@@AskDoctorJo HELLO ,,, CAN EVERYBODY APPLY THIS TREATMENT WITHOUT A DOCTOR ? MY MOM TRIED MANY MEDICINES FROM DOCTORS AND MADE MANY TESTS IN HOSPITAL LIKE EMAR,, BUT NOT RECEOVERED..MAYBE I SHOULD DO THIS FOR MY MOM ? WHATS YOUR OPINION ?
Good Day Dr.🥰i just wanna ask if there is a medicene for Vertigo?im just tired of having a vertigo.i cant work very well and uncomfortable...please Doc.🥰
I’ve had really bad vertigo for the most part of my life. No doctor could help me. Vomiting every morning room spinning. Queezy stomach when I lay down or get up. After doing the epley maneuver my quality of life boosted 10 fold. Thank you!
What? No 5 minute banter about how you two are the best physio on the internet before the demo? that's exactly what people who's suffering from vertigo need. Great demo, thank you.
I just my first vertigo episode 10 days ago. I never knew much about vertigo or that it could make someone believe they're about to die if they've never had it before. I called 911 because I thought something horrible was happening. Well it was a very horrible experience. Been to the doctor a couple times since and my last visit I went to an ear doctor and my doctor showed me this maneuver. I think it does help for sure in this video was a good reminder to re-explain it to me. I'm still experiencing the vertigo now and I I'm getting really frustrated especially knowing that it's something I'll have to deal with from now on.
I had the worst vertigo ever for several months to the point I couldn't walk anymore work or do anything even called an ambulance once cuz it scared me so bad. I went to ear nose and throat doctor and she did this to me and instantaneously the vertigo was gone and it's never been back. Who would have thought something so simple I was absolutely flabbergasted and relieved at the same time. If you have vertigo have your doc do this Thank you for the video!!!😊
Boy oh boy, you’re giving me hope. I am brand new to this vertigo. It’s come on slowly over the last three months and I’ve had about seven really bad about of the room spinning. But you’re giving me hope that this can come to an end. I have an appointment with the ENT doctor in about a week
Thank you. The 1st time I did this I did not get the results I was looking for but 2 days later I repeated it but for about 2 minuets each step and it worked. 2 months later it returned however I just repeated the maneuver and it works. Life is so much better.
David Bigar my physio did this for me and said it had to be 2 minutes each time you move your head . It work but i still need to do it again because its not 100% yet.
Thx so much!!! Just had my first experience with this! My daughter-in-law called from the ER..she is the Dr. on duty and told me to look this up since I was in no shape to drive to her!!! Couldn’t open my eyes to do a search of until it was over but now I have you subscribed and saved!!!
OMG this exercise does magic. I had a severe benign vertigo for 3 days that I had to go to ER. I was like paralyzed doing nothing but severe terrible dizziness. After few times of doing this exercise I got MUCH better and now I’m doing perfect. Absolutely the best vertigo treatment. Thank you 🙏
I got diagnosed with vertigo yesterday. I watched your video with my wife about three times and we thought that you two were very clear in your explanation. We also find your delivery very light and comforting!
This is the only thing that helps my mom when she has an occasional episode of vertigo. We’ve been doing it for years. It helps her recover much faster instead of taking days.
This works for me! I had a vertigo a few years ago, after I did this maneuver a few times, it was all gone! That was my first vertigo and the only one so far in my entire life. Strongly recommend this maneuver to any vertigo patients. Thank you doc!
I've been suffering for a month now stemming from a ear infection,I was told about this movement from a friend and have just watched i will be trying this a few times fingers crossed
Oh my god...it's really amazing...and working...I have been suffering with vertigo since 1 week...I did just single time this experiment... finally I got solution...thank you very much...
I LOVE physical therapists! They are Angels. I suffered from vertigo for nearly a month while various doctors tested and diagnosed me. I continued to work and working down the hallways was un-nerving. I finally got an appt.set up with PT. I saw the therapist, explained my situation and immediately began the BPPV procedure, while she watch my eyes rolling trying to find the horizon.after about 10 minutes the steps were complete and the eyes had it. I was CURED!!! God bless you all. 😇
I’ve had vertigo for over a year and a half now and nobody in my family believed me until a few months ago they thought I was just naturally always dizzy so I found this video and hope it helps
Awesome. I bumped my head a couple weeks back. I had a headache right away and slight vertigo since then. I did these exercises for the first time 2 days ago, felt like I was going to throw up. I've done it 3-4 more times and my symptoms are almost gone.
I had no idea before. I am a professional fighter, and head spinning was never my issue. But I changed my sleeping position from right ear to left, and a year later, I am so scared of height and escalators. It really was strange to me.
I am 23 years old and just got diagnosed with vertigo .... it happened out of nowhere. Just started to feel imbalance and 1 week later ... I was feeling ill and dizzy all damn day for up to 5 days straight. Medicine doesn’t seem to work so now I am seeing a therapist
I had vertigo many years in my 30s, then it reappeared in my late 40s but seems to be happening more often now that I’m 50. In the past, I could perform the Epley maneuver and it worked whenever I got vertigo or feeling super dizzy. Now, it’s been a little over a week and though it’s better, I still get dizzy if I bend over certain ways throughout the day. I’ll go home and try to lay back to reset the crystals but won’t get dizzy. It’s only when I bend over.
Read what I said here about my wife's experience. "My wife had vertigo for over 20 years. She went to a physio who said that my wife had the worst case she had seen. She explained that there are a number of procedures, including Epley, in order to address vertigo. My wife underwent treatment for one session, using an Epley type procedure. She went back, and the physio said the BPPV (vertigo) was completely gone. It seems incredible, but can be easily fixed." Advice: Get a person who really knows what they are doing. Ask around locally, and find someone very competent. The vertgo problem is about misplaced crystals in your ear canal. The procedure is horrible, with everything spinning according to my wife, but well worth it. Your vertigo will be gone!
