Dizzyness, vertigo (BPPV) [View all]

Anyone else suffer from this Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPPV)?

I have, periodically, for just about my whole life. Having a bout right now and want to be sure which side it is before trying to fix it. Just wondering who else here has to deal wirh this and what your experience is like.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a disorder arising from a problem in the inner ear.[3] Symptoms are repeated, brief periods of vertigo with movement, characterized by a spinning sensation upon changes in the position of the head.[1] This can occur with turning in bed or changing position.[3] Each episode of vertigo typically lasts less than one minute.[3] Nausea is commonly associated.[7] BPPV is one of the most common causes of vertigo.[1][2][8]
