It happened to me a few days ago, first time in my life, and it was the most terrifying experience I'd ever had. Totally unexpected. Literally, I thought I was dying. I am still feeling dizzy and unstable.

I am a PTA student. man you guys are great. I love your videos. thanks for not talking over our heads.

“Very disturbing when you get that dizziness.” That puts it mildly.

[laelpierce]

Thank you! This is exactly what's been going on with me for about two weeks. It's nice to know this happens and I'm not raving nutters!

[DARBA]

Doing these tests is the last thing I wanna do when I have vertigo 😂

[AshleyBunnys]

I started in 2017, and it's been haunting me none stop, it doesn't go away as long as it used to, I just want it to end.

This was a great refresher! Had a patient today complaining of dizziness. Rotary chair test was also positive. Thanks for doing these videos!

Watching him lay down like that freaks me out, I can't lay down flat at all, instant dizzy, vertigo sucks

[downtoearth]

Thankyou Bob and Brad. Your're both spot on for me with my Vertigo. I'm 59 years old and started experiencing Vertigo in my late 30's. The symptoms are more severe now I'm 59. Listening to you both gives me reasurrance to follow you both. Thank you both again.

Omg! Thank U thank U thank U so much it actually worked I think I was scared to say that it worked but right now it feels like it

[keithbruens]

I did the first test (45 degrees to the left and lay back). Holy cow I had to get up immediately feeling like I was going to vomit. This has plagued me periodically for about 25 years after a 2nd degree concussion. Thank you gentlemen

[jessewilliams]

Who else gets the floaty feeling even when you’re not experiencing vertigo like all day? I had this on and off over 2 years now

[indirapeek]

[mingchan]

I experienced Vertigo for the first time (I am now 68yo) about a month ago. It was a terrifying experience, which
I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It only lasted about 15 seconds, but felt like a lot longer. I sat on the bed for
four hours, unable to move. Since then I've had three more attacks, not quite so bad, but bad enough. I am now
doing various exercises to try to prevent it happening again, or at least make the recovery quicker.
After an attack it can take me two or three days to fully recover.

I've had my first vertigo in my late 20s, after an accident that traumatised my back neck. Almost all vertigo crisis I've had since then happened after I did something that tired very much my shoulders and back neck. It got much worse after spending 8 months in bed in my last pregnancy though and 1, 5 year ago, at 6 months post partum, I had a crisis that took like 5-6 months to fully recover... If I wasn't very careful, one wrong move triggered it again. Since then I cannot bent my head down to my right, or I get instant vertigo for some seconds. Which is what I accidentally did yesterday morning, but it lasted longer and I fell on the floor and I've been with nausea since then. Hoping it will not last for months again, since I cannot relax and take my time as a mom of three to recover. 😢

Thanks! I had this last week for 3 days after 10km intensive running. Went running yesterday again and it was back. Did my research and I think it's BPPV. I was at the doctor last week and pointed to my head and said "somehow I have the impression something is wrong inside my head on the left." I'm starting to understand what now! I did the Epley manoevre to the left, bit of speculation, became very dizzy and waited till it stopped (saw this in another video of yours!) and noticed a major improvement immediately. Somehow I think the vertical movement of my running triggers it. I found this research study related to that: _Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo after intense physical activity: a report of nine cases_

Next week I have a CT scan of my head in the hospital.

( P.S. A sister from my church send me messages last week telling me that she woke up in the night and the Holy Spirit told her to tell me my problem were the crystals in my ear.. I didn't look into it at that time, but now I think she might have been right. )

[pizzawhisker]

My left and right ear enjoyed you two.

[tongklangjai]

Wow this is exactly what I had. Thank you so much for the advice and super helpful info.
