You know that feeling you get when you get off of a merry-go-round and you feel like you are still spinning? Well that is what it is like to have Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. BPPV causes dizziness following head movements or body position movements. Basically, if you have ever become dizzy by just rolling out of bed, you may have had BPPV at some point.
BPPV is the most common cause of dizziness. Let's explore the description of BPPV. Benign means that it won't kill you. Paroxysmal means that the episodes are of brief duration. Positional means that it is triggered by movement, and Vertigo is the sensation of movement, such as spinning, when there is no head movement.
BPPV occurs when crystals called otoconia, normally embedded in the utricle become dislodged and migrate out to one of the three fluid filled semicircular canals. These crystals DO NOT belong in the semicircular canals. As head positions change, cause additional stimulation of the sensory hair cells in the semicircular canals which sends false information to the brain which leads to the sensation of dizziness. BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo with 50% of individuals over the age of 70 experiencing this type of dizziness.
Symptoms of BPPV may come and go, and you may feel symptom free for a period of time, as long as you refrain from significant head movement. It is important to know that hearing loss is not a symptom of BPPV. If you have hearing loss along with dizziness, this could indicate a serious medical condition and you should see your physician immediately.
Diagnosis of BPPV requires structured positional movements along with the evaluation of nystagmus which are involuntary eye movements. If a nystagmus is seen and the appropriate semicircular canal is identified, then treatment can be administered. According to Dr. Richard Gans of the American Institute of Balance (www.Dizzy.com) treatments called Canalith Repositioning can be used to guide the dislodged crystals back into the Utricle. These repositioning techniques are extremely effective, but should only be done under the supervision and assistance of an individual specifically trained in the diagnosis and treatment of dizzy conditions.
Attempting to diagnose and treat BPPV yourself can be dangerous considering that if you perform treatment incorrectly, you could make your condition worse. The good news is, diagnosis and treatment of BPPV is relatively straight forward when treated by a specially trained Physician or Audiologist. Just make sure to follow your Doctors post treatment instructions.
So the next time you experience intense, brief spells of dizziness, when you change head or body position, make sure you contact your Audiologist or Physician to get your condition diagnosed as soon as possible.

I can handle the dizziness
Not the nausea and feeling sick 🤢
celeste !!!
How ? Please tell
@@amilaudagedara6271 it was their pfp but it changed to yuno
No it's not easy I was thinking that it's easy tooi but when it came it was like hevan 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I cannot handle either... Hurting feels better
The man really nailed a common and under appreciated/understood experience a lot of folks go through.
Nice Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I'm interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Schallingora Automatically Update Scheme (search on google)? It's a great one off product for getting rid of virtigo without the headache minus the headache. I've heard some awesome things about it and my mate at last got cool results with it.
Yes bro
This happened to me today, it happened when I jumped out of bed the morning, BPPV lasted almost a full day. Sea sickness feeling.
That’s how I feel
Me too it feels scary.
I am feeling this as of now. I was watching movies in bed and I felt dizzy. And I still do after hours.
happens daily, hit a door a couple of times
Me too til now im about to sleep but i still feel dizzy
*Thanks for so much info and it's free, thanks for educating people on such an important issue that we take for granted. God's continued blessing on you.*
The other day I coughed really hard while I was driving. And I literally could not see anything. Just blurred colors and my head was spinning. I showed down in the middle of the road and had to wait for my vision to return. TERRIFYING
Roby .that's scary..hapnd to me a few times...scared to go out
Same bro but not during driving and i am just 12😅i see purple dots
omg super scary. I've been dizzy and feeling rare and i have been driving with fear. sometimes i push myself to drive to prevent developing fear of going out. But i feel very uncomfortable when outside
I'm feeling blur dizeness can any body help
Same problem can u help me
Brilliant illustration and guidance in a scientific manner !
Great Human Service for all humanity !
Thank you so much !
I did the test today . Made me nauseous and sweaty . Can’t wait to get this fixed .
It’s so common, and so scary if you don’t know what’s going on. But easy to treat if you get to the ENT or audiologist.
I’m so scared I get these and I have nobody to talk too
@@evelynsandoval3479 i jus got this today..feel like on d boat cant even walk..rushed to emergency with wheelchair n was referred to ENT
@@evelynsandoval3479 I feel for you. the first thing I do when I go through an episode is call someone, for comfort. I hope mine don't get worst.
u are from where??
@@evelynsandoval3479hey did you ever get it treated I’m recently experiencing this and it’sa horrible feeling
Some time Doctors give you the runaround and that keeps many sick people sick, I wish I can find a good Doctor.😢😢😢
so accurate for what i feel everyday.
