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

I know exactly how you feel. It literally comes outta nowhere. I was laying in bed Friday morning and instantly the room began spinning uncontrollably. It was so horrendous. I threw up twice that morning. It’s Monday and I had more activity this morning

Do you have a memory foam mattress ?

That was the issue I had

I woke up and went to sit up and the room looked like it was going back and forth. I layed back down and then sat up. Then i tried to get up, I couldn't stand up had to crawl to bathroom, had diarrhea and vomiting, I was panting like a dog and couldn't stop called rescue and went to hospital. They said I was dehydrated that's why vertigo kicked in.

@@brendaeberwein8338 yea dehydration causes vertigo 💯 , however if it comes back again even after you fix your dehydration then something else is going on.

I thought the same thing. I get so dizzy I drop to the floor just to avoid falling. I cant even crawl without tipping over let alone manage to get somewhere to be able to do this. I did find something that helps for me though. My episodes are pretty intense, so within 60 seconds I get nausea and vomiting. I feel like Im tumbling in the dryer. Ive had five episodes in the last two months, but since Ive been pulling on my ear, they dont get to the point of nausea and the dizziness goes away fairly quickly, especially compared to just waiting for it to pass. As soon as I feel one start, I pull my earlobe out and forward parallel to my face. Then give it about 10 to 15 good tugs in quick succession. The dizziness fades in about 20 seconds or so (it feels like a long 20 seconds though) I keep my eyes closed while I do this to focus on whether or not I feel like Im moving. Open them occasionally to see if my vision matches how I feel. I stay seated until those two things match up. A stationary feeling and normal optics. Afterwards I feel a bit floaty but that usually goes away in about 30 minutes. If it doesn't, I take a nap and I'm 100% when I wake up. Im not a doctor so... I wouldn't take it as legit medical advice. Im just assuming the ear tugging is enough to jostle my inner ear to level me out. But if you give it a shot, best case... It helps and thats awesome. Worst case, you waste a few seconds tugging on your ears. Its been a simple life saver for me though.

@@ollietabooger9065 your episodes sound similar to mine. sometimes they last up to 10 minutes and it’s hell. i’ll give that a try!!

I know that’s right 😂

@@ollietabooger9065 I've had this only twice in about 6/7 years. this time it lasted about 3 hours so I am interested on your technique. I can't imagine having so many like you. You can be sure I will try it, hope I remember to do it when it hits me.

I just experienced vertigo for the first time in my life this morning, and it’s absolutely terrifying. I fear doing this test at a doctor’s office and vomiting. Is anyone else going through Lyme disease?

Do you have vertigo episodes regularly? Can you predict when they will be occurring, based on certain signals?

It was spot on for me too. But today was first time I happened to me. Do you get quivering eyes too?

No shit, I feel like puking! 🤮

It's a living nightmare

it’s actually my biggest fear

very accurate

I felt i was having a stroke pretty scary

I have been falling down since 2015. Went to the hospital. Stayed there for days no treatment many test being done xrays of all kind blood works and still. Now am home can't go out to work. Thank u for those info God blessing and protection always

Jesse Williams , I just started getting off balance, not dizzy, then this floaty feeling for 5 days now. I almost feel like I’m there but I’m not ( if you know what I mean. This will also just throw my off to one side. My 46 year old Son has had PPV for 3 years now and his Wife does the maneuver on him several times a year. It’s awful. I sure hope you get to feeling better soon.

I do feel floaty. How this all gets started bro??? What exactly happened????? @jesse

@Diane what's the situation now? How it all started

There is a small crystal that gets dislodged that tells your brain your head is tilting or moving. This little crystal is present in every human being but when it gets dislodged it moves via fluid to an area it is not suppose to be. The epley maneuver is a set of positions to put your head in to put the crystal back in place through momentum gained in the fluid of the ear by using gravitational force by tilting the head in a certain manner via the epley maneuver. I did it and it did go away and also a little fluid actually exited the ear so I expected my feeling to be caused by a build up of fluid in the ear. I had a perforated ear drum and from time to time it will ring and apparently will build fluid causing the vertigo. The ear drum busted from a viral infection that after it popped my equilibrium was thrown off and started draining cerebral fluid (not good and sort of gross). I would be sitting and fluid would just pour out of the ear, I could also blow air through it by holding my nose which is a sure sign of a busted ear drum.

Jesse;Same here. You might want to get tested for Meniere's Syndrome which is different than BPPV. I have Secondary Endolymphatic Hydrops which is similar to Menieres and I have to watch I consume to avoid the lighheadness or flaoty feeling that you describe. You will need to start reading, a I did, to figure out what it going won with you. You might want to start with an ENT specialist and move forward from there.

