i mean how to check we hav vertigo on left or right side?
@@fazrenyidrus708 Do the Dix-Hallpike Test...at 4:23 of the video...which ever side make the dizziness worse, do the Epley on that side. Good luck!
I have vertigo and feel dizziness and after vomitting I feel relaxed after vomitting. I am suffering from the last 3 to 4 months. I have gone physiotherapy like traction, trans exercies, heat and ultra violet massage but no benefit Sir ji. What should I do Sir ji.
Yes. Just watched the video are we supposed to do the left side only?
It’s amazing, last time I had a vertigo it was 16 years ago, this morning I woke up, I was crying because you feel lost, I started to search on internet and Doctor I found you, I did the exercises, for me it was very violent because I threw up, I took a nap, but it really works, I turned my head left and right, dizziness were gone, doctor you have no idea what you give for me and for everyone who suffers, thank you so much, merci infiniment,

Thanks very much for your valuable information ❤

Thanks for the information I will try this.
My pleasure, best wishes.
Excellent explanation. Well demonstrated. thank you
Glad it was helpful!
After months of thinking I had a vestibular condition which was by having cataract surgeries in December 2016 and January 2017. Nobody asked me prior to surgery if I'd ever had an inner ear infection which I discovered while researching my vertigo in May of this year was important to ask. On March 9th of 2017, I flew to Da Nang, Vietnam where I lived for almost two years. I was still recovering from the surgery and it was taking my eyes quite a while to adjust.
Shortly after arriving, we went to a four-story mall and took the elevator to the top floor to the food court for dinner. As we stepped out of the elevator, I began to get dizzy and it felt like my knees were going to give way. I had to hang on to my companion to walk across the large expanse shiny white floor with bright lights above, loud music playing, and people rushing by. It was embarrassing, and I felt totally out of control of my body. Then over time, the issue became less and I was able to go to the mall on my own, but held onto walls and railings as I still felt uneasy.
Years before, in about 1980, I had the worst inner ear infection anyone at the clinic in Boise, ID had ever seen. The onset was waking up at 4 am to use the bathroom with the room spinning like a five-martini binge, yet I hadn't had even a drop of alcohol in my system. The local doctor was befuddled as I had absolutely no equilibrium and would have dropped to the floor if he hadn't been prepared to catch me when he asked me to close my eyes. I was referred to experts who gave me Antivert and the strongest antihistamine on the market at the time. About a month later, I was finally able to walk unassisted and not look like I was drunk when I did.
After returning to the States at the end of January 2019, I didn't notice the problem, though I hardly went anywhere with shiny white floors and bright lights. Then, this past May of 2023, I flew from Portland, Oregon to San Diego, California to spend five days/nights with a friend in Encinitas. After checking my bag at the Alaska counter, I started walking to the terminal gate which seemed to be at least a mile away. Suddenly it hit me, white shiny floor, bright lights, and people rushing by. I was dragging a carry-on and carrying a rather large bag. My knees went weak, I felt disoriented and had to cling to the wall as I was walking like a drunk.
By the time I got to San Diego, I was exhausted, frustrated, and committed to getting wheelchair assistance for my return flight...which I did. I vowed to never embarrass and stress myself like that again. I cannot even begin to express my relief having made that decision, though I can walk just fine at home or in familiar territory with no white or light shiny floors.
Then, the opportunity came up for me to live in a spiritual community for almost six months in Ajijic, Mexico. I had little time to think about it, as I needed to act on it right away. I decided to go and got my plane tickets complete with wheelchair assistance in Portland, Los Angeles, and Guadalajara. Prior to leaving Oregon, I went to the bank to pick up the pesos I'd ordered. Lo and behold, white shiny floors and nobody to hold me up. I ambled across the floor hoping nobody would take me for a drunk.
I've been here in Ajijic for almost two months and my vertigo getting worse again as my vision takes time to adjust as I have to look down so as not to trip on cobblestones or uneven or slanted sidewalks, or not step in dog poop. Finally, I told a group of friends about my frustrating condition that has kept me from enjoying life here and doing activities that are no longer comfortable. One of the women told me she'd had vertigo and went to a chiropractor here who did the Epley maneuver, but that it was possible to do it myself. She said I might give it a try and see if it would work. Well, guess what? It did. After years of discomfort and embarrassment, a five-minute procedure has set me free. I used this video and I'm finally feeling like myself again. WHEW! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks for sharing! :)

Fantastic!
