universe is definitely listening and sending help! Thank you Dr! 🙏😇❤️
Thank you Dr. Berg, I had recently started following you because of all the great insight you provide. I have suffered for years with random bouts of vertigo, so I was thrilled when this video came up in my feed. Sure enough I was recently tested by by my doctor and found to be deficient in Vitamin D. I’m taking your advice and praying it works !
I've had BPPV for 23yrs and my episodes are sudden & lasts exactly 24hrs....had bloodwork done during annual last year & found out my vit D levels were dangerously low...i was prescribed 50,000iU then 1,000iU thereafter & haven't had a vertigo episode at all last year i had a mild episode few weeks ago so i'll ask Doc to check vit D levels this year btw: the Epply exercise works but it's not an immediate fix so you still shouldn't drive
My dad had balance nerve problems as described here and he was put on niacinamide, a vitamin, which cured the problem. I also had botes of it myself years later and used niacinamide which cleared up the problem in a matter of days. When back in New England which was highly humid I would add a diaretic for a few weeks.
I’ve had a bad case of Vertigo that lasted for about 2 years. I’ve done the Epley maneuver to no end. It got to a point where it was causing me more dizziness. I managed to see a Neurologist and had my hearing, vision, and balance tested. I found out my Vertigo was being caused by Vestibular Migraines. Vertigo is one of the many side effects of Vestibular Migraines. When I was experiencing Vertigo I was also having severe headaches, migraines, neck pain, and sinus pressure. I’m on medication which helps but still experience Vertigo from time to time, not nearly as bad as it was before. I had one episode where I nearly blacked out while I was driving. Yes, I was driving while having Vertigo. I have live my life and go to work. I’m single and I must drive to work. My normal doctor wasn’t helping me so… I drove. My appointment with my Neurologist saved me. She listened to me and my symptoms.
I have vertigo due to vestibular migraine. Curious to know more about your case. I have started keeping my triggers at bay. Like caffeine, chocolate.. fermented food .. all this is in my control. But noise and crowds are also a trigger for me which i have no control over.😢
I had this symptom about 4 years ago when I suddenly woke up at night thinking that the planet shifted rotation or fell in a black hole, After few seconds holding into my bed the sympton started to disappear, I followed another YT video back then on how to get rid of those crystals and after few days of intermettant suffering the condition has gone forever and never returned.
