Pickle Ball and Vertigo
About five years ago I suffered from a specific type of vertigo called "BPPV" , I no longer have it or so I thought. Recently while playing pickleball I've noticed that I feel somewhat spacey, unbalanced and slightly dizzy. I wonder if anyone else has had these sympthoms while playing pickleball. I also show these sympthoms when turning in zumba or dancing. Does anyone else suffer from this and if so can you suggest something that helps. I have not mentioned this to my doctor because I thought I would just give up doing these activities but I really don't want to stop playing pickleball. Wondering how common this is and if anyone else suffers. Thanks.

I had an experience with BPPV a few years ago. My doctor showed me an exercise which cleared it up. I have had no further episodes. Thankfully none were due to excessive adult beverages!

My doctor had me lay on my back with my head hanging over the edge and he turned my head in a certain order of positions I had to hold for a few seconds on each one. He gave me a copy to follow if I needed it to do it at home. If you google BPPV you should find the illustration of the exercise. If you're having a continued problem with vertigo contact your physician to verify it's BPPV.

BPPV can return again...I've had it 2 or 3 times. A physical therapist can help you get rid of it and it's pretty simple. As someone else has said...talk to your doctor.

Thank you as well for the illustration. Fortunately my sympthoms are only related to sports activities and do not affect my day to day activities. Will be mentioning it to my doctor this week. Thanks.

Mine only occurred when I initially would rise from bed and lay back down for the evening. I would walk around and function all day with no problem.

I hsd vertigo (Meuniere's syndrome) for 8 years in the 70's. It was the worst thing I ever had. Extremely dibilitating, and nothing could be done for it at that time. Lsst month I had a single episode of vertigo and I was terrified that it was coming back.
No more episodes, but my doctor and I agreed that it couldn't hurt to take one anti sesickness pill every morning, so that's what I do.

The Epley procedures are online. Good luck. I heard these exercises were developed for figure skaters who wanted to spin....indefinitely. That's how they condition themselves to do it.
