Self Epley Maneuver

BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) is the one of the most common causes of vertigo, and typically arises when there is a problem in the semicircular canals of the inner ear. The semicircular canal is a key structure that is responsible for maintaining balance, stability, and spatial orientation. This fluid-filled structure contains small hair cells that bend and sway based on head position changes, which then provide information to the brain to orient your sense where you are in space. In individuals with BPPV, naturally forming calcium crystals in the inner ear can dislodge and get trapped in the semicircular canal with sudden head movement. This may affect the processing of spatial orientation and cause symptoms of vertigo (spinning dizziness), involuntary eye movement, visual disturbances, faintness, and nausea. BPPV can come on for no reason at all, but usually results from head injuries due to falls, concussions, or motor vehicle accidents. BPPV is typically more common in individuals between the ages of 50 and 70, but can occur in any age group. Though the symptoms of this condition can be disruptive and debilitating, they usually last only a short duration: typically seconds to minutes. Additionally, BPPV rarely causes complications other than dizziness and unsteadiness. However, you should seek emergency care if you experience vertigo and dizziness along with a fever, double vision/loss of vision, hearing loss, trouble speaking, difficulty walking, or loss of consciousness. Many cases of BPPV may resolve on their own, though the timeline of recovery may vary. Physical therapy can provide great options to reduce the impact of BPPV on your daily life and improve your overall quality of life.

Best demonstration of the vertigo manouver. Here it is presented in a simple way. But it is actually very dreadful for those who suffer from it and do it first time. Before doing it self at home, it should be practised once in a Doctor' clinic. While doing at home, one should be holding the bed from side or touching the wall.