@@ElTr3s13 I think you have to ask around, and source a person who really knows what they are doing. Ask your friends and family to help you with your research. Even ask around the hospitals. They know who is the correct person. You will probably find the person is popular and busy. What I was trying to point out is that the problem is quite solveable.
So glad I found this! Had several days last week of vertigo. Worst vertigo I've had yet. Anyway after doing this got great relief the day after doing. Thank you!!!!!
I used this video after 3 weeks of being patient for post-Covid vertigo spells. It’s only been two days but it appears this maneuver cured me. Thanks for the demonstration.
Dr Jo this is incredible. My mother has been suffering from severe vertigo attacks for years and yesterday was such a horrible one that i had to search vertigo relief on YT and your video came up, we tried this maneuver and it was over in half an hour. INCREDIBLE!
In 2001 I had BPPV and went through this procedure. It is scary and tough to suffer through...especially when you don't know what is happening to you. It caused many sleepless nights, time away from work, and anxiety attacks. Thankfully our hospital has a vestibular rehab center and they were able to treat me. I never found out what the root cause was, I wish I knew, but I know I never want to go through BPPV again.
Mike Whitford iam going thru the same thing with vertigo it’s so scary.my anxiety attacks are getting worst.Thank you for sharing for sure I will look for a vestilar rehab wish the best god bless
I'm having BPPV it started yesterday. I told my parents that it's vertigo but they didn't believe me. They instead said I ate too much food last night, and my stomach didn't digest the food and that caused dizziness. I vomitted countless times it was quite hard for me to vomit. I treated my vertigo yesterday it was gone. But it came back earlier. I can't handle the extreme dizziness. There was this time a thought came to my head. It's better to die than to feel this extreme dizziness forever. I'm having vertigo and at the same time the mucus(phlegm) is thick. I have multiple vertigos. I'm all alone facing this problem.
Your video was incredibly clear and easy to follow. I did this maneuver to myself and I worked the first time. No kidding! Wow. Thank you so much. I could barely make it across the floor when I woke up this morning. Now it’s all gone. Thank you again.
I've read a meta-study that said doing so isn't helpful. I also saw another video by another pair of physical therapists who say they just have the patient stay upright "the rest of the day" and sleep somewhat elevated if they can, for a single night. Most likely, it's not going to make a significant difference either way, and you can repeat the maneuver for as many days as needed, anyway.
Glad found this video, my mom was suffer last night and i try this method 3 times then she's puke and sleep.... Next in the morning she feel so much much better, thank you very much doctor! I love you ❤❤
I have had vertigo for as long as I remember I'm 27 years old. It's really scary, and the worst part of it is that is can come out of nowhere. 3 days ago I went to bed pefectly fine, no signs of vertigo and woke up to nonstop spinning for about 20 minutes. When I walk I feel like the whole earth shakes. I found your video, but it scared me to try it becuase of your "trigger warning" in the begining. My question: what can really go wrong if someone unprofessional does it?
Thank You for the video. I have Ben doing these exercises for 3 years now. I have seen other videos but this one done by you recommends to sleep upright. Great idea and new to me. Many blessings.
Thank you so much Dr, i attempted this as an ignorant lone wolf at home and it still provided me a partial relief. Can't wait to see my SO or some friends later in the day to try again with their help and reach success. I was so dumbfounded yesterday but now I went from yucky debilitation to slight spins that won't stop me from working at home and cooking anymore. 👍👍🙏🙏
Good demonstration! I am an OT and studied under Dr, Cohen OTR, Dr Herndon PT, Dr Cronin OT two decades ago and have been so fortunate to help so many persons with the CRM. Have a great day.
Thanks for your video. This maneuver works very well for BPPV. unfortunately I also have episodes of vertigo from a stroke that don’t respond to any maneuvers. It’s nice to have relief some of the time though.
You're welcome. Sorry you are still having some vertigo issues. Have you tried vestibular rehab? Something like a Balance Master might help if you live near a clinic that has one.
AskDoctorJo Yes I have, and that’s great advice. Ultimately my physical therapist had me doing all necessary exercises for vestibular rehab which helped tremendously. I still have occasional vertigo from stroke fatigue but it’s better. After the stroke, I also needed PT for a loss of spacial acclimation. After being in the hospital my brain couldn’t adapt to larger spaces. Gradually and slowly building my brain’s ability to process open spaces took years of effort. Many of the concepts I used to improve, I fashioned from balance disorder PT. I’m doing much better now. PT is all about the details.
Definitely, and PT is something that you can go to for a "tune up." You don't necessarily have to have a new injury to go back every once in a while. Good luck.
I took my son camping in a tent in 2017, it went from hot to cold and damp and I didn't sleep well if at all, and I woke up the next morning and fell over after sitting up in the tent. It was so bad I thought i had a stroke or something, had never had vertigo before. I was so off balance, I couldn't turn my head on the trip back while driving and had to take it very slow. Ended up getting a CT or mri to be safe, which was normal, and a week later an ENT did eply in his office, and I was 100% cured. I couldn't believe it. I've done it from home a couple of times since, and it always helps, though not to the effect the ENT had.
I have vestibular hypofunction I've been getting physical therapy for...then the positional vertigo hits. I've been in such bad shape. Violent shaking along with the dizziness. I live alone too. Had a bad fall from this nonsense couple months back, it was a BAD FALL! Having bad vertigo is frightening.. especially the first episode. I thought i was having a stroke. Mine was caused by allergies, sinus infections.. chronic. I have a friend coming today to help with this exercise because i can't drive to go to PT to have them do it. It does work. But for us that also have other issues? Seek professional help. My heart goes out to all suffers..no one can understand how awful vertigo is till it happens to them.
