My wife had severe Vertigo and tried all sorts of treatment. I found your video and tried it on my wife! It worked!! Amazing! Gonna share this with my friends!! Thanks!!

Do you recommend that I refrain from these activities until the vertigo and nausea are gone? Also, Is it common to experience nausea as the vertigo sensation subsides? Thank you so much

[peterjohns84]

@33380freed No need to change your activities after the Epley maneuver. It is not unusual for people to feel slightly off, nauseated for a day or two after a successful maneuver.

I've had this for over 35 years. I have a terrible time at malls and any high ceiling area or long hallway. I'm gonna go to a chiropractor to see if he can help. I am 59 and I just bought a motorcycle. After 1 month I found that my 'imbalance' or whatever you want to call it is disturbing enough to be dangerous and I'm seriously considering giving up bike riding. I sure hope this helps because I have a son & daughter who appear to be developing the same symptoms.

Thanks so much for the video. I had the problem years ago and got relief from physical therapy with this. When it happened again more recently, in light of having to wait for an appointment, I pulled up the video. When I felt well enough, I did the treatment to myself. Despite the fact that it took two attempts and triggered tremendous nausea and vomiting, here I am 2 days later feeling so much better and actually able to be vertical. This is nothing I would wish on my worst enemy. Thanks!

@peterjohns84 Thanks so much...have been feeling GREAT after two days of doing the maneuver and I did not need to stop any of my activities. Thanks again...you rock!!

Thank you for your video. I have BPPV on/off for many years but didn't know what it was, I thought it was an ear infection, but the ENT said all was well in my ears. No ringing or loss of hearing and/or headaches. Just the vertigo and nausea. I started to do these maneuvers just yesterday and I do feel improvement after 5 days of having this vertigo sensation, although I am still somewhat nauseaous. I am an active woman, walking, yoga and pilates as part of my physical therapy. Questions:
