I have had vertigo for two weeks now, I tried the positional method and by the fifth time the dizziness diminished. I am hopeful that this will help! 🙏🏽
I was diagnosed with BPPV years ago. The doctor prescribed bed rest until it cleared in its own. I could ill afford to take weeks off from my life a few times per year, so I'd muddle through, holding onto things to steady myself and vomiting once or twice per day. At 25 years old I had to use a cane a few times/year just to walk safely. Then I learned the Eply maneuver and it was a godsend. My vertigo resolved within an hour instead of taking days or weeks. Thank you thank you for sharing this information so generously. I have new exercises for my toolkit. I hope no one has to suffer like I did, and they find your simple effective recommendations.
I felt exact same when i had vertigo first time. I didnt know then why i was dizzy or spinning. 2 years and now, i get vertigo time to time. The maneuvers help. But mine keeps coming back time to time.
@@airforceone6523 yeah, mine returns too once in a while, usually after I've done a lot of swimming in surf and tumbling motions. But it's fairly quick to correct with physical therapy maneuvers. I wonder why, like are some people's otoconia more prone to detachment?
@@galamander_1327 thats what ive been trying to figure out. What i realised is majority is caused by stress. Majority are women. Usually happens majority of the time in 30s plus. Not saying men dont get it, or stress is the cause. Im stating its a major cause. Also i found put is too much salty foods creates vertigo. I feel some peoples inner ear is weaker than some, hence loose crystals.
@@airforceone6523 that’s exactly what I think. Some of us are just more prone to it. Also, my vestibular therapist told me that my right ear canal is more prone to it than my left, meaning the spinning happens clockwise. So, whenever I feel it coming on (usually when I’m still sleeping and turn around in bed), I wake up with a jerk… ugh such a horrible feeling!! And then I go straight into the Self-Epley maneuver for correcting my right ear. It helps almost immediately after I do the maneuver. Then I’m good to go… but I gotta keep doing it. At least twice a day-after waking up and before going to bed-every day until that slightly woozy feeling goes away and the spinning that happens when I do the exercise doesn’t keep happening. That’s how I know that I’ve beaten that particular bout of vertigo. No one has adequately answered my question as to exactly WHY it’s my right ear… it just is.
@@airforceone6523 they do there's four different types of medication you can take for this a friend of mine is a doctor from Venezuela and he moved here recently and told me what those four medications were but you cannot get them in the United States because they went to put you through this process and specialist process they don't want you to have a cure
@@Fknstud833 you mean there is a pill or a cure for vertigo? What pills are they? Been to 3 doctors and 1 specialist. To this day. I have had no pills to cure my vertigo i still have it now for almost 3/4 years.
Brandt-Daroff. I was extremely sick. I just want to tell people don't give up. I have had motion sickness since I was a kid. Roller coasters airplanes cars boats. This episode was the worst I have had. It was combined with prescription medications. I tried a lower dose and Brandt-Daroff. It took about 4 days and a lot of prayer. The first 3 days minor improvements and sometimes worse. 4th day started to improve more rapidly. Drink a lot of water, exercise, eat right. 4th day 90 to 95% better. Thank You Jesus and thank You Bob and Brad. Don't give up.
I'm having my second attack of vertigo. I'm scared of this condition. Thank you so much for all this information. I'm trying to stay calm and I will try all this. I'm so grateful for this video.
Hospitalized for 1 week with vertigo. Went home still not 100 percent. We'll be going to vestibular therapy soon. I hope it gets me back to where I need to be. Vertigo is no joke.
This exercise worked perfectly for me - after the first day of doing the exercise 3 times that day (5 reps, 3X), I had no spinning - just a little nausea. I had the spinning and nausea in one direction only - i.e., when falling left. I've had vertigo for about 10 years on and off. It's good to know that you can actually treat it when it happens. I plan on continuing the exercise for the next week to ensure that the crystal is back in its place. I'm in the no spin zone. Good luck everyone - like the Doctor said in the video 85-95% success rate!
I got verdico back in 2016, I got dizzy, my eyes felt like I was spinning around, I could not see, after the dizziness subsided I felt sick to my stomach, the nurse at work gave me a glass of cold water which made me throw up. I did see ear, nose, and throat who said nothing wrong with my ear but from watching this video there is a problem with the ears. It is the most scariest thing I’ve ever been through. The doctor never talked about therapy.
Wow..sorry to hear you endured this. I've had this problem a few times, it took me awhile to find an ear, nose, throat dr who specialized in vertigo. One 10 minute treatment and it was gone after months of suffering.
I was diagnosed with floating crystal years ago. Went to an ent specialist and another time er. Both doctors performed a similar technique. I now do at home usually once a year or so as needed. I sit one bed with feet at footboard. Place a pillow under my lower back, and making sure I have plenty of room, throw myself back. I do deep breathing slowly until dizziness stops, then throw myself to side with head slightly hanging off bed, breathing slowly and deeply until dizziness stops. I only have to do this once and than rest for about 10 minutes and I am good to go.
Wow, i will try this. I woke one morning and had the at sea feeling to the left. So scarey. My neck is off and pillow was not right which seemed to start the vertigo.
I've tried the positional vertigo treatment & it helped alot !!! Tried most of the exercises but this positional exercise helped the best. Thank you for your video & help. I feel so much better & starting to feel back to normal again. I will continue to do this until I am myself once again. This is such a horrible feeling for those who suffer from this feeling. You can do it, don't give up, get help don't suffer.