I follow this video every morning and before bed. I wanted to point out that according to my doctors at the hospital, nystagmus is not always present on BPPV. I was tested for other possibilities but when the exercises they performed helped me, and CT and MRI were clear, this was the diagnoses I rec'd.
My eyes don’t move back and forth either. I still get sinus caused annually, and cervical from injuries. Thank goodness I missed last year’s annual visit of vertigo. I think the year before as well. Pollen has been heavy this year, and I’ve forgotten to put my mask on to protect me.
Thank you!!!Is it OK if I keep my eyes closed when I do this procedure (just open them enough for my husband to see if my eyes are moving around). Also, is it ok if I take Dramamine an hour before I do the procedure so that I feel less nauseous?
You're welcome, and thank you for your support! It possible, your eyes should stay open, and it is recommend to not take medication before the procedure, but it can be taken to reduce symptoms.
Thanks for this wonderful video. I get vertigo about once a year and it's pretty awful. The last time lasted for five days. The doctor just gave me Dramamine.
I had this done yesterday by an ENT surgeon but he knocked my head above my right ear as he gently moved my head from right to left. When he brought my body up from the left lying position I couldn't believe that I felt no nausea and no spinning. Vertigo was gone!
Knocked gently by the knuckle above my right ear as the dr moved my head according to the Epley Maneuver as told by Dr Jo. It has worked and I have no more vertigo! You need to follow all that she says about 45° starting with the head on the right side and moving gently on to the left side, with eyes open etc. Check out her video - the maneuver needs to be done by a professional. Good luck.
2 years ago after contracting covid I ended up in hospital for a week with a migraine and vertigo which I couldn't shake. I had the Epley treatment by a physio for awhile once out of hospital. It seemed to help. It did make me quite nauseous during the treatment. Now I seem to get vertigo when I get headaches which is often or when I lay down to sleep.
Ive suffered with vertigo since being hit by a car at age 5. Also scarred on left cheek . I had this procedure performed on me about 10 yrs ago , was told it helps , makes it worse , or just doesn't effect different people . Thank god it helped me straight away . I had nothing then for a few years but it does come back from time to time . And every time i wake up with it , but at least now i know the cause and try.and mobe them crystals back to where they should be . So glad i discovered this treatment .
Hello Dr. Jo. First of all, thank you for the detailed explanation on the Epley maneuver. I suffered from vertigo after getting hit in the back of my head. This maneuver cured the vertigo, but I have been feeling a little dizzy and off-balance afterwards. I heard that this is called residual bppv, and it takes a while for your body to adjust. My question is, how long would it take for the dizziness or light headed feeling to go away after this maneuver is done. Thank you again for your help!
You're welcome! It really depends on how severe your case was to begin with. You can do follow up maneuvers with this video that might help with the rest: www.askdoctorjo.com/content/vertigo-treatment-simple-exercises-bppv Good luck.
great video.my ENT M.D did it and successful bt it came back after 6 days.I went back and he tested me and said I'm better.Sent me to PT.waiting to get better.
I am going to research that type of doctor today. I’ve viewed all of your videos as well as others and although I feel lightheaded, I cannot set off an actual episode of vertigo. I need an expert I believe.
I always do it on myself. Just lie on your bed. Your whole head doesn't need to hang off the bed with someone holding it. You can just go to the edge where your head is tilted back but supported by the bed.
This video was super informative, thank you. I was diagnosed with vertigo last week, and I haven't really been experiencing spinning, more so just lightheadedness and nausea. This is the maneuver that the doctor told me i need to do to get rid of it, but she didn't really explain it all that well, and so far i haven't noticed any improvement at all, so i either have a different kind of vertigo, or I've been doing this maneuver wrong all week
You're welcome. If there is any way you can go see a physical therapist who specializes in vestibular rehab, they should be able to evaluate you and help you figure out what is going on.
@@AskDoctorJo i have an appointment with my family doctor on September 7th, she can refer me to the proper doctor from there if she can't help me herself
Will one epley fix BPPV? I have been so careful since the real bad vertigo that I am just off balance in the morning. I am going to an ENT Monday to have this maneuver done. I just want to be back to normal. Now I am anxious a lot and scared. I feel like it takes me 3 hours in the morning to get passed the anxiety and general off balance feeling. The shower is difficult and driving I get anxious.i will continue my daily activities because I have kids that need me. to live like this is awful. I am praying the epley works Monday and I can resume normal life. I hear sometimes it fixes people the first time. Praying that it does that for me! Thanks for the video
You're welcome. Sometimes it does, but sometimes it takes a time or two. If you want to try another move you can do yourself, it might also help, but it might make you feel a little worse before feeling better: www.askdoctorjo.com/content/vertigo-treatment-simple-exercises-bppv Good luck.
@Deepak M I had it again two weeks ago. Took three times. I had too much to drink the night before and I think I was dehydrated it finally went away but it took some time. Thank you for writing back
I used one of those pillows one buys for long airplane flights. It helps my head stay in the position required so the crystals can go back to where they belong. And it’s comfortable.
You are the first one to say we need to keep our head up for 48 hours...it seemed to me we needed to do that since the crystals remember where they were and may want to return..
Some research does show that it is no longer necessary, but I still think it gives you a better chance of keeping the crystals in place. It's at least worth trying.
