DizzyFIX Home Treatment for Vertigo due to BPPV

[SapphireProperties]

I've just ordered this device as I've tried the Epley Manouevre again 4 times now with no success.2 months ago after 6 months of misery I did the Epley twice and symptoms totally went away,but came back last week after a Yoga class-big mistake!However this time I'm not experiencing the spinning dizziness on one side as before but still have the imbalance problems and dizziness when looking down etc.Should I do both sides,one after the other as I'm not sure if the problem is still the right side?

[clearwaterclinical]

@SapphireProperties Thanks for the comments. Usually BPPV is characterized by spinning, lasting seconds, only in certain positions. Imbalance/unsteadyness usually only happens after successfull treatment and not as a symptom of active disease. Given your comments it is hard to say if you have active BPPV right now. Often it is best to get an updated diagnosis then proceed with appropriate treatment. IF you do have BPPV on both sides you can certainly treat both side. (1 side/week)

PLEASE HELP I HAVE IT RIGHT NOW IT JUST RECURRED AND I CAN'T LOOK IN ANY DIRECTION AT ALL IT FEELS LIKE CRAP HOW DO I STOP IT

[clearwaterclinical]

@youtabeer If you are experiencing severe symptoms and you are unsure what to do - the correct course of action is to contact your local physician or the local emergency room. If you are sure you have BPPV then it should subside in a minute or two. Once the worst is over you are then able to perform a treatment maneuver for whichever side is causing your problems. Always ensure to have a diagnosis prior to any kind of treatment. The DizzyFIX helps people perform a correct treatment maneuver.

@clearwaterclinical

I went to sleep early yesterday and it's much better now, however, even when I'm standing or sitting still I feel like I'm on a boat. Like the world is moving forth and back ever so slightly.

@youtabeer

Thanks for your comments. It is hard to give you much feedback at this point given the diagnosis is still unclear. Again I recommend seeking your own medical attention. With that said, following an episode of BPPV it is not unusual to have a few days - weeks of an off balance sensation. This is often the body's way to re-adjust back to normal. Good luck.

im 20 years old, ive had vertigo for 15 years, it is NOT fun at all! i cant go places that i want to, cant go to six flags with my girlfriend. i just want this vertigo to go away! im takin this product i have, its called vertifree.. and so far so good. but im jus worried that there isnt a cure for me :(.. so please write me back.. is this the BEST product to get... and what is your thuoghts on vertifree. ? let me know.. thank you!....

[clearwaterclinical]

@AJay192010 DizzyFIX is an effective treatment for BPPV but does not treat other causes of vertigo. Vertifree is a homeopathic treatment in which the listed contents have been diluted to a ratio of 1-100 and then re-diluted 100 times. This means there isn't any of the listed ingredients left, at a molecular level. I am unsure how this can help anyone. Search Pubmed for BPPV and DizzyFIX to find peer reviewed scientific evidence regarding efficacy.

[AJay192010]

@clearwaterclinical okay thank you so much! i wil do so.

[realfunny7]

i don't doubt your product but to say you use it and its gone you can go back to being normal i'm sorry whats the difference between this and brandt-daroff - what happens if you think you did it right but you did it wrong

[clearwaterclinical]

Thanks @realfunny7 for your comments. The Brandt-Daroff is a desensitization maneuver, meaning that the intent is to get you used to being dizzy. The DizzyFIX/Epley is a treatment maneuver. Success is about 80-90% after the fist correct maneuver. This is similar to being treated in a doctors office. It is important to have a correct diagnosis of BPPV as the DizzyFIX does not help with other kinds of dizziness. If you do the maneuver wrong then it is simply ineffective.

Im 13 and i have vertigo I have had vertigo sense I was 12 I have had no luck with any kind of treatment and I go back to the hospital and they give me gravol. It goes away sometimes but when it comes back it comes back really strong and it gets so bad I can't even walk

[littlepumpkin42]

I have this. I have suffered with it ever since I had my head injury. Does anyone else have more episodes when their is a change in presure like a coming rain or snow storm? and you are right medicine helps in the moment, but for me it always comes back. Any info on how to treat with limited medical assistance?

[clearwaterclinical]

Head injury is a common cause of BPPV as it either shakes these crystals loose or causes some bleeding within the inner ear which causes the crystals to come loose. Pressure changes sometimes make this FEEL more intense but do not cause BPPV nor does it induce an episode. Medication can often mask the symptoms but does not treat BPPV. The most effective treatment for BPPV is the particle repositioning maneuver or Epley maneuver. You can do this yourself with the DizzyFIX.

I'm only 16, and i've had vertigo for seven and a half months. It's so bad i can't go to school or out anywhere anymore. I also have an out of body sensation. Nothing has worked, including vestibular rehab. I still have no diagnosis. It has ruined my life.

[yukontanya]

My dad has been diagnosed with BPPV, and we live in a norther community where there is not available treatment, he has been very sick, barely being able to walk, having a hard time putting sentences together, and even vomiting. He has not been able to go to work for 4 months, and I am really worried about him. The doctors want to fly him to Vancouver for treatment, but not for two more months. Does this product work? Will it help him? Will it FIX him?

[clearwaterclinical]

@yukontanya thanks for the question. The DizzyFIX treats BPPV only and not other causes of vertigo or dizziness. BPPV is typically characterized by short lived episodes of vertigo (spinning) which comes on in certain positions, like lying down. This does not really sound like what you are describing and the difficulty speaking worries me. You should always discuss these sorts of questions with your own doctor.