I have suffered from vertigo for many years now. I had brain tumour removed many years ago, I had treatment while in hospital by physiotherapist which consisted of exercises to neck while lying with head over end of bed, then holding head down for one min. Then turn to right and repeat holding head still for one min. Then return head up for one min, then repeat on left side for one min,return head up again for one minute and slowly lift up to sitting position .this to be done three times per day until all dizziness has receded. Good luck to all.
Brilliant clear explanation of how to deal with vertigo. Only had it once, earlier this year & had no idea what it was so it terrified me. Could not have got to a Dr if I tried so was pretty much unable to do anything for 3 whole days. In my 70s & on my own it was pretty scary. Even now months later am very cautious when I lay down & get out of bed. Helpful information.
Being by yourself in a challenging situation like this while dealing with the fear of that unknown must have been terrifying. So happy you found a solution
Yeah, I wonder if it's my exuberant throwing myself out of bed in the morning to get my cawfee! Nectar of the gods, only one mug a day... I will now forever CAREFULLY roll out of bed! (I'm 66 and live alone too.) This is an excellent video! My first time, I called a neighbor to drive me and spent the day in the ER. (Thought it was a stroke -- except I had no "regular" stroke symptoms...) Diagnosed with Benign Postural Vertigo, and let go home when the dizziness stopped. (with drugs for next time.... NEXT TIME?!? EEK!) Next time was last night... annoyance but no fear... Tried Eply, threw up (made it to the toilet, thankfully!) (TMI?). Ended up going to bed at 7:30 (world still rocking and rolling!) Woke up this a.m. fine and stable. Oddly, (?) a couple months ago my "normal" life-long tinnitus got massively LOUDER on the left side.... Last night, it was way loud. Related? Dunno.
Thank you for the in-depth explanation. I was hit with a migraine that lasted for four days, which triggered BPPV. I’ve spent the last week vomiting until I ended up in the ER. I was sent home with a prescription, which made my symptoms worse. I came across your video, and I’m already seeing improvement. I’m a trucker, so I have to make sure that this is completely eradicated, otherwise I’ll be making turns on just NINE wheels. Thanks for the information!
Shari Berry to the rescue! What a great teacher and a kind person. This maneuver resolved my vertigo when the Epley maneuver did not. Try it out! It's exactly as she said. I did it 5 times in a row and felt a little better each time. I have not had to repeat it. Thank you so much for posting this video!
This morning I woke up with BAD BAD vertigo. It only happened once in my life before and it went away after a minute or so. But this morning was something else. As I was waking up, I rolled onto my left side, the world started spinning like crazy! I couldn't get up at all. I was so nauseous I couldn't stand it. So I lay very still and started looking for answers on UA-cam. This video was GOD SENT. I managed to get myself sitting on the side of the bed and did one session of these exercises. It worked! I was so scared and didn't know what was happening to my body but after listing to your guest, and understanding what was going on, the fear left and I treated myself with these exercises. Thanks a trillion.
I started having vertigo about 25 days ago. It only happened when I was getting out of bed and when I was going from upright to sleep position. It also happened as I was turning from middle to sideways as I was laying. Thankfully it only lasted a few seconds (max. 10 sec), but still it was annoying. I followed the routine in this video a few times, it worked on the fourth! I heard (or imagined?) some kind of soft water flow sound in the second out of the five last repetitions. I stopped having vertigo for about a day, I hope it stays this way! Big thanks to Shari!
Hi I have had BPPV vertigo since 2011 and it just will not go. The past two years it seems to have changed sensation from spinning to now swaying. Mostly I get it when looking up ,putting washing in the washer,and getting milk out of the fridge. Also noticed more now I stumble sometimes when out at night. Could these exercises help me. I’ve really had enough of having this. Please help! Most appreciated.
@@gvillarreal79 Yes I did have treatment for it and had physio for my balance cause it was shocking couldn’t walk in a straight line if I tried. I’m due to go back to hospital in December to see someone. But when I did have treatment I was fine for a week and then it come back and that was in 2014. And just been suffering with it since.
If you tell friends or anyone that you have Vertigo, you usually get a blank stare or a simple, “I’ve heard of it, that’s too bad”. Yadda yadda. I have it right now, second time since March 2024. It’s discombobulating, frightening while you’re feeling nauseated. Hope they learn more about it! First time I went to the hospital thinking I had a stroke! I couldn’t even get out of my recliner and had to be lifted out and placed on the gurney terrified! The living room was spinning wildly and I felt like I was on a wild amusement ride while throwing up several times!!!
You guys are awesome! Just got vertigo today for the first time in my life and I'm 36. Very scary at first. But I tell you what I did that exercise that Miss Sheri demonstrated and I'll swear by it. I was able to turn my body without feeling like I'm going to topple over. It didn't alleviate it yet but I'll try again tomorrow morning
@@gvillarreal79 I'm doing okay, thanks for asking. I do struggle with it on occasion maybe once every other month or so but it's mild now I just can't move my head in a certain motion when it happens.
This lady is a whole vibe! My goodness, I love u guys. I ve been experiencing vertigo for almost 4 days and I came across this video. Have done this exercises and I feel much better. That was an excellent teaching.
Thank you. Been experiencing dizziness off and on since I was in my late 20s. But had the first spinning episode last Christmas. Then felt pretty dizzy again for the last week or so.. years ago they said crystals were probably trapped but didn't give me anything to do.. so thank you. Just did my first set of reps. Feel pretty good. Will keep it up and let you know!!