Thank you Dr. Jo for sharing this video. I’m just having the BPPV when I wake this morning, and searching for the treatment in youtube. I will ask someone in my family to learn your video, and treat it to me. My question is, how many time should I do this in a day, how many days and when the right time? Thank you, doctor Jo...🙏🙏
You're welcome. This particular one should only be done once. If it's truly BPPV, that is often enough. You might have to repeat it in a few days, but give it some time to work before trying again.
I'm not sure I could go through with this, my dizziness is quite violent and I would instinctively have to sit up and try and grab hold of something. It actually feels like the room tips and I am falling. :s
on one of the other examples of the Epley maneuver they had the patient turn and face the floor for 30 sec b3fore getting up.Any comments? Thank you for the very clear presentation.
It's been 6 years,I feel imbalanced and my balance worsens when I close my eyes or in dark...Does anybody have this?Please reply it will boost my confidence.
I’m sorry you go thru this. It must be just awful. Maybe you can get someone you trust to help you with this maneuver. And I cannot find replies on my yt, so if you reply I won’t know! I’m sorry!
This is something that you may need help with from a doctor and licensed physical therapist. The initial procedure helped, but I had remaining diziness and disorientation that a physical therapist helped me with. Please seek the help needed.
I don’t know if I have bppv, the dr suggested it ages ago and then it came back really bad yesterday, tried this and today I was so much better, done it again tonight because walking set me off again, hope it helps again in the morning!
Thank you for the video! Other videos I've watched say that the new recommendation is only until the next day, not 48 hours anymore. Do you know that to be true? Thanks so much!
You're welcome! Most research shows that the time doesn't matter quite as much anymore as long as you are not making big head movements immediately afterwards.
Thank you for the video.I am dealing with Vertigo and Tinitus which l got serving in military at same time.l can only say it’s very depressing and effects whole family and way of life.Good luck everyone.
Okay i literally just finished my first try. Let's see :( Edit : it worked!!! Thank you so much ❤️ don't be afraid when you see the world going crazy as you look down 😂
Great instructional video. Attempted doing this to myself but naturally it is difficult. Anyway, not positive that this type or even vertigo is what I'm afflicted with. It's scary....
If your right side is affected then do your right side. If your other side is not affected there is no reason to do it. If for some reason its both ears, it doesn't matter which you do first.
I did the Epley this morning from memory of when a PT I saw previously for BPPV had performed it on me. I'm not sure it worked because I did not feel dizzy in the other two positions (I worry I didn't have the angle right after watching your video) and now I'm feeling spacey and lightheaded even just sitting on the couch. Can I repeat it still today since I didn't feel dizziness in all 3 positions?
Dr , i have done this epley manuver exercise 2 years back .I 'm alright all these years, but suddenly when i bend down to wash my head , ithis vertigo started again . I again did this exercise yesterday . Now i'm feeling better . I want to ask you why this happen again.
I personally wouldn't. Once you do the maneuver, it should get the crystals back in the right place. Repeating it so quickly might disrupt that. Good luck.
When I was diagnosed by the doctor, she said it was on the left side. I did this Epley Maneuver at the physio, and then at home a couple of days later. On both occasions I felt nauseous and headachy for hours after - is this normal? I slept sitting up with a soft collar, but getting out of bed and getting ready for the day i still felt disoriented. also when i did this i felt equally dizzy on both sides. this began a week ago. The symptoms began Sunday, Saw Dr on Monday, did the Brandt-Daroff exercise 3 times a day for 2 days, Wednesday, went to the physio to have the Epley Maneuver done, felt awful directly after the procedure and the following day, Friday things were looking up, then went back to the physio for some neck work, then when I was sitting up after treatment all the symptoms returned with a vengence. He then did the maneuver again and I had all the normal spinning symptoms, but again felt disoriented that night and the next day - Saturday. I decided to do the Maneuver myself that night (last night) - i still feel awful, hence my questions. thanks for your video, is very comprehensive, and I do this at home again, I will have someone help me as per your instructions
When you say you feel equally dizzy on both sides, are you doing the Epley on both sides or do you mean you feel dizzy when you turn both ways? Usually the symptoms only last for an hour or two later, but shouldn't last for days later. Sometimes the crystals are out in different canals, and a different technique is required. Unfortunately, I don't really know without getting to evaluate you. I would recommend asking your PT about it, and if he says those long effects are normal or doesn't have an explanation, I would see if you can get another therapist. Good luck.
I finally had a neuro do this a couple years ago. I immediately threw up upon sitting up. I’ve since then been battling bppv off and on. I kept trying it by myself and I’d get sick like I did before but it keeps coming back. Turns out I’ve been missing the second step. I would just go from the right to on my left side 🙃 gonna try this now.

This is by far the best video on youtube. Very clear instructions. (This is what I performed on my husband, and it worked.) Thank you!
Thanks, and you're welcome! I'm glad it helped.
❤Thanks! I do this for my wife, and it works every time!! ❤
You're welcome, and thank you for your support!
Awesome. I bumped my head a couple weeks back. I had a headache right away and slight vertigo since then. I did these exercises for the first time 2 days ago, felt like I was going to throw up. I've done it 3-4 more times and my symptoms are almost gone.
The nausea is real i just did 1 im afraid to do it again
@@operamom3303 hope its gone by now. It only took me a couple days to feel back to normal. Its been 2 years and have no noticeable symptoms
I had no idea before. I am a professional fighter, and head spinning was never my issue. But I changed my sleeping position from right ear to left, and a year later, I am so scared of height and escalators. It really was strange to me.
I am 23 years old and just got diagnosed with vertigo .... it happened out of nowhere. Just started to feel imbalance and 1 week later ... I was feeling ill and dizzy all damn day for up to 5 days straight. Medicine doesn’t seem to work so now I am seeing a therapist
Does the therapist help? Hopefully you feel better.