How u feeling now

It's fun for me

Me too !! Were you cured

I have to lay down reallllll slowwwwwly, sometimes trying it twice, to even lay down to sleep at night to avoid going into the spins! I'm not sure how I'll do at the hairdresser this weekend when they lay me back to shampoo my hair!!

I'm thr same all of a sudden I can't lay flat on my back lol

how are you now?

Ithaca Comments I’ve never heard that eplugs can cause BPPV? How are you feeling now?

Feeling much better. Only had one episode of the BPPV. My balance issues are better. I have an appointment to see an ENT soon

@bubblebear83 I've used wax earplugs for over 8 years and I've had the dizziness symptoms too. I also have pain in the ear, no doctor has ever agreed that it's caused by earplugs use, they are actually pointing to neck and jaw muscle tension. Go figure!

Ithaca Comments, I’ve used foam earplugs for the past 3 years, had severe spinning and nausea last Sunday. I have physical therapy next week to reset my “crystals” in my ear. My doc said somehow they were floating and making me dizzy and nauseous. I was thinking the ear plugs might be a contributing factor! Thank you! I hope this goes away soon! I can’t drive, and I’ve missed a week of work already!

I’ve been using the non-drowsy Meclizine, over the counter, for the dizziness. Doctor also prescribed generic for Zofran for nausea. Meclizine really works but I still can’t drive... Hoping to be cured! Good luck! It’s so awful being stuck in the house!

Was it really crystals?

@@sandrawilsen6324 I believe they are crystals of calcium carbonate

Thank you! I’ll try anything!

Yup. A concussion seminar suggested 400 mg of magnesium, 400 mg of riboflavin and 150 mg of CoQ10. One, or all, may help

Does it really work? My mother has these terrible headaches to the point she gets desperate and starts crying.

I def will try that.

@@Nelsonr1978 Just curious, does she spend more time laying than sitting each day? Mine started a year ago when I started laying more than sitting up

Same, mine only happens when I lay left side and lasts like 3-5 seconds but it is scary as hell

Then what medication did u took sir to get rid of vertigo,my father is suffering too

My right side does that my left side is safer to turn to but right side is terrible, and when I lay flat on my back😭

Thats how i get.

Me to what the problème exactly ?

I have had this type of vertigo and have used the Eppley maneuver with good result. I too wonder why this procedure is not are widely known--even some doctors are ignorant of it. Thanks for you demo.

My only concern is that, if I do the test alone. Is it too risky if I feel vertigo and no one is there to help me

I need an answer to this. So unfortunate no one answered you.

Yes recurrence is v high

***** thank you. I'm about to go get this checked on. Best wishes for your channel for helping me out

ARE M3M3Z AN INSTRAMU3NT Me too :(

hi everyone ,if anyone else trying to find out cure for vertigo symptoms try Magonsi Fast Vertigo Expert (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my buddy got great results with it.

interesting points ,if anyone else wants to discover natural remedy to vertigo try Magonsi Fast Vertigo Expert (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my brother in law got excellent success with it.

I had it this morning, it woke me up! I could feel my eyes doing the left to right stuff

How did you resolve your inner ear infection as opposed to an outer ear infection.

Same here. Mine gets more active when I have a cold and the cold gets very bad, it gets into my ear. Then the dizziness comes. When I’m not experiencing a dizziness/vertigo attack, I feel completely off. Just not myself. Like I’m in a whole different body. Walking down aisles in stores is awful and driving. I wish it would go away for good!

@@camogirl3117 hey, your makeup in your DP is pretty, especially the eyebrow arches.

@@camogirl3117I am in Australia and after visiting the beach last week when the wind was very cold, my vertigo returned. I have a theory that the cold wind sets mine off but my physio isn’t sure that’s what can cause it. But it has happened twice now. I am going to have to be really cautious about not allowing cold air into my ears. This time round I have had it since the end of May and I eventually saw a vestibular physio who made it go away after a few visits but it returned after my beach visit last Sunday 😭

Thank you for your reassurance, it helps. I was very frightened at first and I agree, it doesn’t help. Iieasy to say “Oh, don’t be scared!” but it is hard to do. It helps to hear from someone who has been there say “I did it and you can too!”