What a coincidence 4 day's ago I hav this problem started which I google nd know that's problem called vertigo nd m google today also nd now u cum up with this video. Thanku
Wow..I had tried the on your hands and knees put the top of your head on floor between your arms turn to the arm of the dizzy side and hold 30 seconds and then rest back on heels. Repeat.. this time it didn't work for me SO a million Thanks to Sheri for the technique on the couch..Cured it by the 5th repeat. Vertigo is awful unstable feeling 😕 Thank you so much for this life changing info.
Thank you for the nice video it does gelp a lot I stated with vertigo a couple years ago in the winter I had an ear infection dye to high winds, and I notice every windy day it was coming back so I went to buy n ear cover I have this hat with ear covers Iand since I use it my ear infection stop and also my dizziness I found this by myself and my dictionary adviced me to keep using my hat especially in the winter .I hope this would help someone like it helps me..good luck and God Bless everyone..
I cured my vertigo from an earlier video posted by these two awesome guys! Thank you thank you thank you. This is a good maneuver as well in case it comes back!
As much as I hate to admit, this entire video is precisely what I am currently struggling with. Thank you. I have saved this to my favorites. (I see the therapist next Thursday.)
Where was this a few years ago! Had an inner ear infection damage a vestibular nerve and landed in the hospital. My vestibular ocular reflex was greatly affected. Some of these exercises seem more appropriate than what I was given at that time.
Oh dear. Love Bob and brad!. First episode ever on 7.29.22. Frightening. Thought I was having a stroke. Went to reg doctor said it probably wasn't a stroke, but somebody suggested going to an EENT. Went today. He said it was benign positional vertigo and something about those crystals and getting some testing, which I'm sure will be similar to this. Tried these exercises and it was greatSo grateful for B and B videos!!! 💕🙏🙏 Thank you!
I'm glad to hear how many reps and how long it takes to have lasting results because often I try these exercises a couple of times then quit. I get it every year for months so am now empowered to reduce that duration.
@@gerrigarrick try seeing doctor who can do maneuver with you esp if your still dizzy, take someone with you, be gentle on yourself and take good care, you can also try the epleys at home but the doctor can tell which side is affected and may offer quicker relief, best of luck
@@gerrigarrickcheck out the half somersault maneuver as well. They’ve done studies, and that one works just about as good as the Epley maneuver, maybe even better when doing it at home, because it produces less dizziness and it’s pretty easy to do as long as you don’t have back issues and you can get down on the floor, stuff like that. I’ve had a lot of luck with that one.
Thank you so much for this video! I find it so scary and it has taken me a while to actually do the exercises, I have done my first round. I so need this to work because I hate being dizzy and having to cope with it. Thank you!
Wow Dr. Sheri explained everything so perfectly and simply. I was always told by my ENT to do the Epley but that makes me feel AWFUL! I’ve never done the two that she recommended but I am Willing to give it a go! Thank you for this video! I’ve been suffering from BPPV (right side/ear) since 2016. So I am praying that this will cure me once and for all!💜
Thank you so much for this video! It’s the first time for me experiencing vertigo! I just tried this exercise, really bad when I went to the left, I did get sick, but I feel better!
I believe I had a TIA a few nights ago. I have had positional vertigo ever since...when I lay down on my right side, that is when it hits me. So, I am making a Dr. appt for follow up and trying these excercises.
I am currently experiencing my third attack within a year, and it is proving to be more protracted than the previous instances. This situation has caused me significant stress and exhaustion, to the point where I feel an overwhelming desire to engage in self-harm as a means of alleviating my distress. Last Sunday, I spent the entire day at the hospital, yet my condition has shown no signs of improvement. Every night, I am reduced to tears due to the limited sleeping positions available to me, which has resulted in the development of hip pain. At this juncture, my sole desire is for this ordeal to come to an end.
Oh my please think about this. I have been suffering from vertigo for 4 years. I've been to so many Dr's, I have felt like you. Please don't do anything to hurt yourself. I am praying for you allday today
@dolphnsrmyluv you sound so much like me. I've had this for 4 years now. 4 years 24/7. Nothing has worked. I've been tested to death . I went to balance therapy for 2 years. Like you I just want it to end. Please don't hurt yourself please. Don't let me believe that that's the only way to stop this.
I've done these exercises at a Dr's office, who was specialized in vertigo. One point that he told me that I never hear online help say is that for the next 3-4 days I could not sleep laying down, don't bend over, don't turn your head to quickly to either the right or left - no sudden movements.
I'm suffering for it at least six months now just doing exercise at home gone for treatment with almost 4doctors but I even wish god never gives this sickness to anybody
I had two major brain sttokes and is now dugfeting with vertigo. I have gone for therapy many times but its not helping. I need help with this condition.🙏🙏🏾✍️
The epley maneuver is just a series of head positions that help re-align to the crystals in your inner ear. You can look them up online. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much Dr Shary. You're really great kind heart and explain and helping suggestions so nicely. It's really very helpfull. And also Dr.Bob and Brad very helpful to the people's. You all are really a great humanity and valuable human thoughts to this world, helpfulness. Prayers for always Happy and Healthy and prosperous to you all and your family, 💖🌍💜❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've been experiencing dizziness in bed and especially when my head turned to the left. I ended up in ER. I had two more attacks, and I'm still battling. I'm going to follow up with my doctor and seek treatment. Feeling is terrible and scary
This is me right now. Went to a clinic 3 times and they gave me antibiotics and told me it was an inner ear infection due to a possible virus, but treated me with antibiotics just in case it was bacterial. The meds made me worse and I can't even look up without getting dizzy and light headed. Its my right ear and been going on for about 3 months, my ear hurts too. I just want to move around without me head rocking. Ugh...