@@drjonsaunders what about know
Hi 12 years ago I got out of bed to go to work and immediately collapsed to the ground, I was diagnosed with viral labyrinthitis and I had to attend a balance clinic, I rarely but the odd occasion have to do the epley manoeuvre on myself, it does work. I have acne in my ear canals so I don’t lose the wax in my ears like you normally would as the skin particles mix with the wax, I’m essentially making my own form of concrete and every couple of years have my ears syringed. I treat my acne with 1% steroid cream, recently after having my ears syringed I started getting giddy and light headed, I worked out myself why this was it was the steroid cream because usually when I apply the cream I have wax in my ears but this time there was no wax and the cream had gone further down into my ear canals, I stopped applying the cream and the dizziness disappeared after 24 hours. I thought I would tell you this as it could be another reason why one of your patients get dizziness. Hope this helps someone out there.
Thanks for watching and sharing....all the best!
Thank you Dr.Jon S. For this helpful information .never had Verdigo but this help a lot even for fam./friends.👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! This was my first vertigo episode, after 3 weeks of narrowing down my issues, I found you video, completed the test and focused on this procedure exactly as you described. After my 4th time I am no longer dizzy!! I'm shocked, it really felt like I was dying at times, but your instructions were extremely helpful. Thank you for posting this!
Thanks for sharing and happy you are feeling better! :)
Thank you !
You're welcome!

Je suis heureuse tellement heureuse qu’il y a une nouvelle méthode je vais la pratiquer grâce a votre vidéo merci Docteur du fond du cœur❤
🙏
Eeedeedeedeeeeeedeeeeeeeeeeee
Thank you
You're welcome!
I have top shelf vertigo for about a year now,, I’m about to try this as many times as I should .. fingers crossed 🤞
If it doesn't help, please see your health care provider. All the best.
This video was a lifesaver for me today. I had my first vertigo outburst a week ago (didn't even know exactly what it is). The next one this morning. I did the suggested test and performed the Epley on both sides. After doing it 7x on my left side, 3x times on my right and 2x severe vomiting the "miracle occured". :) Just want to mention thinking back, there were signs of vertigo for a while, like blocking sensation in my ears, little discomfort now and then, but major discomfort many times while using the air pods, which II use almost everyday while commuting (until now that is). My suspicion is that's what caused or triggered vertigo in my case. THANK YOU SO MUCH Dr.Jon Saunders
Amazing...thanks for sharing and watching! All the best! :)
I am really happy you commented and mentioned the AirPods! I developed dizziness awhile ago and started to have actual spinning - vertigo. I suspected maybe my constant apple ear bud wear was the cause?? I’ll never know. I stopped using them and then started them again and started getting vertigo skins again .. I have stopped and switched back to one ear basic cheap headphones.
How is your vertigo now? Have you had it anymore since the comment a year ago??
@@vee9133 i used airpods for 3,4 months daily while doing gym sessions,now boom!!vertigo,headache
For me it triggered while I was sitting in the passenger seat of my car and we were traveling over 4k feet on the mountains pass. I ears popped and had vertigo.
Did u do it first left and then right ear
Or all 7 tyms on left and then 3 tym on right??
Sir u practical towords vortigo is so cool and its easy to do and its workout positively. May allha bless you❤
So nice of you...glad you found it helpful.
I went to the doctor and i said "i vomited last night and felt weak", i was clueless about what happened last night. She prescribed some medicine related to gastritis but after consuming it for 2 3 days I didn't find any improvement, now i get this, I will surely try this. Hope it goes away forever for god shake 🤞
I hope this video helps! Please see your doctor if it persists...best wishes!
I think this may have not only helped my vertigo, but a long-standing clog in my ear after weeks of feeling like there was a cotton ball stuck in there. I tried everything to clear it up - blowing my nose while pinching nostrils, saline mists, steam, different "maneuvers" on RUclips... many different techniques.
I did this on my bed and while the clogged feeling and dizziness didn't clear up right away, I felt something "open up" in my clogged ear while at the gym 20 minutes later and it felt 95% better. I'm going to keep doing this helpful technique and will report back with success.
Wonderful, thanks for sharing!
really i found your explanation of the maneovre exellent and i will do it, two days ago anotolaryngologist did the maneouvre for me but i suffered vigorous vomiting in spite of some improvement
Keep at it!
Wow, You are the best!! I did it three times, my dizziness on my left side was gone!! Thanks sooooo much!!
FANTASTIC! :)
I had this last year after an accident, and have suffered all week again this year. I can't remember what my chiro did last year "exactly" so this video was a BIG help. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
You are a wonderful human being. You are sincere and empathetic. Ty for being you and doing what u do.
