An Easy Fix for Vertigo
"What does stop it, an estimated 90 percent of the time, is canalith repositioning, also known as the Epley maneuver, after the Oregon ear surgeon who devised it in 1980. "This is a simple mechanical disorder," said Dr. Foster, who has performed the maneuver thousands of times. "You can fix it in minutes."'

Central Causes of Dizziness
"Patients with dizziness comprise a large portion of the patients seen in emergency departments (6.7%)and by primary care physicians (2.6%).Some of these patients appear to have a vestibular system abnormality to account for their dizziness, whereas other patients do not."

Vestibular Neuronitis
"Vestibular neuronitis may be described as acute, sustained dysfunction of the peripheral vestibular system with secondary nausea, vomiting, and vertigo. As this condition is not clearly inflammatory in nature, neurologists often refer to it as vestibular neuropathy."

Does anybody else get that weird feeling at busy places or parties where there is a lot of noise and things going around? You almost feel like you are in a dream and can't think as well as you usually do. It's hard to explain.

[marcialbonifacio]

I don't wish this vertigo to anyone. It's not even fun to have this. I hope everyone will get cure by the power of our God. Thank you and be safe to everyone

i'm surprised she didn't mention dehydration as a cause of vertigo. dehydration can negatively affect the fluid levels in the inner ears. it also plays a large part in meniere's disease. once i stopped overdosing on sodium, caffeine and artificial sweeteners and started properly hydrating myself, my chronic vertigo stopped.

I remember when I first go vertigo I though I was having a stroke or something was wrong with my brain. It is not fun!

A couple of years ago I woke in the morning, stood up and the room suddenly seems to spin out from under my feet. All day, any time I turned quickly, or laid down, or stood up I would feel and see that spinning sensation for a few seconds till those little crystals that were out of place settled. I had never experienced this kind of thing before and I went to the doctor right away.

She told me about the loose crystals and said I just had to wait it out and that it could take weeks to go away. I came home and researched the problem and found a YouTube video of a doctor teaching the Epley maneuver. It is just a simple series of head movements that you do to re-position the crystals. I did it to myself and I was instantly cured! The vertigo came back a few days later, but I just did the Epley maneuver again and I was again instantly cured. It has never happened since.

I had vertigo for first time(about May 2016) was horrible, its was like my whole world fall down.
My vertigo is triggered by very loud sound that really close to my ear, I had vertigo come back 2 weeks ago. Now I exercise every day moving my eyeball to horizontal and vertical for 6-Times.
Turn my head left and right each 8 times
And dont forget to drink Neuro vitamins everyday, and always bring my vertigo medicine for just in case!!

I hope people with vertigo can be heal ♡

I've gotten it a few times. Not fun, makes me sick really fast. The first time I was just standing in an aisle buying a notebook when I suddenly saw walmart spinning around me. Had to stumble my way to the blood pressure chair and sit with my eyes closed until it all stopped.

I figured out what caused my vertigo! Long story short: it was the radiator in my bedroom. I figured this out because I just moved into this apartment about a nonth ago. The first week I didn't use the bedroom heater. 2nd week it was on and off periodically.

The night before I woke up with unbearable debilitating vertigo, I had the radiator on Medium throughout the night. During my 10 days of suffering I would lay in bed and turn it on and off. I noticed I felt ok when I was in other parts of my apartment but my brain started associating the room with the dizziness so I started sleeping in the living room. I sat next to it yesterday and noticed the dizziness started coming back. That's when I made the connection. A co worker of mine told me she went through the same thing at her place.

This is an up to date apartment built a few years ago. Anything can cause your vertigo, just look at ANY small changes you've experienced. Hope this helps someone.

I have had vertigo three times over a two year period. The first time was after I had a cold and my inner ear got an infection from that. My head was spinning and became so nauseous that I vomited a few times. I always keep Gravol which is an over the counter motion sickness medication. That really helps countrol both the dizziness and the nausea.

Wow.. I learned more than I ever can be appreciative of. Thank you!

[Yaxoi]

I heared Vertigo is a huge problem in Starling City

[PtaszekZPtasiegoMleczka]

I experienced this once while walking. I was heavily packed, listening to loud music, and checking my phone at the same time. Spun my brain off balance for a few sec, and it was really weird and uncomfortable o.O

[davidmurphy]

So impressed you cite your sources. Great stuff.

[skinnydee]

Great information. Thank you and God bless.

🔸🔹 Strangely sometimes vertigo can run in families. Two of my sisters and myself have had BPPV at least twice. I had a small recurrence of it 3 months ago (after 2 years since first BPPV) which left me with dizziness and light head - ness. Worse at night. The first time we all had BPPV it just went away with tablets and rest, no head position exercises. This time for me required position procedures. They did work in varying degrees, each person I reckon requires some customization in regard of timings. Apparently some folks can get crystals trapped in the jelly which lines the semi-circular canals, and tapping/vibrating the Mastoid bone is needed to dislodge them. Very weird numbness and tingling in certain positions for me. My sister Nicola had an attack also after about 2 yrs, 2 nights ago. Last night I encouraged her to continue with Epley manoeuvres she reports 80% gone today. 🔸🔹