Have you visited a vestibular therapist? If not, I highly suggest you do. You don’t have to live with this condition. Find a physical therapy outfit close to you and ask for a consult with their resident vestibular therapist.
I have atypical Meniere’s that causes ear pain (think ice pick in the ear) if I eat too much salt and I get vertigo. Doctor prescribed a high blood pressure medication that regulated my Sodium and potassium levels. Apparently this helped with the fluid movement in my inner ear. Rarely have an issue. If I have pain I can usually determine I ate too much salty food. If I get overly tired I tend to get vertigo.
Better late than never! Having been diagnosed many years ago with Meniere's Disease (briefly described as an inner ear disorder) I highly recommend if you are experiencing re-occurring bouts of vertigo/dizziness best to be tested to determine the actual underlying cause.
Shari said that patients don’t know their eyes are moving, but I can say I definitely knew. It’s such a weird feeling to look straight ahead but your eyes don’t stay still. I could imagine someone having a severe case and they just feel dizzy and nauseated, and that overwhelms everything else. But I definitely could feel it as my eyes moving uncontrollably.
years ago when i got to the top of the stairs the room was spinning i looked on utube and found if you sit on youre legs tucked under you raise youre self up arms up lean back it will either be gone or not it was gone im a pensioner now take care of very special needs 24/7 in my home ive had no probs execpt for agonising hip pain thats sorted now just about thanks to b&b much love 💚😇
Went to the doctor and found out I had a severe ear infection. It never hurt, I was just very dizzy. He gave me antibiotics, and it cleared up quickly, and all dizziness stopped. So, it’s important to rule out other things first.
I get quite faint and nauseous, nothing spins though. Have I got vertigo? I have tried a few UA-cam exercises, which help. Yet it's back a few hours later
Excellent video and information, thank both of you. I have experienced severe vertigo twice but years apart and as you all may know, it is horrendous. I had to see a specialist that did some of these manoeuvres but it is great to see it on UA-cam where I can replay it should the need arise again.
Went to my doctor on a tueday and told I was not feeling well. I would get up and want to lay back down. Sometimes I would feel slightly dizzy walking around a corner. The doctor didn't even examine me. Told me to get a mouth piece as I was not sleeping well. Wound up in the er on the next Sunday with bppv. They were able to see my eyes go back and forth when doing therapy. I still don't feel well. The at home exercise is had without that padded table.
Mine last for about two weeks sometimes, I’ve even lost consciousness before. It’s debilitating! Can’t eat, even gets worse when I lay down and try to sleep, I have to sit up at an angle until I fall asleep.
I’m not sure it’s permanent but it randomly comes and goes. But I’ve seen two specialist so far, including my VA Doctor as well. Only give me meds for dizziness which doesn’t work at all.
She's amazing and so kind with her patients unbelievable. The doctor i saw for this type of treatment the doctor should be fired. I reported her to My insurance she even got paid and only did A hearing test for me.
I was diagnosed with a vestibule schwannoma 3 years ago, After watching it grow for a year it was surgically removed. The result is I have no left ear function. I have been doing the head turning while focusing on the card and it has helped but... As a cyclist I still have problems turning my head to look for cars coming from behind. Crashed once breaking a collar bone. I had to sell the mountain bike because the shaking was too much. Never did have the puke reflex. Anything else I can do?
Omg I just had that problem a couple weeks ago, got a buzz on my right ear and got all those symptoms, it went away after a week but not completely, still feel a little weird but a lot better. Great video, not much info on these subject. Thanks a lot.
Hi there, please I have this dizziness since when I was young. I don't know what is wrong. I don't get any solution. I live in Canada, how can I get your service? How it works
thank you so much..now i can help others at work that are going through this, ther is quite a few coworkers, and yes i always wondered what that feels like and now here i am feeling it..darn it , it's the worst feeling... i rather be in a sort of pain but not dizzy, that i rather have my life over with...(just a sayin) but you know what i mean...good luck yaa'll
Hearing is higher on the list of the Brain's concerns. It will neglect Balance in favor of hearing. Meaning you will get dizzy; Vertigo will make that much worse.
re: Positional Vertigo... Speaking as a cardiac patient, it seems compromised and/or restricted blood flow may well be a big part of my recent bouts of dizziness, lightheaded feeling, balance problems, etc. Of course, I might be mistaken and -- as such -- bow to those who are far better versed in this condition and its cause & effect as well as treatment.
Oh I have a question. I had a stroke in December 2021 and I notice I get seasick when being driven in a car or. I also suffered nausea at home just sitting in a reclining chair.I’ve had vertigo when I was healthy so I know what it is I am just wondering if some of these techniques can be used now that I’ve had a stroke To help with my nausea, I’m wondering if the stroke could be playing on this.
Thank you, Brad and Shari! I had a few months of sudden dizziness several times a week last year and had gotten the various tests you mentioned, but my results all came back normal. The specialists concluded that I may have gotten some sort of virus during that time. I’m curious to know what your thoughts are. I sure hope I won’t experience that again!
I have had vertigo for two weeks now, I tried the positional method and by the fifth time the dizziness diminished. I am hopeful that this will help! 🙏🏽

umm throw yourself? maybe make a video on this and does this mean you stop the vertigo?? I'm confused 😢
Thank you so much. Doing this now
Just straight back with your head square or tilted at at angel?