:)
I'm so happy I found this, will try as soon as my wife gets home. I thought I was having a stroke.
I hope you feel better soon, please see your doctor for an appropriate diagnosis.
I am impressed I had vertigo since sometimes last year i did not know what it was I spent 4days in the hospital since then I have been having episodes of it after coming across this video I did the test maneuver it has significantly reduced I feel better I tried activities that mostly triggered it I did not happen thanks a million .
Wonderful, thanks for sharing!
This technique definatley fixed it. I have experienced this issue at least once a year. As soon as I followed these directions. The problem was fixed. Thank you.
Great!
It boggles my mind how many MDs are absolutely clueless about BPPV and what to do about it. My wife is a DC and has had to do this with many people AFTER they had already been in to see MDs putting them through all kinds of tests.
Very true!
I know right??? They are unfortunately like robots 🤖 only programmed for Meds. I asked a freshly graduated med school doc one time how many semesters on nutrition he got in his 6 years. He said a 1/2 semester.
All the rest was studying mostly pharmaceutical drugs.
That's insane. Can't wait for our corrupt med system to go down!
Dr John, Thank You sir !!!!
I couldn’t believe I found this video and the symptom description matched mine exactly. I first felt it getting out of bed quickly and I almost fell over. From there the worry began and a lot of sleepless nights and a bit of fear. Low and behold, the test was strongly positive. I did the procedure twice bag firmly in hand and some serious grunting to get through it. No vomit but pretty spinny is an understatement. Worth every bit.
Next day I was prepared for more reps….. nothing! Gone ! I attribute mine to some very intense workouts and tons of golfing almost every day for months.
I am very grateful and I wish you good Khama sir. I am sooo grateful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad to hear it...all the best!
Thank you so much for this video. You explained it very clearly and now I’m ready to try it.
You are so welcome!
Home health PTA here. I don’t frequently get to work with BPPV patients but have one now and this was a great, succinct refresher and quality video. Thanks for sharing and treating!
Thanks for watching!
I have suffered from Vertigo in the past... This video was fabulous, clear, concise and well demonstrated. Thank you so much for such a wonderful explanation. Hopefully, my Vertigo does not reappear after viewing this video.😊
Glad it was helpful!
I was doing high intensity exercise & then had sudden vertigo & vomited. This was the second occurrence of having bppv...I have c4-5 disc bulge too. I'm currently taking betahistine but its making me more drousy, going to do the exercises instead. Thanks for your video, good explanation & demonstration too👍
Thanks for watching and glad you found my video helpful!
Im 14 and i have vertigo,im scared currently in my bed.I seen this and i almost cried because i didn't know what to do.Ty❤❤
I hope my video helps you - best wishes.
Thank a lots,, m suffering from vertigo, dizziness, ringing in the ear, nausea,,, I checked your video and practiced exercise and it really help me, m getting improved, m going to practice more, hopefully I ll get completely heal. Once again thank you. God bless you
I wish you a complete recovery!
Did you get any relief from the ringing?
My doctor told me to lie down on my side quickly and wait for the dizziness to go away. But he told me to do the movement repeatedly up to 10 times! Each time the dizziness would be less severe. And then if still dizzy, repeat the exercise.
It sounds like they recommended the Epley as demonstrated in this video.
I was diagnosed by BPPV, my vertigo is already 1 week. Last night, I didn't sleep whole night, scared of sleeping because of my vertigo. And I hope that this method will help me, I will try this at home.
You got this!
Thank you. I realize the young person sent to see me in the hospital was clueless and completely mis-performed this maneuver - - and was highly impatient. She snapped my neck so hard and fast it felt like whip lash.
Sorry to hear that. :(
I went to a chiropractor my sister-in-law keep recommending and I think it made me a lot worse. I mean he caused me a lot of pain.
Oh my goodness this really works. 🙏🙏🙏 thank you so much for sharing this video. I woke this morning with severe dizziness and vomiting but after 6 attempts with this manoeuvre I’m completely fine.
I’m 69 yrs old and had this about 15 years ago when it took almost 2 weeks to recover naturally. My doctor only prescribed anti nausea medication. I’m currently in travelling alone around Australia in my Motorhome so you can imagine what a problem this could have been for me. 🙏😍
Wonderful!
@dianawallis1098 how are u now??
