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

[@lauramantua7398]

It happened to me a few days ago, first time in my life, and it was the most terrifying experience I'd ever had. Totally unexpected. Literally, I thought I was dying. I am still feeling dizzy and unstable.

[@aaronroseman]

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

[@hellzmanic]

Do you have a memory foam mattress ?

[@hellzmanic]

That was the issue I had

[@brendaeberwein8338]

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.

[@hellzmanic]

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

[@ithacacomments4811]

Used foam earplugs nightly for 2 years...started to experience BPPV vertigo and balance issues....stopped using the earplugs.....no more vertigo or balance issues. Thank You, Jesus!

[@tpparadis8510]

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

[@ithacacomments4811]

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

[@sabinesaidy]

@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!

[@mzzsleepe1795]

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!

[@mzzsleepe1795]

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!

[@downtoearth5108]

Thankyou Bob and Brad. Your're both spot on for me with my Vertigo. I'm 59 years old and started experiencing Vertigo in my late 30's. The symptoms are more severe now I'm 59. Listening to you both gives me reasurrance to follow you both. Thank you both again.

[@kajaszczucka6189]

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

[@jessewilliams350]

Who else gets the floaty feeling even when you’re not experiencing vertigo like all day? I had this on and off over 2 years now

[@dianewertz7184]

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.

[@debojyoti1111]

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

[@debojyoti1111]

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

[@evilcowboy]

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.

[@pianoman551000]

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.

[@community1949]

I had an attack of BPPV a couple of years ago - I was going to my doctor for something else and while I was there I suddenly started feeling really dizzy and I had uncontrollable vomiting- my doctor was very, very alarmed and so were her technicians. I also could not stand or walk without assistant. So my doctor would NOT let me drive home so she called the local hospital and they sent an ambulance. I was in ER for about 5 hours - since nothing showed up on all the scans, blood tests, and xrays they were very dismissive with me when they released me. I went to see my rheumatologist several days later and he had the exact same attack as I had and he told me I had BPPV.

[@keithbruens]

I did the first test (45 degrees to the left and lay back). Holy cow I had to get up immediately feeling like I was going to vomit. This has plagued me periodically for about 25 years after a 2nd degree concussion. Thank you gentlemen

[@tectorama]

I experienced Vertigo for the first time (I am now 68yo) about a month ago. It was a terrifying experience, which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It only lasted about 15 seconds, but felt like a lot longer. I sat on the bed for four hours, unable to move. Since then I've had three more attacks, not quite so bad, but bad enough. I am now doing various exercises to try to prevent it happening again, or at least make the recovery quicker. After an attack it can take me two or three days to fully recover.

[@DAR0BA]

Doing these tests is the last thing I wanna do when I have vertigo 😂

[@ollietabooger9065]

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.

I am today here to share with everyone about my experience and request do not panic. Do excercise provided by your doctor. After doing excercise after 7-10 days situation will improve..

[@pamelaharris8480]

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!”

[@jaelancaster5506]

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.

Thank you! This is exactly what's been going on with me for about two weeks. It's nice to know this happens and I'm not raving nutters!

[@TomDutch]

Thanks! I had this last week for 3 days after 10km intensive running. Went running yesterday again and it was back. Did my research and I think it's BPPV. I was at the doctor last week and pointed to my head and said "somehow I have the impression something is wrong inside my head on the left." I'm starting to understand what now! I did the Epley manoevre to the left, bit of speculation, became very dizzy and waited till it stopped (saw this in another video of yours!) and noticed a major improvement immediately. Somehow I think the vertical movement of my running triggers it. I found this research study related to that: _Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo after intense physical activity: a report of nine cases_ Next week I have a CT scan of my head in the hospital. ( P.S. A sister from my church send me messages last week telling me that she woke up in the night and the Holy Spirit told her to tell me my problem were the crystals in my ear.. I didn't look into it at that time, but now I think she might have been right. )