Same here. I have for 1 yr now
I had vertigo many years in my 30s, then it reappeared in my late 40s but seems to be happening more often now that I’m 50. In the past, I could perform the Epley maneuver and it worked whenever I got vertigo or feeling super dizzy. Now, it’s been a little over a week and though it’s better, I still get dizzy if I bend over certain ways throughout the day. I’ll go home and try to lay back to reset the crystals but won’t get dizzy. It’s only when I bend over.
Read what I said here about my wife's experience.
"My wife had vertigo for over 20 years. She went to a physio who said that my wife had the worst case she had seen. She explained that there are a number of procedures, including Epley, in order to address vertigo. My wife underwent treatment for one session, using an Epley type procedure. She went back, and the physio said the BPPV (vertigo) was completely gone. It seems incredible, but can be easily fixed."
Advice: Get a person who really knows what they are doing. Ask around locally, and find someone very competent. The vertgo problem is about misplaced crystals in your ear canal. The procedure is horrible, with everything spinning according to my wife, but well worth it. Your vertigo will be gone!
@@peace-now how does one find the right help without professional messing you up even more
@@ElTr3s13 I think you have to ask around, and source a person who really knows what they are doing. Ask your friends and family to help you with your research. Even ask around the hospitals. They know who is the correct person. You will probably find the person is popular and busy. What I was trying to point out is that the problem is quite solveable.
@@peace-now thanks man ill forsure look into that
my doctor referred me to a Neuro rehab facility. They have a dedicated staff person that does Epley maneuver.
So glad I found this! Had several days last week of vertigo. Worst vertigo I've had yet. Anyway after doing this got great relief the day after doing. Thank you!!!!!
You're welcome!
So we can feel the effect the day after doing epley? How are you now? I just got bppv from 4days ago
I cured my mom's vertigo with help of your video. I have read about Dix Hall picke and Epley maneuver but your demonstration is pretty good. Thanks. ❤
You're welcome.
Did your mom seat for 48 hours?
Very simple to do at home and by yourself.
I used this video after 3 weeks of being patient for post-Covid vertigo spells. It’s only been two days but it appears this maneuver cured me. Thanks for the demonstration.
You're welcome.
I’ve already been experiencing vertigo post-Covid. It’s been a newer development. Did the alleviation of your vertigo stick?
Wow I’ve been experiencing this since I got Covid in September started with sinus infection for 2 months and then it became vertigo
Dr Jo this is incredible. My mother has been suffering from severe vertigo attacks for years and yesterday was such a horrible one that i had to search vertigo relief on YT and your video came up, we tried this maneuver and it was over in half an hour. INCREDIBLE!
Glad it helped!
Does she still feel okay???
Thank you Dr.! It is a big help for everybody suffering from Vertigo. God bless you Dr..
You're welcome, and thanks! You too.
This was extremely helpful as the doctors, ent staff, ent surgeon....no one....has told me about this!
This worked for me over 10 years ago ❤️
In 2001 I had BPPV and went through this procedure. It is scary and tough to suffer through...especially when you don't know what is happening to you. It caused many sleepless nights, time away from work, and anxiety attacks. Thankfully our hospital has a vestibular rehab center and they were able to treat me. I never found out what the root cause was, I wish I knew, but I know I never want to go through BPPV again.
+Mike Whitford I am glad you were able to get the help you needed. It is definitely a scary thing. Good luck!
Mike Whitford iam going thru the same thing with vertigo it’s so scary.my anxiety attacks are getting worst.Thank you for sharing for sure I will look for a vestilar rehab wish the best god bless
i have same thing . just a little head movement make me dizzy , I don't know what to do I am now dpressed
I'm having BPPV it started yesterday. I told my parents that it's vertigo but they didn't believe me. They instead said I ate too much food last night, and my stomach didn't digest the food and that caused dizziness. I vomitted countless times it was quite hard for me to vomit. I treated my vertigo yesterday it was gone. But it came back earlier. I can't handle the extreme dizziness. There was this time a thought came to my head. It's better to die than to feel this extreme dizziness forever.
I'm having vertigo and at the same time the mucus(phlegm) is thick. I have multiple vertigos. I'm all alone facing this problem.
Did it happen again? Only once?
thank you, vertigo SUCKS so back. Eply does help. Gotta love Dr. Jo for all your knowledge.
You're welcome.
Experienced my first episode a few days ago. VERY disturbing. Really gets your attention.
Have you been able to find a solution?
Your video was incredibly clear and easy to follow. I did this maneuver to myself and I worked the first time. No kidding! Wow. Thank you so much. I could barely make it across the floor when I woke up this morning. Now it’s all gone. Thank you again.
You're welcome. Glad it helped!
Staying in upright position for 48 hours is the hardest part.
I've read a meta-study that said doing so isn't helpful. I also saw another video by another pair of physical therapists who say they just have the patient stay upright "the rest of the day" and sleep somewhat elevated if they can, for a single night. Most likely, it's not going to make a significant difference either way, and you can repeat the maneuver for as many days as needed, anyway.
Glad found this video, my mom was suffer last night and i try this method 3 times then she's puke and sleep.... Next in the morning she feel so much much better, thank you very much doctor! I love you ❤❤
You're welcome!
I have had vertigo for as long as I remember I'm 27 years old.
It's really scary, and the worst part of it is that is can come out of nowhere. 3 days ago I went to bed pefectly fine, no signs of vertigo and woke up to nonstop spinning for about 20 minutes. When I walk I feel like the whole earth shakes. I found your video, but it scared me to try it becuase of your "trigger warning" in the begining.
My question: what can really go wrong if someone unprofessional does it?