Thank you for this video. I have been treated twice now for BPPV and I feel just plain awful afterwards. I usually shake for half an hour. and I have to sit in the waiting room for quite a while before I can drive myself home. With your video, I hope I can do some training at home. My balance is really off.
You got this!
Can u do this without spinning, like dizziness?
I can almost always draw a line from the onset of BPPV symptoms to a period of dehydration or higher salt intake. Posterior canal is the usual culprit, so Epley maneuver usually fixes it, but I have to take Bonine (meclizine HCl 10 mg) or similar about 40 mins before doing them to avoid barfing.
Thanks for sharing. :)
Yes my doctor told me to take some meclizine before exercise if hardcore spinning occurs….will try the pill prior. Thanks
I got vertigo 3 days ago, emergency doctor did ctscan for my brain, blood check but they could not find any problems. I can say l have low vitamin d and b12. 5 days ago l left swimming pool and first time l felt unbalanced and now l am having this vertigo so strong even l cannot eat my food 😔 I lost 10 lbs and l cannot even work. I am trying this technique. Hopefully it works
I hope this video helps you...best wishes.
I’m going threw it also did it work for you hoping for the best for you
Going through the exact same thing, even was admitted into hospital, could not stop throwing up... ran a ton of tests, was told Vertigo, given Antivert and discharged.. Can't get into even see an ENT for 2 months and long wait for Vertigo therapy.. antivert doesn't help much.. with no other help in sight, I'm going to give this a try. 🙏 It's been pretty horrible, never had it before now.
The doctor must check your ears first what type of vertigo you have maybe you have a syndrome on mernier dissease, watch out. Another case its if you have anxious, panic or fear then you have a vertigo and dizzyness.
My doctor consult me some tranquilizers like Xanax because i have a vertigo, i have syndrome of mernier and also i have neck pain.
They help me a little, its killing the symptoms from the vertigo but its not final treatment to take drugs.
Try to take Vomex, or Antivom for a while to see how its going, those medicines i mentioned its for vertigo but you dont take it for a long time, after your vertigo has been healed up cut the medicines.
I hope the best for you
Try electrolytes
I have all of those ear back problem neck. And also started from a muscle broken through tibia. Will try this thank you! I've had static in both ears for over 3 weeks. Also had a bad rotator cuff and shoulder I definitely feel like im losing balance. Definitely worth a try also my right eye hurts like pain like someone is stinging it/jabbing a knife through it... would greatly appreciate your insight please! 🙏 merry xmas!
Sorry to hear all of this. Please discuss this with your doctor. I hope you find my videos helpful. Merry Christmas.
Thks!!!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much for this video. I experienced this for the first time this morning when I got out of bed. So weird!! I sat up quickly because I realized i had overslept. I didn’t open my eyes until I was in an upright position. The first thing I saw was the ceiling fan spinning. But my eyes followed the blades uncontrollably. All this in a matter of seconds. I stood up and quickly sat back down, feeling nauseous. I closed my eyes to make it stop but when I opened them back up they were still in motion. Not knowing what was happening I stood up, walked towards the bathroom and nearly fell over. I held on to the walls until I sat down on the toilet. Still spinning, but I put my head down, closed my eyes, and it eventually stopped. All in all about a couple of minutes. I do have an inner ear issue, also neck issues as well as ankylosing spondylitis. But, this has never happened to me before. Can it be a one time thing? I will mention it to my doctors. I don’t want to go through that ever again!!!
Thanks for watching...I hope you find my videos helpful.
Hi Dr Jon. Greetings from Bonnie Scotland! Thank you so much!! My vertigo was really getting me down I'm soooo glad I found this video I completed this move this morning. ( hubby had the sick bag at the ready 😂) It worked the first time!! I can't quite believe it. Can I go back to pilates and the gym now or should I wait a few days? X
Wonderful! I'd wait a day or 2 for things to calm down...best wishes!
@@drjonsaunders Thank you 😊
Such an informative and useful video ! Watched tons of videos on RUclips but this one was simple and easy to follow along! Thank you!!! 🫶🏻🤍
Glad it was helpful!
My dizziness makes me feel so frustrated so I’ll definitely try your method 😊
You got this...thanks for watching!
the epley maneuver is not for dizziness , its for vertigo caused by BPPV. You might want to do vestibular therapy (eye exercises) for dizziness.
Did your dizziness go away?
Your video is clear and easy to understand. My vertigo when I do according to your test is on the right. My question is by being patient, do I really have to continue doing it because when my head is 45 degrees on the right at lying position, when the spinning dizziness starts it seems intolerable so I turn to left to and dizzines is relieved. If I try endure the dizzines until I vomit, are you sure dizziness will dissipate? Or maybe worsens and why?