Let me know if this Vertigo stuff found it's way to you, so I don't send any more stuff to you. N
Thanks....
I've tried the positional vertigo treatment & it helped alot !!! Tried most of the exercises but this positional exercise helped the best. Thank you for your video & help. I feel so much better & starting to feel back to normal again. I will continue to do this until I am myself once again. This is such a horrible feeling for those who suffer from this feeling. You can do it, don't give up, get help don't suffer.
I have suffered from vertigo for many years now.
I had brain tumour removed many years ago, I had treatment while in hospital by physiotherapist which consisted of exercises to neck while lying with head over end of bed, then holding head down for one min. Then turn to right and repeat holding head still for one min. Then return head up for one min, then repeat on left side for one min,return head up again for one minute and slowly lift up to sitting position .this to be done three times per day until all dizziness has receded. Good luck to all.
Brilliant clear explanation of how to deal with vertigo. Only had it once, earlier this year & had no idea what it was so it terrified me. Could not have got to a Dr if I tried so was pretty much unable to do anything for 3 whole days. In my 70s & on my own it was pretty scary. Even now months later am very cautious when I lay down & get out of bed. Helpful information.
Being by yourself in a challenging situation like this while dealing with the fear of that unknown must have been terrifying. So happy you found a solution
Yeah, I wonder if it's my exuberant throwing myself out of bed in the morning to get my cawfee! Nectar of the gods, only one mug a day... I will now forever CAREFULLY roll out of bed! (I'm 66 and live alone too.)
This is an excellent video! My first time, I called a neighbor to drive me and spent the day in the ER. (Thought it was a stroke -- except I had no "regular" stroke symptoms...) Diagnosed with Benign Postural Vertigo, and let go home when the dizziness stopped. (with drugs for next time.... NEXT TIME?!? EEK!) Next time was last night... annoyance but no fear... Tried Eply, threw up (made it to the toilet, thankfully!) (TMI?). Ended up going to bed at 7:30 (world still rocking and rolling!) Woke up this a.m. fine and stable.
Oddly, (?) a couple months ago my "normal" life-long tinnitus got massively LOUDER on the left side.... Last night, it was way loud. Related? Dunno.
Thank you for the in-depth explanation. I was hit with a migraine that lasted for four days, which triggered BPPV. I’ve spent the last week vomiting until I ended up in the ER. I was sent home with a prescription, which made my symptoms worse. I came across your video, and I’m already seeing improvement. I’m a trucker, so I have to make sure that this is completely eradicated, otherwise I’ll be making turns on just NINE wheels. Thanks for the information!
I'm a professional driver as well I have to get rid of my vertigo
Wow! She explained it very well. Thanks a lot.
Shari Berry to the rescue! What a great teacher and a kind person. This maneuver resolved my vertigo when the Epley maneuver did not. Try it out! It's exactly as she said. I did it 5 times in a row and felt a little better each time. I have not had to repeat it. Thank you so much for posting this video!
This morning I woke up with BAD BAD vertigo. It only happened once in my life before and it went away after a minute or so. But this morning was something else. As I was waking up, I rolled onto my left side, the world started spinning like crazy! I couldn't get up at all. I was so nauseous I couldn't stand it. So I lay very still and started looking for answers on UA-cam. This video was GOD SENT. I managed to get myself sitting on the side of the bed and did one session of these exercises. It worked! I was so scared and didn't know what was happening to my body but after listing to your guest, and understanding what was going on, the fear left and I treated myself with these exercises. Thanks a trillion.
Have you had it come back?
@@gvillarreal79 Glad to say that is has not come back.
I started having vertigo about 25 days ago. It only happened when I was getting out of bed and when I was going from upright to sleep position. It also happened as I was turning from middle to sideways as I was laying. Thankfully it only lasted a few seconds (max. 10 sec), but still it was annoying. I followed the routine in this video a few times, it worked on the fourth! I heard (or imagined?) some kind of soft water flow sound in the second out of the five last repetitions. I stopped having vertigo for about a day, I hope it stays this way! Big thanks to Shari!
I'm dizzy just watching. My Vertigo started yesterday out of a sudden. Thanks I'll try these
This doctor is really very knowledgeable and expert.
I suffer from vertigo for a very long time and have frequent episodes. This is very helpful. Thanks

U guessed for yourself or ur doctor confirmed that u have vertigo....please reply
Hi I have had BPPV vertigo since 2011 and it just will not go.
The past two years it seems to have changed sensation from spinning to now swaying.
Mostly I get it when looking up ,putting washing in the washer,and getting milk out of the fridge.
Also noticed more now I stumble sometimes when out at night.
Could these exercises help me.
I’ve really had enough of having this.
Please help!
Most appreciated.
@@debrapeel5140 have you gotten any therapy for this?
@@gvillarreal79 Yes I did have treatment for it and had physio for my balance cause it was shocking couldn’t walk in a straight line if I tried.
I’m due to go back to hospital in December to see someone.
But when I did have treatment I was fine for a week and then it come back and that was in 2014.
And just been suffering with it since.
If you tell friends or anyone that you have Vertigo, you usually get a blank stare or a simple, “I’ve heard of it, that’s too bad”. Yadda yadda. I have it right now, second time since March 2024. It’s discombobulating, frightening while you’re feeling nauseated. Hope they learn more about it! First time I went to the hospital thinking I had a stroke! I couldn’t even get out of my recliner and had to be lifted out and placed on the gurney terrified! The living room was spinning wildly and I felt like I was on a wild amusement ride while throwing up several times!!!