I'm in the same spot bro did you do it??
@@vdkk1269 I did it alone and it didn't stop the spinning. I am about to try again. I read a few times to do it longer than 30 seconds.
This works folks. Do it with confidence. Yes it feels crummy after but you will get better by the hour.
Thank You for the video. I have Ben doing these exercises for 3 years now. I have seen other videos but this one done by you recommends to sleep upright. Great idea and new to me. Many blessings.
You're welcome.
Thanks Dr Jo concerning my husband having vertigo lasting a month-he now is scheduled to see therapist soon just as you suggested-prayers to you-
You're welcome. I hope he gets some relief soon!
Thank you so much Dr, i attempted this as an ignorant lone wolf at home and it still provided me a partial relief. Can't wait to see my SO or some friends later in the day to try again with their help and reach success.
I was so dumbfounded yesterday but now I went from yucky debilitation to slight spins that won't stop me from working at home and cooking anymore. 👍👍🙏🙏
You're welcome. Glad it helped some.
Thanks!
You're welcome, and thank you for your support!
Good demonstration! I am an OT and studied under Dr, Cohen OTR, Dr Herndon PT, Dr Cronin OT two decades ago and have been so fortunate to help so many persons with the CRM. Have a great day.
Thanks! You too.
Thanks for your video. This maneuver works very well for BPPV. unfortunately I also have episodes of vertigo from a stroke that don’t respond to any maneuvers.
It’s nice to have relief some of the time though.
You're welcome. Sorry you are still having some vertigo issues. Have you tried vestibular rehab? Something like a Balance Master might help if you live near a clinic that has one.
AskDoctorJo
Yes I have, and that’s great advice. Ultimately my physical therapist had me doing all necessary exercises for vestibular rehab which helped tremendously. I still have occasional vertigo from stroke fatigue but it’s better.
After the stroke, I also needed PT for a loss of spacial acclimation. After being in the hospital my brain couldn’t adapt to larger spaces.
Gradually and slowly building my brain’s ability to process open spaces took years of effort. Many of the concepts I used to improve, I fashioned from balance disorder PT. I’m doing much better now.
PT is all about the details.
Definitely, and PT is something that you can go to for a "tune up." You don't necessarily have to have a new injury to go back every once in a while. Good luck.
my wife did this exercise after watching your video and it helped her . thank you
You're welcome.
How do you know if you should be doing the maneuver to the right or left?
You begin on the side of the nystagmus.
I took my son camping in a tent in 2017, it went from hot to cold and damp and I didn't sleep well if at all, and I woke up the next morning and fell over after sitting up in the tent. It was so bad I thought i had a stroke or something, had never had vertigo before. I was so off balance, I couldn't turn my head on the trip back while driving and had to take it very slow. Ended up getting a CT or mri to be safe, which was normal, and a week later an ENT did eply in his office, and I was 100% cured. I couldn't believe it. I've done it from home a couple of times since, and it always helps, though not to the effect the ENT had.
Dr just recommended it to my father, very helpful
Did he do it on his own? Did he feel sick?
@@tinaroberts135yeah he was sick, initially i helped him, now much better
@@LearningOnline24 thank you !
I have vestibular hypofunction I've been getting physical therapy for...then the positional vertigo hits. I've been in such bad shape. Violent shaking along with the dizziness. I live alone too. Had a bad fall from this nonsense couple months back, it was a BAD FALL! Having bad vertigo is frightening.. especially the first episode. I thought i was having a stroke. Mine was caused by allergies, sinus infections.. chronic. I have a friend coming today to help with this exercise because i can't drive to go to PT to have them do it. It does work. But for us that also have other issues? Seek professional help. My heart goes out to all suffers..no one can understand how awful vertigo is till it happens to them.
I follow this video every morning and before bed. I wanted to point out that according to my doctors at the hospital, nystagmus is not always present on BPPV. I was tested for other possibilities but when the exercises they performed helped me, and CT and MRI were clear, this was the diagnoses I rec'd.
Its one of the worse symptoms in the world
My eyes don’t move back and forth either. I still get sinus caused annually, and cervical from injuries. Thank goodness I missed last year’s annual visit of vertigo. I think the year before as well. Pollen has been heavy this year, and I’ve forgotten to put my mask on to protect me.
Thank you!!!Is it OK if I keep my eyes closed when I do this procedure (just open them enough for my husband to see if my eyes are moving around). Also, is it ok if I take Dramamine an hour before I do the procedure so that I feel less nauseous?
You're welcome, and thank you for your support! It possible, your eyes should stay open, and it is recommend to not take medication before the procedure, but it can be taken to reduce symptoms.
Thanks for this wonderful video. I get vertigo about once a year and it's pretty awful. The last time lasted for five days. The doctor just gave me Dramamine.
You're welcome. Good luck!
I had this done yesterday by an ENT surgeon but he knocked my head above my right ear as he gently moved my head from right to left. When he brought my body up from the left lying position I couldn't believe that I felt no nausea and no spinning. Vertigo was gone!
It definitely helps!
Knocked as in how?
I need relief! My vertigo has been subtle but almost constant for 3 months
Knocked gently by the knuckle above my right ear as the dr moved my head according to the Epley Maneuver as told by Dr Jo. It has worked and I have no more vertigo! You need to follow all that she says about 45° starting with the head on the right side and moving gently on to the left side, with eyes open etc. Check out her video - the maneuver needs to be done by a professional. Good luck.
Dr. Jo! Thank you so much for this. I had only had to do the maneuver twice and I felt 100x better.
You're welcome. I'm glad it helped!
Hi where did you go?
excellent video, so easy to follow and well done, thanks a million. my wife has been suffering for 2 weeks, hope this clears it.:)
Thanks, and you're welcome. I hope it helps too.