Typically you have to endure the vertigo when doing the maneuver in each position. Best wishes.
I always fall to my right side. Never to the left. I have been dizzy at times. When I have I notice I go to the right. In the past I have fallen a couple of times down a flight of stairs. The 1st time I hit my head on a heavy wooden post and a few days later I had a concussion. I have had migraine attacks and ocular migraines. I am currently working on pt excercises for frozen shoulder. I ran across your video. I want to try these excercises you suggested. I have a lot going on right now health wise. I just recently started with bouts of severe dizziness. This makes sense to me. I will try it out. Thank you for your help and suggestions. I have kept up with my doctor as well.
I hope this video helps you!
Thank you. I'm taking it slow. I start tomorrow. It's been a very busy weekend. I did notice that I was going off to the right when we were working the Rockies game. I told my husband I felt a little lightheaded. I am glad I caught this video. Thank you. I will keep working at it. Thank you for your suggestions. I have already tried sitting straighter. I do remember that one of the therapist had me bring my hand over to the other side of my head and gently pull and hold for a count of 5. Thanks again. I appreciate these videos more than you know. I will be watching and learning better ways to take care of myself. I already mentioned you to my husband. Maybe he will try it to. Thanks again.
Boa tarde de Portugal
Como sei se é do lado direito ou do esquerdo!?
Obrigada pela partilha….
Cumprimentos
I explain how to determine what size in the video. :)
I have done this and my vertigo improved tremendously. Thanks doc.
My pleasure!
Why do I hear like bubble sounds in my ear. Healing? I did this exercise and it helped. I will continue. Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful!
I have a bubbling on my right ear, When I lied to my left side, did this maneuver help you permanently? I’ve done a few days now and every time I lay down I still spin, so I don’t understand how it’s supposed to fix it. days after doing the maneuver for it to fix it?
Thank you, Dr Jon I tried the Epley manoeuvre after having Vertigo for over a week I have done it quite a few times now and at last I woke this morning without any dizziness I would like to know after the dizziness has gone should I keep doing the manoeuvre or stop it thank for an amazing video
Once your vertigo is gone, there is no need to continue doing the maneuver....take good care!
I found out one of the reasons for my vertigo was because my jaw was out of alignment. When opening mouth and hearing a clicking noise and putting fingers at base of jaw feeling that jaw bone out of alignment is the sign. In talking with jaw PT specialist, she taught me how to get the jaw back in alignment. Also, ENT said to stop yawning big and instead train myself to yawn with mouth barely opened. After dentist visits I always have to put my jaw back in alignment and somehow this whole jaw out of alignment contributes to the ear problem that contributes to vertigo. Also, ENT told me to actually put myself into vertigo daily and then don't fight it; just let it work itself out. It was a matter of training the brain. After about a month of this my vertigo became less and less. I get vertigo a couple of times a year now and when I do I always check to see if my jaw is out of alignment and if so, I do the quick exercise to help get it back in alignment then I don't fight the vertigo. When I do have vertigo now, I only have it for seconds vs days or a month as before. Interestingly, in my ortho surgeon office, when I told the radiologist as I was laying down now to help me but let me do it so I didn't get vertigo, he shared his experience with me. He had vertigo for years and then also did same thing...put himself in vertigo everyday and unfortunately a side effect can be throwing up, but then don't fight it. He was also told this trained the brain and his vertigo is also virtually gone. But, he said his took longer to get rid of than mine. I did this maneuver but it didn't solve my problem but will for some. Just sharing my experience.
Good share. :)
This is quite astonishing. I suddenly found myself having spinning sensations getting up and laying down. I followed this video and sure enough everything was true including vomiting. Will continue to self treat and see how it goes.
Best of luck!
Will this help ringing in the ears?
Thank you for sharing. I'll give it a go. How do I know which ear? This has been going on for over 3 yeats. It was worse when Dr Perscribed Gabapentin for neuropathy. I have discontinued use for several years now.
Do the Dix-Hallpike test I talk about in the video. All the best.
@@drjonsaundershello Dr, do you do this exercise once a day, or about 7 times for one session, how often should this be done, thank you
Excellent. Thank you Dr Jon. It seems promissing. Will let you know the results. Just a question. The third step, when you turn on your left body side and stay ther for a while, should be repeated on the righ side of the body?
Only do the affected side! :)
@@drjonsaunders thank you.