I've had my first vertigo in my late 20s, after an accident that traumatised my back neck. Almost all vertigo crisis I've had since then happened after I did something that tired very much my shoulders and back neck. It got much worse after spending 8 months in bed in my last pregnancy though and 1,5 year ago, at 6 months post partum, I had a crisis that took like 5-6 months to fully recover... If I wasn't very careful, one wrong move triggered it again. Since then I cannot bent my head down to my right, or I get instant vertigo for some seconds. Which is what I accidentally did yesterday morning, but it lasted longer and I fell on the floor and I've been with nausea since then. Hoping it will not last for months again, since I cannot relax and take my time as a mom of three to recover. 😢

[@danieladana4224]

The exercises for BPPV are good for a couple of weeks, but remember that you need to find out the underlying cause of the diziness. For me, it was vitamin D deficiency. Make sure that you have the proper level of vitamin D (25-OH-VITAMINA D). And GO TO THE DOCTOR, don't be afraid !!! Anything you have, can be cured faster if you go in time !!!

[@bucii01]

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.

[@leahthompson5703]

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.

[@londontrada]

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.

Just got back from the hospital and I'm still a little shaky. Friday night I moved my head to the left. Got disoriented. Then it took over 30 seconds and the room was spinning like 100 revolutions per minute and accelerating! Sweat was pouring from my face and then vomiting. Cat scan showed nothing abnormal in the brain: no stroke no tumors, nothing. They simply diagnosed me with Vertigo and keep me for a day and a half. My mother suffered with severe vertigo. Very scary. I think I have something more serious than BPPV.

[@Jim-bh7gs]

Thank you for this 8 years later. Spinning CAN LAST more than a couple of minutes! The "afterglow" can make me feel fuzzy, out-of-it,lightheaded for hours or days. Until I learned Epley,spinning went on for a full day or more. Horrible feeling. Disabling. Takes away confidence to drive,or go out at all. I needed to hold onto the wall just to go to and from the bathroom. It recurs less frequently now, but I know Epley. In the beginning, spinning recurred every week or 2 and left me DRAINED.

The first onset was after taking 2 flights in quick succession and the second is coinciding with a peak in my seasonal allergy symptoms which almost always involve my inner ear, often resulting in am inner ear infection.

I've had the vertigo now just over a year. First my ENT diagnosed it as Vestibular Neuritis gave me some prednisone said the dizziness should be gone in a week. It wasn't. Next stop a Physical therapist you have a crystal in your right ear. All last summer I did therapy including the Epley maneuver well over 100 times. Next up my ENT said no you have a Vestibular Migraine. prescribed me Venlafaxine ER 37.5m (a anti-depressant). Take this for 2 weeks and you'll be fine. I take one at 10am. By noon the vertigo is 80% gone. Cool. At 2am the next morning I wake up with a blinding headache. Since I don't get headaches and I had read if you take this medicine you might want to monitor your blood pressure. So I take my blood pressure. It's 196/101. Yep off to the emergency room we go.

Even though I worked in an ENT office years ago and had often recorded the diagnosis of BPPV on a patient's bill, or scheduled an appt for dizziness, I never really knew what this was like until it happened to me. It had been about 10 yrs since that job, but I did recall the diagnosis, so I looked it up on the internet and did the Epley maneuver myself. I was lucky enough that it worked, though I had spent a few dizzy days before I had thought of trying it. Months later, I had an incident when I stretched my neck up one evening, just stretching, I could feel the vertigo begin immediately. Now, I keep this possibility in mind most of the time.

OMG! The dentist chair is SO on point! This started as me waking up with extreme vertigo where I was violently falling and my heart was pounding. The MOST terrifying experience! And then I’ll spend days feel like I’m “on the verge” of vertigo or dizziness…if that makes sense? A couple of months ago I’m at the dentist getting a root canal and something about the combination of the drill vibrations and being tilted way back (back top tooth) set it off. I began violently dropping and had to stop them till it ended. Gonna try implementing these exercises and tests to see if anything happens. Thanks for trying to help us sufferers!