Agree…it is so so difficult to convince yourself to maintain as much of a normal activity routine after an episode ( mine are daily until it begins to get better after 4- 6 weeks….Its like convincing yourself to willingly walk into a lion’s den Takes huge mind work. My biggest challenge is going from sitting to standing when getting out of bed….and facing the bathtub is like facing the gates of Hades I try to focus on other health themes like nutrition …things I can actually change and improve…Bob and Brad are wonderful. Dr. Sten Ekberg is phenomenal on You Tube …wonderful in depth nutrition education. I have some trouble reading during episodic bouts of BPPD ( more on white background …much better on black screen backgrounds) Wishing everyone BPPV Be Gone ❤

How long did this concoction last and how often are you taking all this stuff?

Thank you

My mother told me about CoQ10 & Magnesium - Thank you!!!

Is this still helping you?

Do

✊

How this all get started????? @suePete

Omg I can't imagine. That must have been really scary!

I have it now. In hospital 4 days. Came home on meds. Had three Epley so far. At least I can read and stopped vomiting. Going back for more tomorrow. It is awful. No seconds here but DAYS of it. Neurological team diagnosed it too.

Sue Pete God help me! I’m on my fourth day. It has improved a little. More therapy in future. You give me hope.

In our opinion of course.

I have bppv it last for 24 hours. diagnosed by vertigo specialist clinic. All manoeuvres make me throw up. Get a shot of anti nausea and lie face down for at least 12 hours. Only way to recover for me.

Hmm, you must be on the east coast. It's early there, but reasonable. Unlike my being on the internet at this hour--I'm in New Mexico and have stayed up all night like a big dummy! It's 5:24 am here and I will regret staying awake all night, as usual. Have a great day!

Have you encountered this again? What were your symptoms?

Can you share the link to Epley maneuver ?

We're the same!

Sometimes doctors don't know what causes things. I would research possible causes and see if any of them fit what has happened in your life. Such as have you been in a car accident?

Richard Cassidy, how did you test to find out the root cause of vertigo? A diabetes test? Please clarify. Thank you...

The diabetes checks just ruled out diabetes. I figured it out for myself after googling my symptoms :)

Did it go away?

@@m25ruben ya it's gone now, still get a little bit of dizziness when i put my head back every once an a while. but it was bad for a good 6 months.

Feeling the same thing. 😞

These doctors call them crystals in the ear canals that get loose and must reset into film or jell in the canal.

@@thetruthshallsetyoufree2653 Maybe you need a new ENT second opinion. I went to two different ENTs. First just did the maneuver and gave me a sheet to do it at home 3 times a day and test in a week. It helped but I was not consistent. My ear is roaring and I get terrible headaches. It all came on suddenly and I do believe it is related to being stressed. Second ENT said it's my sinuses which is causing the pressure and headaches. He wants to do a CT scan now but I'm putting it off because I avoid radiation if not truly necessary. I'm on a round of prednisone now and some nasal antihistamine spray and some antifungal for my right ear that itches frequently. He said often people lose their hearing. So far not but I am miserable. I had it once before years ago. Luckily I only get it when I turn over on my right side or bend down sometimes.

Dear sir Bob & Brad I have been facing bppv vertigo from one month I am following your exercises so far I feel little good. Now I request you plz suggest what are sleeping positions

Me too!😭

Same for me. It's triggered when I'm barely doing anything. Being active seems to settle it. Running, going fir long walks, gardening for hours etc. I woke up this morning after a great night's sleep and bam!! Vertigo when I got up. It's the worst thing to experience. I pray you're better 🙏

@@peynattyl Thanks. It's been gone for a few weeks. I think my exercises helped. I think I may just be prone to it. I have ear, nose and throat issues. But now I know a little more about it. It's not as simple and straightforward as most of the videos explained it. I had to do some digging to find out about it's complexities. Now that I know a little more about, I'll be better prepared to deal with it next time it happens.

I’m wondering the same thing. As a musician , I wear headphones a lot

@@roderickjmusic I wear my headphone (incorrectly) hanging, which seems better than the correct fit.

@@TheSquidUK I fell and hit my head on concrete six years ago now and I had vertigo after. It went away then came back around a year later for a couple weeks. It went away again and then came back a couple years after that. Now that it’s been gone for a couple years it’s back once again and I’m convinced I’ll just have to deal with it every couple years from now on but at least it always goes away. I hope for you it doesn’t return like mine does

That is very scary! So glad you caught the aneurysms and you’re better now!

@@TheSquidUK that’s great you found something that works for you! Thanks for the tip, I will try this 😊

Same here

I JUST HAD ONE YESTERDAY LUCKILY I WAS OFF FROM WORK TODAY IT SEEMS LIKE NOTHING IS HELPING

daniela cruceanu i know this a very late response my dad was just diagnosed with this today actually, but he also was told he is severely deficient in vit D. Your comment has me wondering how docs kind of just shoo patients away without trying to find out the underlying cause. Thanks for your input about what happened to you and what may have been the cause.

