The Room is Spinning Make it Stop

Vertigo can be caused by many things including head trauma, stroke, neurological issues or tumors.  This post will focus on a very easily treated form of vertigo-- BPPV (Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo).  This type of vertigo is related to changes in position of the crystals that are a component of the inner ear. 


Symptoms include brief bursts of dizziness, spinning sensations, nausea and or lightheadedness. Some complain of a vague sense of not being "grounded" and being off balance.  Symptoms are often intermittent being present for a few days or weeks, stopping and recurring again.