I like your video message it’s short and precise directly to the symptoms. A feeling I couldn’t express until you have sample like the ride and dizziness it was perfect to explain to my physician thank you.
Yay! I was hoping for a BPPV video
Long overdue considering it affects so many people.
Thank you for sharing!I had an experience in the month of February n the Doctor had me doing those different positions n I was better !
U r the best dr in the world. U nailed it. Thank you dr.
Im 29 yrs old and I wke up dizzy and I was scared as hell for my life.
I'm going through the same. I think something bad is going to happen to me in public. Is aweful
@@jimbrausky I panicked when I woke up dizzy because it was my first time to experience such intense dizziness. I tried the half summersault maneuver 5x for vertigo and my dizziness gradually went off, however the first few tries I vomited like crazy.
Bruh welcome to my life im 12 and its been like 6 monts 2-3 times a day of feeling dizzy. and i fainted once
Pro tip: When you wake up from your bed, don't do it fast. Follow 30/30/30 principle. 30 seconds lay flat in bed, next 30 seconds wake-up and sit on the bed doinh nothing and next 30 seconds stand up and see if you are fine and then continue. And also always keep your body hydrated 😁
Hloo
When I sit for long hours and get up suddenly my vision becomes black and I lose stability and my head becomes heavy
Can you please tell me the reason
@@sruthi7517 thats the eyes nervs its normal just do it slowly
@@powerfullcreation990 ohkk thank you
@@sruthi7517 how r u now?
Damn I wish I knew this before
Oh thank you so much for this video...God Bless...
Thank you bro! I appreciate you.
I experienced this when I wasn't drinking enough water in the summer. I fixed it immediately.
How did you fix it?
Water, Less Alcohol. Cardio...
Hi Dr. Cliff. Love your videos. Could you please do one on the different types of vertigo besides BPPV and on meniere's disease? Additionally a video on the latest options in bone conduction hearing devices would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Sometimes you just need a lot of water. But in case of me I’m always hydrated but always dizzy
Me too I'm always hydrated but always dizzy
Me too
Me too I’m always hydrated but always dizzy
same I drink lots of water
Hey i have a really mild dizziness but it noticeable. What should i do? Will it go away eventually? I got this 2 weeks ago after food poisoning and stress cuz overthinking. But now im fully heal from food poisoning and No more stress but the mild dizziness still there
I just experienced this Tuesday 2/6 and the spinning of the room has slowed down tremendously but still moving in slow motion and I am still disoriented when I have to walk, stand up, turn a corner or lay down or turn over in bed. This is rediculous. They have tried 3 different medicines and nothing is making this go away
I'm feeling the same way just not the room spinning. What have you done to get better? Let me know. Thanks.
Was staring at my mobile screen whilst sitting down and felt dizzy for a second
This was helpful. thanks
Thanks for ur information 😊
i have this in school and at home all the time
I've been experiencing this for almost a week now
Better now?
I am 70 years of age and woke 4 days ago with dizziness , for the first day i was in bed most the day and the end of the day it was still there and days later still is
Gl
Thank you so much
Thanks Doc.
This was the very best explanation of my symptoms I’ve observed. Thank you very much. I will be contacting my primary care physician for referral. During this Corona crisis, I assumed seeing anyone would be monumental. Again, thank you.
THANK YOU BROTHER.
Literally experiencing this right now. Thanks for the knowledge.
Woke up yesterday with room spinning a little made me nauseous and threw up a little. Then had headache for rest of the day. Then woke up today same thing, wasn’t as nauseous. Need to go see ENT probably
happened to me today, so scary! me head wont stop hurting though, how are you these days? did you go to the ENT? Is there hope?
I’ve had vertigo, dizziness, and stumbling for 1 week now, but the first night it happened was the worse. As
days rolled
by, these symptoms seem to weaken. I powerlift, so I realized that when I lay down for the benchpress, I experience the dizziness/vertigo the most when my feet are flat on the ground while laying. Tested on my bad at home and made myself dizzy. It takes about 6-12 seconds for me to rid the spinning sensation. But the first day, it was too much to bare I had to stand up. Also the first day, I would stumble when getting up because I was scared from being dizzy , but so dizzy I had to gain control of myself again. Will contact my doctor soon.
Any update? I lift as well and am feeling this strange dizziness
What happened how did you get rid of it?
Any updates? Hope you’re better.
@@davidgonzalez3252 it literally just went away on its own after 2 weeks

Thank you Doc.