I’ve just had my second case of BPPV in several months, and I think low vitamin D is the root cause of mine as well. I haven’t been tested in a while, but I almost always have low vitamin D. I also have osteopenia (I’m 41). I started supplementing with extra vitamin D yesterday and am seeing a naturopath soon, so we’ll see.

I dont think it has anything to do with vitamins. BPPV is a physical condition caused by crystals in the balance system.

Having vertigo too & my Vitamin D level is low too. Was extremely low, but now taking a lg. supplement, so maybe it will go up. I don’t get more than a little sunlight b/c I have chronic mono. It gives me chilblains, has made my eyes super-sensitive to bright light, makes me get too cold or hot very easily, & of course makes me tired fast. And I live in northern Indiana, where it gets pretty hot in the summer, & very cold w/ severe windchill in the winter. So I need to be inside in the heat or A/C practically all day, practically every day, resting a lot.

@@gretahoostal8565 we have the same case and 4 months im dealing already,which vitamin did u take and how it works for you? Thanks

Jacqueline , any reply on this?

Did it resolve?

Then you need to do both. My left side is worse, but my right makes me dizzy as well.

Cheryl McCall it sounds like you may have POTS or vestibular neuritis and it damaged your balance nerve. Could also be visual vertigo, you will need to see a neurologist

How are you now?

I have been going through this for a month now. How are you now?

Surprisingly, not all GP's recognize BPPV. Once it is diagnozed, though, the Epley manoevre does work. Some physicians are specially trained to do it, which is ideal; but it can be done at home with someone's help, as long as they do it properly.

Did u get cured @matthew

It's so difficult to find doctors who take vertigo seriously. If it takes months to get in to see a dizziness doctor, that's ridiculous when one has debilitating vertigo! I had a physical therapist who did the Epley maneuver just once and my vertigo was gone. She moved away and I cannot find one doctor or therapist in downtown Chicago who can do this for me! This is nuts. Will medical professionals please treat vertigo seriously!?!

MetroMermaid there is another method that worked for me if you find this too difficult to do on your own. Look up vertigo Carol Foster MD on RU-vid

Yo. Thank you.

Did it go away and how

Get vitamin d

kiss this, yes, I get headaches with mine as well. Mine is complicated because I have both basilar and vestibular migraines in addition to frequent bouts of BPPV.

I had this for a month it’s horrible

Mine is always when I walking and moving my head. Running no issues. Weirdest thing ever

@@leahthompson5703 you had any treatment for that?

Same. Have the ear popping and pressure and was diagnosed with Eustachian tube dysfunction 😔

I think same is happening to me currently,, don't really know what to do at the moment,,, any advice?

@@okerevictor1414 I am going to vestibular therapy and trying to drink as much water as I can. I also try to stay away from stress. If you know which ear the vertigo is coming from, make sure you sleep on the opposite side.

Hey how are you now? I'm experiencing 23 days of vertigo now. How many times i tried the epley maneuver but still not working on me. I'm so sick of this huhuhu

@@ciaracastisimo5594 you should go to a specialist who can do a epley maneuver. I tried doing it myself but it didn’t help me. Vestibular therapies has been helping me a lot.

@@ciaracastisimo5594 I still have brain fog and dizziness here and there but I am way better than before.

I went to the ER for the eye thing, they didn't even examine me. Just gave me pills.

Happens to me too 😑

William Bishop It’s been happening to me for about a week now. When I tilt my head back and to the left I get extremely dizzy. It’s kind of like my head is in a paint shaker.

This sucks! I only get vertigo when I’m asleep. It’s the worse, waking up to everything just spinning! :(

@@godcomplex2105 Is it still happening?

@@WilburTheAtheist still happening?

Paulawrios690@gmail.com

Me 2!

That’s so scary. I’ve been experiencing similar sensations. Did it ever get better for you?

I`ve attempted and tested the dizziness vertigo remedy t.co/Etsd4PwStq it`s efficient. There is certainly definitely a difference when I use it as opposed to when I forget to take it. Dizziness is a big issue for me, but this item aids me with it. For the past days, my head is apparent and I’ve had no flare ups ever since.?

I have the same feelings is terrible what have you done about it??

war machine ive basically learned to ground myself to not panic for one because it does cause a high level of anxiety...I did try taking vitamin B12 3x a day until the spinning has left and I have found it is working...not to say all spells are gone but they are less intense and I have done these particular exercises

Kimmy’s World this is literally happening to me rn 😢

Migraine and vertigo could be migraine associated veritigo (MAV)