I Does this any my hearbeat increases..is that common thing?
2 years ago after contracting covid I ended up in hospital for a week with a migraine and vertigo which I couldn't shake. I had the Epley treatment by a physio for awhile once out of hospital. It seemed to help. It did make me quite nauseous during the treatment. Now I seem to get vertigo when I get headaches which is often or when I lay down to sleep.
God bless you for this movie doctor. This exercise works perfectly.
Thanks.
Ive suffered with vertigo since being hit by a car at age 5. Also scarred on left cheek . I had this procedure performed on me about 10 yrs ago , was told it helps , makes it worse , or just doesn't effect different people . Thank god it helped me straight away . I had nothing then for a few years but it does come back from time to time . And every time i wake up with it , but at least now i know the cause and try.and mobe them crystals back to where they should be . So glad i discovered this treatment .
Hello Dr. Jo. First of all, thank you for the detailed explanation on the Epley maneuver. I suffered from vertigo after getting hit in the back of my head. This maneuver cured the vertigo, but I have been feeling a little dizzy and off-balance afterwards. I heard that this is called residual bppv, and it takes a while for your body to adjust. My question is, how long would it take for the dizziness or light headed feeling to go away after this maneuver is done. Thank you again for your help!
You're welcome! It really depends on how severe your case was to begin with. You can do follow up maneuvers with this video that might help with the rest: www.askdoctorjo.com/content/vertigo-treatment-simple-exercises-bppv Good luck.
@Woobin Kim - Did the follow up maneuvers help with the residual bppv?
great video.my ENT M.D did it and successful bt it came back after 6 days.I went back and he tested me and said I'm better.Sent me to PT.waiting to get better.
Thanks. Good luck.
Best demo ever. Thanks for doing this.
You're welcome, and thanks!
I am going to research that type of doctor today. I’ve viewed all of your videos as well as others and although I feel lightheaded, I cannot set off an actual episode of vertigo. I need an expert I believe.
Can you do this to yourself without a person supporting your head? My neck muscles still work fine, I'm sure I can support my head.
I have done it on my own and it works
I always do it on myself. Just lie on your bed. Your whole head doesn't need to hang off the bed with someone holding it. You can just go to the edge where your head is tilted back but supported by the bed.
This video was super informative, thank you. I was diagnosed with vertigo last week, and I haven't really been experiencing spinning, more so just lightheadedness and nausea. This is the maneuver that the doctor told me i need to do to get rid of it, but she didn't really explain it all that well, and so far i haven't noticed any improvement at all, so i either have a different kind of vertigo, or I've been doing this maneuver wrong all week
You're welcome. If there is any way you can go see a physical therapist who specializes in vestibular rehab, they should be able to evaluate you and help you figure out what is going on.
@@AskDoctorJo i have an appointment with my family doctor on September 7th, she can refer me to the proper doctor from there if she can't help me herself
Will one epley fix BPPV? I have been so careful since the real bad vertigo that I am just off balance in the morning. I am going to an ENT Monday to have this maneuver done. I just want to be back to normal. Now I am anxious a lot and scared. I feel like it takes me 3 hours in the morning to get passed the anxiety and general off balance feeling. The shower is difficult and driving I get anxious.i will continue my daily activities because I have kids that need me. to live like this is awful. I am praying the epley works Monday and I can resume normal life. I hear sometimes it fixes people the first time. Praying that it does that for me! Thanks for the video
You're welcome. Sometimes it does, but sometimes it takes a time or two. If you want to try another move you can do yourself, it might also help, but it might make you feel a little worse before feeling better: www.askdoctorjo.com/content/vertigo-treatment-simple-exercises-bppv Good luck.
@Deepak M I had it again two weeks ago. Took three times. I had too much to drink the night before and I think I was dehydrated it finally went away but it took some time. Thank you for writing back
I used one of those pillows one buys for long airplane flights. It helps my head stay in the position required so the crystals can go back to where they belong. And it’s comfortable.
Thank you so much for this video, it is so helpful and making me feel so much better.!
You're welcome!
Thank you I feel much better after the exercise may god rewards you❤
You're welcome, and thanks.
I have had vertigo that was relieved with this, performed by my GP
I have to do this tomorrow how is it when you are having it done? I have BPPV
You are the first one to say we need to keep our head up for 48 hours...it seemed to me we needed to do that since the crystals remember where they were and may want to return..
Some research does show that it is no longer necessary, but I still think it gives you a better chance of keeping the crystals in place. It's at least worth trying.
Thank you Dr. Jo for sharing this video. I’m just having the BPPV when I wake this morning, and searching for the treatment in youtube. I will ask someone in my family to learn your video, and treat it to me. My question is, how many time should I do this in a day, how many days and when the right time? Thank you, doctor Jo...🙏🙏
You're welcome. This particular one should only be done once. If it's truly BPPV, that is often enough. You might have to repeat it in a few days, but give it some time to work before trying again.
Love from Pakistan..I m becoming phyio and this helped me alot in understanding.
DO YOU RECOMMEND DOING THIS MANOUVER WHILST THE PATIENT IS EATING
Awesome! It worked at the first try!!! Thank you Dr. Jo!!!
You're welcome!
I'm not sure I could go through with this, my dizziness is quite violent and I would instinctively have to sit up and try and grab hold of something. It actually feels like the room tips and I am falling. :s
It would definitely be best to have a professional perform it on you in a safe environment if it's that bad.
@@AskDoctorJo Thanks for the reply.
You're welcome. Good luck.
on one of the other examples of the Epley maneuver they had the patient turn and face the floor for 30 sec b3fore getting up.Any comments? Thank you for the very clear presentation.