Having vertigos right now..trying to help my self with this home exercises..thank you 😊
Good luck
Thanks for the exercise Doc. I'm going to try it today. Been having vertigo on and off for years. Usually medication works. Thanks again
Bob you are a national treasure freeing us from pain. 🗽
You guys are awesome! Just got vertigo today for the first time in my life and I'm 36. Very scary at first. But I tell you what I did that exercise that Miss Sheri demonstrated and I'll swear by it. I was able to turn my body without feeling like I'm going to topple over. It didn't alleviate it yet but I'll try again tomorrow morning
How are you doing now?
@@gvillarreal79 I'm doing okay, thanks for asking. I do struggle with it on occasion maybe once every other month or so but it's mild now I just can't move my head in a certain motion when it happens.
I got Vertigo after my first and my last vaccine mrna pfizer. The head exercises do help. Hope you get better.
This lady is a whole vibe! My goodness, I love u guys. I ve been experiencing vertigo for almost 4 days and I came across this video. Have done this exercises and I feel much better. That was an excellent teaching.
You are so welcome! She is a true Teacher! Brad
@@BobandBrad oh yes she is!
Thank you. Been experiencing dizziness off and on since I was in my late 20s. But had the first spinning episode last Christmas. Then felt pretty dizzy again for the last week or so.. years ago they said crystals were probably trapped but didn't give me anything to do.. so thank you. Just did my first set of reps. Feel pretty good. Will keep it up and let you know!!
Worked for me. Hope it works for you all. Thank you for this great video. Truly a blessing.
What a coincidence 4 day's ago I hav this problem started which I google nd know that's problem called vertigo nd m google today also nd now u cum up with this video. Thanku
*👆👆👆Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered.Words cannot express my feelings, nor my thanks for sharing your thoughts:.*
Wow..I had tried the on your hands and knees put the top of your head on floor between your arms turn to the arm of the dizzy side and hold 30 seconds and then rest back on heels. Repeat.. this time it didn't work for me
SO a million Thanks to Sheri for the technique on the couch..Cured it by the 5th repeat. Vertigo is awful unstable feeling 😕 Thank you so much for this life changing info.
Thank you for the nice video it does gelp a lot I stated with vertigo a couple years ago in the winter I had an ear infection dye to high winds, and I notice every windy day it was coming back so I went to buy n ear cover I have this hat with ear covers Iand since I use it my ear infection stop and also my dizziness I found this by myself and my dictionary adviced me to keep using my hat especially in the winter .I hope this would help someone like it helps me..good luck and God Bless everyone..
I cured my vertigo from an earlier video posted by these two awesome guys! Thank you thank you thank you. This is a good maneuver as well in case it comes back!
As much as I hate to admit, this entire video is precisely what I am currently struggling with. Thank you. I have saved this to my favorites. (I see the therapist next Thursday.)
Where was this a few years ago! Had an inner ear infection damage a vestibular nerve and landed in the hospital. My vestibular ocular reflex was greatly affected. Some of these exercises seem more appropriate than what I was given at that time.
*👆👆👆Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered.Words cannot express my feelings, nor my thanks for sharing your thoughts:.*
Did you recover? How are you doing now?
This is a lot easier than the eply method....I'll try this tonight...have had some vertigo the last two nights.
Mine hasn't been full on vertigo,but i do get the feeling like I'm constantly on a boat since last Thursday, i hope i get better.
Oh dear. Love Bob and brad!. First episode ever on 7.29.22. Frightening. Thought I was having a stroke. Went to reg doctor said it probably wasn't a stroke, but somebody suggested going to an EENT. Went today. He said it was benign positional vertigo and something about those crystals and getting some testing, which I'm sure will be similar to this. Tried these exercises and it was greatSo grateful for B and B videos!!! 💕🙏🙏 Thank you!
Hey how you doing now ? Did it go away? I have a constant feeling like I'm on a ship
Thank you. I’ve been having it would seem positional vertigo. Don’t get nauseous thank goodness!
*👆👆👆Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered.Words cannot express my feelings, nor my thanks for sharing your thoughts:.*
I'm glad to hear how many reps and how long it takes to have lasting results because often I try these exercises a couple of times then quit. I get it every year for months so am now empowered to reduce that duration.
Has this exercise worked for you? So far I did it 3 times. Didn't feel bad yesterday, but today spinning was worse when I did it and feel woozy now.
@@gerrigarrick try seeing doctor who can do maneuver with you esp if your still dizzy, take someone with you, be gentle on yourself and take good care, you can also try the epleys at home but the doctor can tell which side is affected and may offer quicker relief, best of luck
@@rblightchild My chiropractor does a great job too!
@@gerrigarrickcheck out the half somersault maneuver as well. They’ve done studies, and that one works just about as good as the Epley maneuver, maybe even better when doing it at home, because it produces less dizziness and it’s pretty easy to do as long as you don’t have back issues and you can get down on the floor, stuff like that. I’ve had a lot of luck with that one.
15:20 treatment. I saw improvement in my dizziness in two days of using this maneuver. THANK YOU.
Try Lyseine. I used it. In two days I felt a huge difference. It got to where I could function again.
Thank you so much for this video! I find it so scary and it has taken me a while to actually do the exercises, I have done my first round. I so need this to work because I hate being dizzy and having to cope with it. Thank you!