[plzromanceme]

ugh i hate having vertigo I am now dealing with it.. im so dizzy ,headache, nausea, vomiting i sometimes stagger like im drunk i will be glad if this helps me. cause i sometimes feel like im stuck on a non- stopping merry go round.

[petalovespongy]

Yeah I have the same. I have medication for it but it dosen't really work. Sometimes it lasts for hours at a time and I get very paniky with it.

[clearwaterclinical]

@petalovespongy - BPPV can be suppressed with medications but not treated with it. The only non-surgical treatment for BPPV is a repositioning maneuver like what the DizzyFIX will take you through.

[yukontanya]

@clearwaterclinical Do you know of other conditions that he might have? His doctor is stumped. He has used DizzyFix and it has worked for him for a short period, about a day but when he lays down his dizziness comes back. Any information you might have would be greatly greatly appreciated.

[scallly64]

@plzromanceme did your symptoms improve? I have the same exact symptoms..if it worked for you ,can you give me some advise..thx!

[clearwaterclinical]

That may indeed be BPPV but it is a good idea to get a professional diagnosis. The Epley in the office or at home using the DizzyFIX can treat BPPV in both ears. Sometimes it is best to treat one side at a time though. We suggest treating one side the first week and the other the second.

[sledhead7969]

At 1:35 you say should be "cured" how can it be a cure if it's reoccuring? So when a person comes in there, who is not currently having issues with vertigo, but may have recently, are they cured? I suffer from major vertigo attacks that land me in bed for 3 to 12 hours, totally incapacitated. And when I'm not having a full blown attack, I'm almost always a little light headed, and have brain fog. Its come to the point where I'm scared to leave my house. Any suggestions?

[clearwaterclinical]

Good question. BPPV comes in episodes. Most episodes can be treated or cured with a repositioning maneuver. Much like Tylenol can cure a headache it doesn't prevent it from coming back.

Although I can't comment on your particular situation Dizziness lasting 3-12 hours is not typical of BPPV. Perhaps close to Ménière's disease. This determination should be made by your physician.

[ccabek]

As long as you have received an ok from your doctor, this seems like a very useful tool.

[ineedatimemachine]

whilst watching this video and seeing the lady lay down ,head back , and then turning her head , im sorry i would have been sick by now , if this is the cure , wow, guess i have to try it ,

[clearwaterclinical]

It is true the treatment does actually cause vertigo (the same kind as BPPV). There is no way around that. The nice part is that it will be the last time you might be dizzy, since it is effective between 80-100% of the time in patients with BPPV.

[AussieBoyX]

Im 15 and Im starting to have quite bad vertigo I don't think it's because of an ear infection but because I lost my hearing in my right ear after I was shot in the back of the head in a hunting accident back in August

[clearwaterclinical]

In some cases a head injury can cause BPPV. You may want to see your doctor and obtain a formal diagnosis.

[artgonewrong]

Me too! WTF!  I'm only 45!

[oOSadHollowOo]

Me to, ima senior in high school going to college next year, but i cant even pass my classes =[ cuz i cant pay attention cuz i feel dizzy all the time, and i hate it. and ive missed so many days of school just staying home, that if i miss 1 more i have to go to court!! This sucks..

[peannut6]

I have suffered from recurring vertigo for years. A year ago I researched it on the net and found the Canalith Repositioning technique and began just to mimic the movements (I had no device) and that alone helped me. still, it's nice to see this device that will enable me to know that I'm doing it right.

[Rhapsodist11]

I will bookmark this video in case my vertigo ever happens again, so thanks for posting it and developing a product which appears to work well for some people.

[Rhapsodist11]

I had vertigo four different times in my life which was taken care of by what's called Canalith Respositioning. I had two different ENT doctors do this, one used an ultra sound machine, another a hand held massage unit. Both worked great.

This device and this video shows the positions I was put in for these short treatments which essentially vibrate the caclium crystals out of one's inner ear.

[Jiggs46]

Works people.....I had a reaccurance which unfortunatley is common, Got a prescription from my MD. Arrived yesterday. 100% better today. It mimics the Epliey manuver.I highly recommend it.

[dulsecielo]

@Jiggs46

I been getting Vertigo often

may I ask what did your doctor prescribed?

[clearwaterclinical]

@dulsecielo. Vertigo can be from a number of different causes. As such your doctors prescription may be different.  You can read more about treatments for BPPV at DizzyFIX.com

[tnktaylor]

Can I purchase this device?

[670976drrjak]

i had dizziness for a month, after much praying a lady at church directed me to her chiropractor, my atlas bone was jammed in my neck, may not help everyone but after one trip i didnt have to hold on to my wife to get to the car, i was 40 at the time

[ubpmediainc]

I truly think that the reason we all can't get help in what we may have is due, to the lack of knowledge of the doctors. They tend to think that just because you are 20 something or 30 to forty something, that you can't have what elderly people have. I been suffering with this for a year now..and my doctor has not given me any medical treatment..which cause me to leave and find another doctor who cares...and is concern and want to help.

[BungYung]

I am 68 and go to a renowned ear/nose/throat doctor here in Florida. I had an infected ear which is fixed, but since then I have problems with balance and focus. I'm on Meklizine but don't know if I'm any more stable. My main question, does playing on the computer, looking at the screen for half hour or more cause you to lose focus and balance. I have to go to a neurologist next. Pardon the imposition please..

[princessannikki]

the same for me! my doctor just said it was caused by ear infection and will go away by itself. he doesn't care at all.

[igop1988]

yeah you are right. how was your vertigo now? is it disappearing or worsening? what situation is your dizziness attacking?

[bevgsmith]

I am impressed with this approach. Finally a doctor who is really on the patient's side and understands our busy days.