You're welcome. I haven't seen that way before, but it definitely could be another way of doing it. Good luck.
It's been 6 years,I feel imbalanced and my balance worsens when I close my eyes or in dark...Does anybody have this?Please reply it will boost my confidence.
I’m sorry you go thru this. It must be just awful. Maybe you can get someone you trust to help you with this maneuver. And I cannot find replies on my yt, so if you reply I won’t know! I’m sorry!
This is something that you may need help with from a doctor and licensed physical therapist. The initial procedure helped, but I had remaining diziness and disorientation that a physical therapist helped me with. Please seek the help needed.
@@xdreamxmakerx Are you feeling better now?At least better than before?
I don’t know if I have bppv, the dr suggested it ages ago and then it came back really bad yesterday, tried this and today I was so much better, done it again tonight because walking set me off again, hope it helps again in the morning!
Thank you for the video! Other videos I've watched say that the new recommendation is only until the next day, not 48 hours anymore. Do you know that to be true? Thanks so much!
You're welcome! Most research shows that the time doesn't matter quite as much anymore as long as you are not making big head movements immediately afterwards.
Kelly Baum, I never bothered keeping my head upright longer than about 30 minutes. It still works. I would avoid roller coasters.😉
Great video and an awesome delivery 👏🏽
Thanks.
Thank you, this was a really good set of directions!
You're welcome, and thanks!
Thank you for the video.I am dealing with Vertigo and Tinitus which l got serving in military at same time.l can only say it’s very depressing and effects whole family and way of life.Good luck everyone.
You're welcome.
Thank you so much Dr.Jo for this video very helpful.
+Beauty ForYou 123 You're welcome! I'm glad they are helping.
this maneuver cleared my problem on second attempt carried out solo.
Okay i literally just finished my first try. Let's see :(
Edit : it worked!!! Thank you so much ❤️ don't be afraid when you see the world going crazy as you look down 😂
I'm about to start with my husband doing it to me and I'm terrified because I hate being dizzy
Great instructional video. Attempted doing this to myself but naturally it is difficult. Anyway, not positive that this type or even vertigo is what I'm afflicted with. It's scary....
It can definitely be scary. If you can go see your doctor, it would be best to find out specifically what is causing it. Good luck.
Check out my demonstration of the Brandt-Daroff Exercises for Vertigo in this video: ruclips.net/video/jkfq3EvhbbM/видео.html
Thanks u are a life saver i got very bad vertigo 4 days before but then i did this and i am totally fine now its amaing love u ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
You’re welcome.
Hey Doctor Jo, please tell me, whether it's from left to right or right to left. When the affected ear is right, from which side to start?
If your right side is affected then do your right side. If your other side is not affected there is no reason to do it. If for some reason its both ears, it doesn't matter which you do first.
I read so many comments and there is not one that says it didn't work. I will give it a try!
I did the Epley this morning from memory of when a PT I saw previously for BPPV had performed it on me. I'm not sure it worked because I did not feel dizzy in the other two positions (I worry I didn't have the angle right after watching your video) and now I'm feeling spacey and lightheaded even just sitting on the couch. Can I repeat it still today since I didn't feel dizziness in all 3 positions?
Dr , i have done this epley manuver exercise 2 years back .I 'm alright all these years, but suddenly when i bend down to wash my head , ithis vertigo started again . I again did this exercise yesterday . Now i'm feeling better . I want to ask you why this happen again.
Do you recommend repeating the maneuver on your patients in one setting
I personally wouldn't. Once you do the maneuver, it should get the crystals back in the right place. Repeating it so quickly might disrupt that. Good luck.
Agreable
Thanks for the video! But how do I know which ear I have been affected?
When I was diagnosed by the doctor, she said it was on the left side. I did this Epley Maneuver at the physio, and then at home a couple of days later. On both occasions I felt nauseous and headachy for hours after - is this normal? I slept sitting up with a soft collar, but getting out of bed and getting ready for the day i still felt disoriented. also when i did this i felt equally dizzy on both sides. this began a week ago.
The symptoms began Sunday, Saw Dr on Monday, did the Brandt-Daroff exercise 3 times a day for 2 days, Wednesday, went to the physio to have the Epley Maneuver done, felt awful directly after the procedure and the following day, Friday things were looking up, then went back to the physio for some neck work, then when I was sitting up after treatment all the symptoms returned with a vengence. He then did the maneuver again and I had all the normal spinning symptoms, but again felt disoriented that night and the next day - Saturday. I decided to do the Maneuver myself that night (last night) - i still feel awful, hence my questions.
thanks for your video, is very comprehensive, and I do this at home again, I will have someone help me as per your instructions
When you say you feel equally dizzy on both sides, are you doing the Epley on both sides or do you mean you feel dizzy when you turn both ways? Usually the symptoms only last for an hour or two later, but shouldn't last for days later. Sometimes the crystals are out in different canals, and a different technique is required. Unfortunately, I don't really know without getting to evaluate you. I would recommend asking your PT about it, and if he says those long effects are normal or doesn't have an explanation, I would see if you can get another therapist. Good luck.
I finally had a neuro do this a couple years ago. I immediately threw up upon sitting up. I’ve since then been battling bppv off and on. I kept trying it by myself and I’d get sick like I did before but it keeps coming back. Turns out I’ve been missing the second step. I would just go from the right to on my left side 🙃 gonna try this now.
I don't have the courage to try it, I hate that intense dizziness feeling so much
Try it!! I do it often and it helps my dizziness tons. Just do it on your own and ask someone to watch your angles. My mom watches for me
Question: Can I do the Epley Maneuver every day even if I don't feel dizzy or will this be a bad thing to do?