Thank you❤
This is informative... thanks . I experienced this dizziness for a month now, it is indeed scary mostly when i woke up at night. Or when i look on sides , its a spinning feeling.
Kept on exercising head movements and neck. It worked. And it disappeared without me realising.
@yash yadav
You know it took time . I was experiencing it for 3 months. & i lost hope , but i kept on trying my luck , though it was stressing and draining. On the forth month I felt nothing at all. If I can tell you it was severe to an extent that i thought I will fall anytime and die.
@yash yadav
This was happening to me as well. You cannot even turn around your bed easily. When waking up take it slow , standing up take it slow, turning to different direction take it slow with caution, when bending don't be fast for the dizziness can be severe at the moment you straighten up. Everything you do CAUTION ❗
@yash yadav
You know i had low blood , and i used garlic a lot which triggered hemolytic anemia . It was so sad because I m not a into meat , so I couldn't pick up my blood levels well so I had to rely on blending veges and fruits to stay better. And im not into blood donations🤣. I too exercise a lot.
@yash yadav using ear phones to full blast can cause inner ear imbalances which ofcourse leads to dizziness.
You rock doctor
For me it was like my system had a cut in the power supply for a few seconds and my head felt like spinning in circles.
It’s not when i wake up, but in the day and only usually for a few seconds, and i usually fall to one side. But today its lasted half an hour and I’m still dizzy but sitting down, felt sick and very frightened. And I’ve heard like crackling a couple of times i think from my head.
I had a serious bout of this back in 2004 or 2005... and, to my delight, my ENT performed the "Epley Maneuver" (you describe in the generic). It worked beautifully and I've never had the problem again!!! So simple.
Glad to hear there is a solution. I have a mild case of this. It's slowly going away but I'm sure it'll probably come back.
Hi am just going through the same problem . Did anyone get a sloution
@@kulobaagnes83 Definitely... see an ENT to get the Epley Maneuver done on you. It's quick and easy, and usually works.
Why do dr.s act like they don't know what this is. I have been to 3 dr.s and they all just say it's anxiety. I say yes it becomes anxiety because all of you dr.s pretend you don't know what it is
I woke up 30 minutes ago and have been fealing dizzy since ...
Edit : its been 10 hours and i am still a bit dizzy , its not as harsh as it was this morning but its still there
Same here... @@@
Do you still have it.? I’ve been dizzy for 4 days.
@@JoseGuillen422 what kind of dizziness are you facing is it continuously happening for 4 days or it occurs multiple time for few seconds then it goes but after sometime it happens again. Is that how you feel?
@@JoseGuillen422 ᴜᴡᴜ sᴀᴍᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ɪᴛs sᴜᴄᴋs
Hey, I feel dizzy for the past 10 months.
Am going through this at the moment
I don’t know why but recently every time I look down or up or sideways I get that feeling of your stomach dropping like you get when you’re going downhill fast like in a roller coaster. I first noticed it when I flipped my hair, which I used to do just fine. So it’s not exactly dizziness but it’s annoying
It happens in every between 25 to 30 days whenever it happens in the morning it continues occurring multiple time for a day or two days or sometime i feel this even more than 2 days.
Thanks dr cliff for this video i will contact my doctor n talk to him about this condition. Do most doctors know about BPPV??
Do most doctors know about bppv?
I have been experiencing this.... I would suddenly get dizzy then i can't open my eyes properly and my body would get weak and shake... I remember this happens soooo often that as soon as i started getting dizzy... I would find someting to hold on as soon as possible.... This has been going on from when i was 11 years old which is YOUNG.... I would tell my mom...which is a nurse... But they don't really believe me and... Thinks I'm Joking... Now i don't even bother telling them
I had that problem already a decade until now
Try the "Epley Maneuver" it fixed mine for about 2 years but had to do it again. Also never lay on the ear that is making you dizzy.
Thanks for this, it has really helped me understand it. I think this may be what I am currently experiencing in the morning. Why does it only happen when my head has been in the same position for ages and then I move it. With BPPV, does this happen when you move your head even after a very short time of keeping your head still? Or does it make no difference?
omg when he was talking about that ride in the park..just by thinking about it i got dizzy, i always HATED that ride...
Thank you for this video. Started experiencing this a day after getting my covid booster shot moderna brand. Hoping this is only temporary.
I feel it all the time
i was just tryna lie down and i suddenly i feel lightheaded, not dizzy but lightheaded and spinning sensation. Unless when i walk around, but when i lie down and twist my body and turn to sleep on other side i felt the spinning like mad.
every morning when i woke up, as soon as i open my eyes, my vision starts to be dizzy sm, my room is moving (fast), and i almost vomit. i was so scared 🥺 i dont know what this is...

