Understanding BPPV and Vertigo
What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a sensation of dizziness or spinning, often making people feel as if they or their surroundings are moving. It can cause balance issues, nausea, and difficulty performing daily activities. Vertigo is not a disease itself but a symptom of underlying conditions affecting the inner ear or brain.
What is BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)?
BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo. It occurs when tiny calcium particles (canaliths) dislodge and move into the semi-circular canals of the inner ear, affecting balance and spatial orientation.
Symptoms of BPPV Include:
Sudden dizziness triggered by head movements
Nausea or vomiting
Loss of balance
A feeling of the room spinning (true vertigo)
Nystagmus (uncontrolled eye movements)
BPPV episodes usually last for a few seconds to a few minutes, but they can be recurring and interfere with daily life.
