BPPV - Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Sorry for the picture mistake at the beggining of the video!

In Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) dizziness is thought to be due to debris which has collected within a part of the inner ear. This debris can be thought of as "ear rocks", although the formal name is "otoconia"

Thank you for bringing Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo to my attention! Knowledge is power :-) ...

Is there a possibility to treat it by removing whatever "debris" in the inner ear may be causing the problems?

@Truedantalion Thank you, Michael. :-) I think it is possible to treat this thing in the inner ear, a doctor could tell it. My mum had a horrible vertigo one day in summer and her psychiatrist offered her a cream, called "Pimafucort". She use it now and we are waiting for the result of it (I have to use it too).

I would just like to say that as someone suffering from this, your visuals make me feel sick, I think the dizzy patterns are unnecessary. Otherwise I am going to try your position maneuvers & hope to find them helpful.

Just been diagnosed with this today after 3 and a half years of suffering.

Hey you guys! I have this sickness, for 5 months now! And I'm just saying if anyone has any questions on what it's like for me, just ask! But although some people might look at this and say whatever I have that too, are missing that I'm only 12 years old ( extremely rare) and have had this for 5 months ( extremely rare) I missed 4 months of school ( not in a row) and I throw up at least 2 times a week! But you can prevent this from yourself! All you have to do is make sure you always try to sit

Oh ... that of course makes the whole case even more complicated ... So sorry that the treatment you got there twice was a strain, obviously - and I also cross my fingers for you that you do not have to have that treatment again!

@Truedantalion There is nothing to remove, the calcium "stones" are out of their place so the maneuvers are fr putting those stones back in place. These stones give you balance.

I had this twice and it really sucks