Wow Dr. Sheri explained everything so perfectly and simply. I was always told by my ENT to do the Epley but that makes me feel AWFUL! I’ve never done the two that she recommended but I am
Willing to give it a go! Thank you for this video! I’ve been suffering from BPPV (right side/ear) since 2016. So I am praying that this will cure me once and for all!💜
You have dizzyness all the time, or just when you rotate?
Thank you so much for this video! It’s the first time for me experiencing vertigo! I just tried this exercise, really bad when I went to the left, I did get sick, but I feel better!
This woman Rocks the best one l have seen … thank you
I have benign positional vertigo again. Thanks for this help
I believe I had a TIA a few nights ago. I have had positional vertigo ever since...when I lay down on my right side, that is when it hits me. So, I am making a Dr. appt for follow up and trying these excercises.
Tried it and worked GREAT!. Thank You
Wonderful informative video. Thanks so much Dr Saunders.
Glad it was helpful!
*thank you
I will try this home therapy .
I have cronic vertigo .
I am currently experiencing my third attack within a year, and it is proving to be more protracted than the previous instances. This situation has caused me significant stress and exhaustion, to the point where I feel an overwhelming desire to engage in self-harm as a means of alleviating my distress. Last Sunday, I spent the entire day at the hospital, yet my condition has shown no signs of improvement. Every night, I am reduced to tears due to the limited sleeping positions available to me, which has resulted in the development of hip pain. At this juncture, my sole desire is for this ordeal to come to an end.
Oh my please think about this.
I have been suffering from vertigo for 4 years. I've been to so many Dr's, I have felt like you.
Please don't do anything to hurt yourself. I am praying for you allday today
epley
@dolphnsrmyluv you sound so much like me. I've had this for 4 years now. 4 years 24/7. Nothing has worked. I've been tested to death . I went to balance therapy for 2 years.
Like you I just want it to end. Please don't hurt yourself please. Don't let me believe that that's the only way to stop this.
Thank you Thank you. Videos like this in plain simple and straightforward language and treatment is greatly appreciated by ordinary folk 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the good info and very effective teaching.
I've done these exercises at a Dr's office, who was specialized in vertigo. One point that he told me that I never hear online help say is that for the next 3-4 days I could not sleep laying down, don't bend over, don't turn your head to quickly to either the right or left - no sudden movements.
Yes!
Thank you! This is an easy looking fix for minor vertigo. I'll have to try it the next time it happens.

I've had it for seven weeks. Just started the treatment.
I'm suffering for it at least six months now just doing exercise at home gone for treatment with almost 4doctors but I even wish god never gives this sickness to anybody
How are you feeling now? Has yours gotten better?
Ty guys ! So many ppl are going to benefit from this video. Love all your videos :)
Thank you so much - this was excellent and I'll try it. I appreciate the details of how to do this properly at home!
Thank you, I suffer from this from time to time, Love the break down of the symptoms
I used to have vertigo attacks fequently. The Eply maneuver helped, but what made them almost completely go away was cutting out caffine.
I had two major brain sttokes and is now dugfeting with vertigo.
I have gone for therapy many times but its not helping.
I need help with this condition.🙏🙏🏾✍️
Eply Maneuver
What is it,?
Could you please explain?
The epley maneuver is just a series of head positions that help re-align to the crystals in your inner ear. You can look them up online. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much Dr Shary. You're really great kind heart and explain and helping suggestions so nicely. It's really very helpfull. And also Dr.Bob and Brad very helpful to the people's. You all are really a great humanity and valuable human thoughts to this world, helpfulness. Prayers for always Happy and Healthy and prosperous to you all and your family, 💖🌍💜❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've been experiencing dizziness in bed and especially when my head turned to the left. I ended up in ER. I had two more attacks, and I'm still battling. I'm going to follow up with my doctor and seek treatment. Feeling is terrible and scary
By the way I really love this guy's are really helpful fir all of us.. thank you Bob and brat...
Bravo 👏 👏 👏 BES5
BEST ONE Thank 😊 Sherry , you are a rare STAR ! 🌟 🤩 👏
Had that problem twice recently, thanks for info.

Very informative. Excellent advice. Much oblige.
Thank you, had this once at night, I hope to remember this if it happens again. Shari is adorable!
Our pleasure! Brad
Thank you! I just developed this Christmas eve and its been driving me crazy. It's also scary when I stand up and the room spins. I'll sure try this.
Did it work
Are you sure you don't have POTS?
This is me right now. Went to a clinic 3 times and they gave me antibiotics and told me it was an inner ear infection due to a possible virus, but treated me with antibiotics just in case it was bacterial. The meds made me worse and I can't even look up without getting dizzy and light headed. Its my right ear and been going on for about 3 months, my ear hurts too. I just want to move around without me head rocking. Ugh...
Have you visited a vestibular therapist? If not, I highly suggest you do. You don’t have to live with this condition. Find a physical therapy outfit close to you and ask for a consult with their resident vestibular therapist.
I have atypical Meniere’s that causes ear pain (think ice pick in the ear) if I eat too much salt and I get vertigo. Doctor prescribed a high blood pressure medication that regulated my Sodium and potassium levels. Apparently this helped with the fluid movement in my inner ear. Rarely have an issue. If I have pain I can usually determine I ate too much salty food. If I get overly tired I tend to get vertigo.
Better late than never! Having been diagnosed many years ago with Meniere's Disease (briefly described as an inner ear disorder) I highly recommend if you are experiencing re-occurring bouts of vertigo/dizziness best to be tested to determine the actual underlying cause.