Problem every time i move my head i feel dangerous dizzy plz any one
Help i am tired of this Dizzness
Happened to me twice in my life.
Once i got about 7 months ago, and just got it today.
It really sucks
lately i always feel dizziness, but before thet i feel air in my ears.
Dizziness sucks in general obviously but as someone who is currently battling pppd, I’d rather bppv any day than living with chronic dizziness symptoms every damn day
I just woke up stood up and then my head started spinning outta nowhere I tried to control it but it was hard I controlled it better than last time tho, then it stopped.
One time I had vertigo. It wasnt anything like you are talking about here. Any time I moved or tried to get up out of bed, everything was spinning. I've always had some kind of hearing loss, so that wasnt a factor and I dont recall any symptoms of meniere's either. It was so odd and it has never happened since.
I am having the same symptoms, did you find out what it was?
@@Jorge-cx9jg No. It went away on its own and never came back.
check for mold
hey dr cliff i have just had a dizzy spell and iam lying flat on my back
Hopefully someone can tell me what’s wrong with me. So to start off with I have SEVERE Emetophobia, now on to the story. A few months ago, I was feeling completely normal and acting like my usual self. I was feeling tired so I went to bed early while my family was doing whatever. I went to sleep at 10-11. When I woke up it was 2 Am and of course my family was still doing stuff. The thing that woke me up was this worse feeling EVER. I felt like my body was sinking but very lightweight, it kept coming and going, coming and going, everytime it came I started shaking. I tried to sleep it off but then I started feeling nauseous. And that’s when that phobia fear struck me which made it worse. The feeling kept coming then it goes. My body felt so light and like I was being pushed down I started crying. Everytime it came I shivered so hard. Eventually I threw up. It made the nausea go away but that sinking/light feeling would still come in waves over and over again until I fell asleep. When I woke up the feeling was gone but the scared shaky feeling was still there. The next day I was nauseated ALL DAY. I didn’t throw up thank goodness but the nausea was so bad I lied down all day. I forced myself to eat cause I ate nothing all day and cried lol. Later at night when I took a nap and woke up the nausea was gone. I was so happy thinking all of this was over. At first I thought my period caused all of this but I’m not sure. Over the next few weeks sometimes I jerk at night and began to feel that sinking/light feeling, I forced myself to sleep it off and it eventually worked. When I woke up I had that scared nauseous feeling, it was like I was ANTICIPATING for that feeling to come back but it didn’t. Only came at night. Soon enough the feeling stopped coming little by little. It has been a few months now and I STILL anticipate that feeling to come which causes me to think I’m nauseous which then actually makes me nauseous. I feel like this whole experience caused my emetophobia to become even WORSE. I worry everyday if that feeling will come back. I worry EVERYDAY if I will get nauseous and throw up. Please, help. Right now the nausea scared feeling is back currently. Anything that has to do with me being dizzy, SCARES ME. For example when I’m driving and the car rocks. Ever since I experienced this I started worrying about things I NEVER worried about before. PLEASE HELP ME.
Does anyone else feel like they’re walking on an elevator from time to time ?
Yes
First time I got bppv was waking up it’s always upon awakening I was 33 to the whole room flipped around and my eyes would zip back and forth serc works to help the equal Librium but wears off. I’m now 59 and haven’t had it for a few years it seems to happen less as you age and it presents differently as years go by.
Now, i usually dont get dizzy, but this time, i was spinning in my chair and then got dizzy but then, i felt like i was gonna throw up and I'm still like that. (happened like 20 mins ago)
Im a kid and when he said about BBPV , i thought this stands for blood pressure , i was shocked for a sec that i have high bp or low bp bcz thats what i often listen from my parents lol
Why do i feel dizzy in the darkness. It starts off with me somewhat losing balance then it leads to me being dizzy (this only happens to me when its pitch black) which is why i don’t like being in the dark and usually leave my phone on all night or my tv on all night so if i do need yo get up i have some type of light OR i’ll sleep in the dark but i keep my phone next to me AT ALL times. I went to a haunted house for halloween with my friends this year and i literally had to hold onto my friend’s shirt from while walking behind him in a very dark room bc i started feeling dizzy and losing balance.
Today I was sitting on my bed and I suddenly felt dizzy. It only lasted for around 10 seconds. This is the first time this has ever happened to me and idk what it is

Was doing a neck exercise where, I lay my head over the edge of the bed and bring my head up and down. Now I feel nauseous and dizzy.
I just woke up and I feel dizzy
What can I do to get well?
