What is BPPV?

Benign - means that there is no serious underlying cause like cancer or other worrying illness. The symptoms may be severe and at times very difficult to manage but the underlying cause is not serious or damaging to the body.

Paroxysmal -means the symptoms can come and go and occur suddenly at times.

Positional - means that the symptoms are made worse by certain positions. In the case of BPPV, it is certain positions of the head that seem to trigger symptoms.

Vertigo - is dizziness with a sensation of movement. It is the feeling of the world moving around you or that you are moving when you actually aren't. Some people describe it as being on a ship. Often this will make you feel sick (nauseated) and this may cause you to vomit - although vomiting is slightly rarer.

Brandt Darrof Exercises

The exercises can help stop the dizzy spells experienced by BPPV sufferers. The theory behind why the exercises work suggests that it can help to relocate the loose crystals in the inner ear that cause the dizziness in the first place.

Step 1: Sit at the end of your bed or sofa
Step 2: Turn head to LEFT at a 45-degree angle and lie down on your RIGHT side.
Step 3: Remain in this position for 30 seconds. (You vertigo symptoms are likely to be triggered)
Step 4: Sit up and turn head back to center - you can hold here for 30 seconds to allow your vertigo to settle and keep you safe.
Step 5: Turn your head to the RIGHT side at a 45-degree angle and lie down on the LEFT side.
Step 6: Hold position for 30 seconds (You vertigo symptoms are likely to be triggered).
Step 7: Come back to the center and can hold for 30 seconds before repeating.

That is one cycle complete. In order to be completing the exercises effectively repeat this 5 times.
Remember for the exercises to be most effective you need to do them three times daily for two weeks.

Wow! This is a gift. I have had vertigo for six months, went to the doctor at least every 4 weeks in California, had all the high tech diagnostic tests to no avail. Finally was seen by a French specialist in Tahiti. He worked miracles in just one treatment. 5 days in the hospital (due to two nasty falls and lots of stitches) and $20, 000 later I am almost cured. Worth every penny. Boy, I was ready to jump!
This Video affirms my good health. Thanks for posting.

These exercises worked 100% for me about 5 years ago, i definitely recommend these exercises don't do them on a full stomach apart from that go for it

[DrErwinKwun]

BPPV can be terrifying for patients. Very informative explanation of how the exercise work.

[jewelrybag]

Just got diagnosed with BPPV primarily on my right side. These exercises did help in relieving some of the imbalance I was experiencing. Thank you doctor!

Having Fibromyalgia and BPV, I have had Vertigo for over 30+ years. I was looking for a video to post to my Fibro groups to help many others who also suffer the same.
Yours is the chosen one!

Thank you for taking time out your busy schedule help others!

This exercises is worked 100% for me about four months ago.I recommend these exercises

[SankethmaBandaranayake]

I'm a physical therapy undergraduate this video was very supportive.Thank you

[julieharness]

A very helpful video. I have BBPV and my Dr told me to do exercises, but after a year I'd forgotten what to do, so this is very informative. Thank you

[MargaritaNegron-yueg]

Very helpful especially when you have not had a recurrence in a long time and need to learn the maneuver again. Thank you

[sofiae]

I was skeptical, but after doing it after about 13 days, I noticed a big improvement and I finished it on 15 days and may do more if I need it.

[MrXoco]

Im gonna try these exercises. Thanks. I started suffering from vertigo a day after I got an MRI. Been 4 days now.

[rerem]

This was helpful, thanks a lot, relieved symptoms after 5 days of doing this daily

[theothersam]

Thank you for giving such a detailed explanation. I can't wait to move to the UK. America does not care about our health here. I would have spent tens of thousands in the U.S. when I can just have a simple London doctor explain with such a gentle voice and care for people. Thank you!

[shaecarrere]

Starting the excercises today. Was diagnosed with BPPV yesterday. Thank you!

[cyborgdata]

This is an amazing exercise, I came upon a lite bout of BPPV - my entire world wasn't spinning non-stop but it was noticeable enough that I missed some work - my doctor suggested that I try this and after ONE DAY I've noticed a major improvement. I was skeptical but now I'm amazed. This is truly magical stuff.

[aoefeable]

Thanks for creating this video. I had an emerg visit last night after having woken up at 12:30 am, I simply changed my head position and felt like I was on a tilt-a-whirl. This happened every time I turned my head left. I ended up projectile vomiting in bed and later in my living room after discovering that looking down did the same thing. Fun times. The doc gave me this diagnosis which frankly is a relief because I worried it was a stroke. I’m even more relieved that there’s exercises to help. I haven’t done them yet but once I have the courage (and a friend over) I will. Thanks again. 😊

[doreenhylton-scott]

Thank you doctor for your explanation of BPPV and showing how to complete the exercise to help rectify it. An excellent video.

[rhondaw]

Thank you SO much! I was just diagnosed and have not been doing enough rounds of these. SO uncomfortable :(. I will do more!
