Скачать или смотреть BPPV (dizziness): What it is and when to seek help

Quick guide: Is your dizziness BPPV?

BPPV is a common vestibular disorder caused by loose inner‑ear crystals (otoconia) entering a semicircular canal, producing brief, position‑triggered spinning and nystagmus.

Practical: if brief vertigo is triggered by head turns, have a clinician perform a Dix–Hallpike (posterior canal) or supine roll (lateral canal) and, when positive, treat with a canalith‑repositioning maneuver (e.g., Epley).

Most people improve after one or a few maneuvers, but recurrence is common—see a clinician if symptoms persist or recur frequently.

Seek immediate care if vertigo occurs with weakness, numbness, slurred speech, double vision, sudden severe headache, new hearing loss, or inability to walk.

Follow for daily, evidence-based movement and rehab education.
