Overcoming Vertigo: A Guide to Treating Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo BPPV

Do you experience regular dizziness or a spinning sensation? Want to know if you could be experiencing BPPV and how to treat it? Discover the symptoms, causes, and effective treatments for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and learn how to regain your balance with Greenwich ENT.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, also known as BPPV, is a condition where the tiny calcium crystals within the inner ear become dislodged. Once out of place, these crystals can move into the semicircular canals of the ear, which can cause balance issues, dizziness, and vertigo.

Common Symptoms of BPPV:

  • Vertigo, or the spinning sensation when you move your head
  • Dizziness
  • Lightheadedness
  • Blurred vision
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting

These symptoms can often manifest suddenly, which can make everyday activities challenging.