2:05 this is a very VERY important point. You get the vertigo (intense dizziness for some seconds) but then the balance is affected for a while longer. Thanks for this. This is exactly what is happening to me. Felt the trigger while changing position on bed, two days on a row when I was just about to wake up, and had the vertigo for less than a minute but then the walking is a bit funny for some minutes. After that I can function normally.

Same here

[@jethrobodine9155]

I have a lawn service and I can go out and work hard and everything's pretty much fine, except for maybe a very slight nausea. I can go on a vigorous 6-7 mile run and it's fine. Laying down for a nap usually brings it on. I get up dizzy and it lasts about an hour. Tilting my head back, looking on grocery shelves can bring it on, but not always. I had BPPV before, but it seemed more intense and shorter lasting. This time it's more mild and sporadic, and dragging on longer. I checked my blood pressure. As usual, it's excellent. I've watched some Epley tutorials. I suppose I should try them, but they're a bit complicated. Also, my bed's against a wall, so that's a little problem. I don't know. I hope I get through this. It's not pleasant.

[@peynattyl]

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 🙏

[@jethrobodine9155]

[@sheridanpayne5347]

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.

[@vegasjill21]

I don't know if I have 'vertigo' or not...but out of the blue and w/o notice, BAM!! everything starts going "woo woo woo' in my head, things go black, I feel like I'm going to puke, I'm instantly dizzy, feel like I'm gonna faint, and I absolutely MUST lie down IMMEDIATELY or I KNOW I'm gonna hit the floor if I don't lay down somewhere. It's a terrible feeling. I just have to lay down and push thru those scary symptoms til eventually they subside. Generally, even tho I may be in the middle of making dinner or something like that, I will finally fall asleep for about an hour and wake up (THANK GOD!) feeling ok. Weird, huh?? It's very perplexing.... VERY scary, and VERY uncomfortable.....to say the least!! I don't think I have what you are describing here...and my doc has no idea ...o_O Now, thanks to this video and demonstration, I know what to ask her!!

[@ollietabooger9065]

Same! Just out of no where, i feel like Im a sock in the dryer. Everything spins violently, within 30 seconds i start to get the sweats and nausia and vomiting. Last time, my body actually jerked back like it does the when a roller coaster takes off. I couldnt even crawl without tipping over it was so bad. Laying down helps a bit but as soon as I move or sit up..more vomiting. When the worst of the spinning stopped, i felt like I could just pass out, so i would take a nap whwrever I was laying at the time. The floatiness would last all day until I woke up the next morning. It was really intense. I found that tugging on my ears helps. Ive had five episodes this year but none got to the vomit point since ive started doing this. Typically, the dizziness subsides fairly quickly (within 30 seconds). I feel a bit floaty for a little while after, but that goes away if its not gone within an hour I just take a little nap if I can and when I wake up, I'm 100%. As soon as it starts, I take my earlobe, pull it out and forward. Keep it fairly close to my face, and give it 10 to 15 good firm tugs in quick succession (try it on both ears if youre not sure which one is causing the problem). Im not a doctor, so I wouldnt consider this as legit medical advice. but i figure maybe the ear tugs help jostle the inner ear and help me level out again? Either way, its been a life saver for me. If you give it a shot, just dont pull hard enough to hurt youself but firm enough to let those floaty ear particles know whos boss. Some people get worse dizziness than others, but if its that bad its worth a shot in a pinch. I hope it helps if you try it.

[@vegasjill21]

@@ollietabooger9065 Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and ideas. Glad you found some relief. I will surely try that next time.....which I just HOPE there is NO next time, but I can't imagine this just going away on it's own.

I get vertigo about once every 6 months or so. I do the Epley maneuver for a few days and the vertigo diminishes and goes away. The sooner I do the maneuver after my first symptoms the shorter the duration of vertigo is. The first time I had vertigo(11 years ago) my dr. gave me antibiotics with little effect. An accupressurist cured me after 2 sessions. For me, vertigo is recurrent and I am always wary of it. I am on the internet today as I have just had my most recent attack of vertigo and wanted to review the Epley Maneuver.

@@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.
