vertigo
I have Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a disorder caused by problems in the inner ear. It lasts only seconds to minutes. Its symptoms are repeated episodes of positional vertigo, that is, of a spinning sensation caused by changes in the position of the head. Nausea sometimes follows with BPPV and it is the most common cause of vertigo symptoms. Within the labyrinth of the inner ear lie collections of small calcium cyrstals are dislodged from their usual position. The crystals fall off and can cause irritation to the fulid contained within the canals and this leads to vertigo.
So when my Vertigo acts up I do the Epley Maneuver by myself. I have been doing it for the past 8 yrs. It is just something I live with. It can be frightening but with practice I get through it.