Shari said that patients don’t know their eyes are moving, but I can say I definitely knew. It’s such a weird feeling to look straight ahead but your eyes don’t stay still. I could imagine someone having a severe case and they just feel dizzy and nauseated, and that overwhelms everything else. But I definitely could feel it as my eyes moving uncontrollably.
I definitely knew. I felt my eyes that I'd yell at them out loud "will ya stop!"
Me too. Also REALLY hard to get both eyes to focus TOGETHER on something!
Great job Mike stay well
Thanks for sharing. Very informative. I already do the last exercise for my vertigo per doctor's advise.
years ago when i got to the top of the stairs the room was spinning i looked on utube and found if you sit on youre legs tucked under you raise youre self up arms up lean back it will either be gone or not it was gone im a pensioner now take care of very special needs 24/7 in my home ive had no probs execpt for agonising hip pain thats sorted now just about thanks to b&b much love 💚😇
Went to the doctor and found out I had a severe ear infection. It never hurt, I was just very dizzy. He gave me antibiotics, and it cleared up quickly, and all dizziness stopped.
So, it’s important to rule out other things first.
I get quite faint and nauseous, nothing spins though. Have I got vertigo?
I have tried a few UA-cam exercises, which help. Yet it's back a few hours later
Excellent video and information, thank both of you. I have experienced severe vertigo twice but years apart and as you all may know, it is horrendous.
I had to see a specialist that did some of these manoeuvres but it is great to see it on UA-cam where I can replay it should the need arise again.
*👆👆👆Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered.Words cannot express my feelings, nor my thanks for sharing your thoughts:.*
Went to my doctor on a tueday and told I was not feeling well. I would get up and want to lay back down. Sometimes I would feel slightly dizzy walking around a corner. The doctor didn't even examine me. Told me to get a mouth piece as I was not sleeping well. Wound up in the er on the next Sunday with bppv. They were able to see my eyes go back and forth when doing therapy. I still don't feel well. The at home exercise is had without that padded table.
Thank you! Very much appreciative for Part 2!
Mine last for about two weeks sometimes, I’ve even lost consciousness before. It’s debilitating! Can’t eat, even gets worse when I lay down and try to sleep, I have to sit up at an angle until I fall asleep.
I know what you mean. Its so bad coz it affects your head by spinning basically paralyzes you.
How are you doing now? You think yours is permanent? How many specialists have you seen?
I’m not sure it’s permanent but it randomly comes and goes. But I’ve seen two specialist so far, including my VA Doctor as well. Only give me meds for dizziness which doesn’t work at all.
She's amazing and so kind with her patients unbelievable. The doctor i saw for this type of treatment the doctor should be fired. I reported her to My insurance she even got paid and only did A hearing test for me.
Thanks for sharing your good idea in vertigo traitment
I was diagnosed with a vestibule schwannoma 3 years ago, After watching it grow for a year it was surgically removed. The result is I have no left ear function. I have been doing the head turning while focusing on the card and it has helped but... As a cyclist I still have problems turning my head to look for cars coming from behind. Crashed once breaking a collar bone. I had to sell the mountain bike because the shaking was too much. Never did have the puke reflex. Anything else I can do?
Best video ever thank you
Omg I just had that problem a couple weeks ago, got a buzz on my right ear and got all those symptoms, it went away after a week but not completely, still feel a little weird but a lot better. Great video, not much info on these subject. Thanks a lot.
*👆👆👆Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered.Words cannot express my feelings, nor my thanks for sharing your thoughts:.*
Hey how are you doing now? Has it come back? I can't enjoy anything.
Great! Simple instructions. Thanks.
I had an attack while driving. Suddenly, it felt like my car was floating and out of control . I was terrified.
U guys amazing seroiusly thanks a lot love from Canada🇨🇦
This was a really interesting video. I can see why she teaches.
Hi there, please I have this dizziness since when I was young. I don't know what is wrong. I don't get any solution. I live in Canada, how can I get your service? How it works
thank you so much..now i can help others at work that are going through this, ther is quite a few coworkers, and yes i always wondered what that feels like and now here i am feeling it..darn it , it's the worst feeling... i rather be in a sort of pain but not dizzy, that i rather have my life over with...(just a sayin) but you know what i mean...good luck yaa'll
Hearing is higher on the list of the Brain's concerns. It will neglect Balance in favor of hearing. Meaning you will get dizzy; Vertigo will make that much worse.
re: Positional Vertigo...
Speaking as a cardiac patient, it seems compromised and/or restricted blood flow may well be a big part of my recent bouts of dizziness, lightheaded feeling, balance problems, etc.
Of course, I might be mistaken and -- as such -- bow to those who are far better versed in this condition and its cause & effect as well as treatment.
Thank you for your great information, the last exercise your head is lift or goes down with you body? Thank you very much 🙏
Oh I have a question. I had a stroke in December 2021 and I notice I get seasick when being driven in a car or. I also suffered nausea at home just sitting in a reclining chair.I’ve had vertigo when I was healthy so I know what it is I am just wondering if some of these techniques can be used now that I’ve had a stroke
To help with my nausea, I’m wondering if the stroke could be playing on this.
very informative thank you doctors and patient :)
Thank you, Brad and Shari! I had a few months of sudden dizziness several times a week last year and had gotten the various tests you mentioned, but my results all came back normal. The specialists concluded that I may have gotten some sort of virus during that time. I’m curious to know what your thoughts are. I sure hope I won’t experience that again!