Thank you doctor I have this problem for a long time now im going to talk to my doctor about BPBV! THANK you so much from this old Marine!
Can this be caused by alcohol hangovers? If so will the epley maneuver assist that?
How about the Epley at home maneuver? If you know you have BPPV? It's so difficult to see a practitioner on short notice.
I was laying back playing on my phone for a few hours. Got up and dizziness got very strong and I'm still stuck with it an hour later. Any help on that?
I’m here because I just got this again
Im scared i feel so dizzy. Can it go away untreated on its own. Can you feel anything in the ears if there is crystals. And what happens aa a symtom please Thank you
Which drugs will I take ?
So what typically is the cause of the crystals being dislodged? I have had three episodes of this condition. Two in the last two months.The last time both ears were affected. I am frustrated and would love to know what life style changes are needed to prevent this from occurring again.
No one seems to know and this is frustrating. Both cases it happened to me, I turned quickly in my sleep. I turn in my sleep a lot actually. So recently, I'll turn very slowly. I also will try not to sleep on the side when I get it.
Anyone else get dizzy when he moves the pictures lol
My ear swollen. And get dizzy worst Vertigo. My head hurt I feel this everyday. Every minute This been two weeks now. Sometimes heard noise inside ears
I'm dizzy most of the time. I think it started one day I suddenly and quickly jumped out of bed to answer cellphone. i almost fell on top of the metal weights, from that day I've been dizzy and feeling rare.
Did you get it checked out?
It's still happening?
i lay down to sleep saturday night and soon as i lay down the room started spinning, been dizzy and having motion sickness ever since :/
I m going through it right now.. how r u now? Did u take any medication?
@Lord Quinaround 3rd day of my medication I was feeling ok.. I m fine now.. I recomend u to show to ur doctor.. resting at home wont help. Go to doctor.
@@jigstube what doctor you went too?
I wanted to show to ENT doctor but he wasn't there so I went to Physician doctor. He gave me Supravit tablet and Pandom-D SR. Pandom-D Sr was for stop vomiting I think.. but check before use.. hope it helps

Thanks! Will any Dr know how to checkand dagnose it, please? I am too burnt out to go to more doctors, by 40+ years of seeking adequate health care and treatment. AHving Aspergers and CPTSD (complex trauma) and Highsensititvity as well, I have been focusing on gettin gthe personala ssistence I need for things like managing health care visits. Also for my "extra aggressive" Anchylosing spondylitis. I thought my veertigo and dizziness etc issues might come from that, might it? Protruded head, kyphoses. Boneloss in my neck was found in 2008. Please answer if possible, Thank you so much if you do. Be well yourself
Iv got it most of the time, and it affects my balance!! But a head injury can do that 🤷♂️
I believe I have this disorder. discovered I get dizzy while doing exercises on the floor that require laying down. I have been working out 3-4 days a week at the gym for 9 months and still have balance issues when performing certain core body exercises...it's frustrating bc I have to ask my trainer if I can perform an alternate exercise that accomplishes the same thing. It hampers my ability to gain strength and balance...it sucks
Are you still dizzy when lying down?
This was a scary experience my stomach hurt really badly so I wanted to get some water I stood up quickly and got really dizzy and felt like I was gonna vomit
damn today while attending a chem lecture, dizziness HIT me all of a sudden. I felt so numb and scared.... my body started getting cold and my breath slowed down, it's a very bad scary feeling 😫
it happens to me also...like all of a sudden a feeling someone is pressing my head downward....i don't know what is the reason for this
Did it go away
@@vivian318 yes it did, I think it was just because of stress :)))
@@user-wu2tb6wp5y did you do anything for it ? How do you relieve your stress ?

I woke up and had a huge rush of dizziness. Its hard to walk
Something else u may want to look a spine nerve chart the ones near the top of your back and neck can cause dizziness if your back is out of alignment
I think it's that for me . I have issues with my cervical spine not the best posture either . Thoracic area always painful and stiff.
This happen to me today the first thing I did had hot tea with cookie and I chew piece of ginger helped me good.
I feel like my head is slightly moving back and forth
i got a bad habit of sticking my pinky in my ear to get wax out, but i end up clogging it and muffling the hearing in my ear until the wax is out. then i got water stuck in it from a shower the other day. earlier today this kept happening to me like six times and each time lasted 1-5 mins :(
When I wear my hearing aids for about 8hs a day, I get a little dizzy. I have stopped wearing them for a few days, and I don't feel dizzy now. Why is that? I have only had the hearing aids for about 3 months, they are behind the ear philips closed dome.
