I am a Nephrologist, I see many of my renal patients with Benigb positional vertigo, when the clinics are not heavy I do this maneuver and like a miracle it works. Thank you so much for you both for doing such a wonderful video on this. This maneuver was thought in meds school and I had forgotten it over the years. Thanks again for these two lovely souls for helping out millions of people. 🥰
I have this every couple of months, and I always solve it by simply lying down in my bed and then suddenly flopping around like a fish. Sometimes I hold a position for longer, but mostly I just hurl myself side to side or stand up and twist side to side, bend forward and back violently! It no doubt looks alarming-(64 year old large woman) but it always works! Drink some water then get back out on my motorcycle. Thanks guys, your version looks gentler.
And does this works…
Ummmmmm 🤭
Thats hilarious and go on motorcycle
@@johnhusks did you work for you?
@@stephanie462 I went to a doc and he did something similar. It worked like a magic. 90% fixed in one seating. But this works for only positional vertigo.
We successfully did this several years ago, saved my wife's life. Back then she could not lift her head off the pillow for 3 days, within 20 minutes she was able to sit up and take nourishment.
Two weeks ago her vertigo came back again and we knew just what to do. Thank you for all the time you put into sharing your videos.
G
sorry i have a question, the first time you just don the epley once and nothing happend to her again until last week ?
@@sma2010ful1 Hi Hussam, Correct, her first vertigo was 3 1/2 years ago, this second episode was just recent, we followed the instructions again and she is back on her feet. I have heard you may have to repeat it several times. I hope this helps.
@@markrankin3297 thank u so much
@@markrankin3297 can I ask what was triggering her attacks??
After numerous doctor visits to treat the dizziness and given different causes for the symptoms and also being prescribed antibiotics and steroids I still got no relief. My symptoms were dreadful. I did yoga and got real nauseous. When I got out of bed in the morning when I pushed on the mattress to get out of bed my arm felt like it was going through the floor. It’s an awful way to live with vertigo.
After it was clear no doctor could fix me or at least the ones I saw for the dizziness I researched my symptoms online and found this video. My niece performed the maneuver on me after she viewed the video and I got relief. The part during the maneuver where your head goes at the 30° and off the bed I freaked out because it brought those symptoms immediately, but after the entire procedure I got relief. I was ecstatic that those horrible symptoms were gone. Thanks so much for this video.
I now share it with others. It’s a real gem 💎
You guys have taught me more about myself within minutes than doctor has in 44 years. Thanks be blessed.
Read My Comment
Thanks for this, I do this for my husband and always forget between times. 5:41 is where they start the maneuver illustration.
I suddenly started having vertigo a week ago. Just tried this yesterday and after the first time I was about 80% better. Did a second round right before bed and woke up without any dizziness. I’m well into my day and have not had any issues. Thank you!!
How are you feeling now?
Update! 5:50pm This TOTALLY worked for me! I woke up this morning at 2:30am head spinning.
Barfed from the nausea of the spinning. I thought I was toast.
But realized if I held really still I was okay. So I searched for a cure online and
the Doctors video was interesting but no maneuvers there. Then these two adorable Physical Therapists (look up there!) showed exactly how to do this!
So I did it and barfed like crazy. But it's important to keep your head up! So I assumed that some good had come from the first attempt and used a borrowed airplane neck pillow tied around my neck (I looked goofy) and waited until later in the day to repeat it and BOOM!
NO SPINNING! It was like a miracle!
So in one day I thought my life was over and then had a reprieve without spending a dime!
Thanks nice people on UA-cam!
Amazing isn’t it? I had a friend send me the link to this video because I had vertigo so bad yesterday I thought I was dying from a stroke or something. It definitely works.
Ann inGG, it was triggered by a nurse cleaning out one of my ears, which was blocked by wax. I think she used too much water pressure. It was nice being able to hear again, but 5 days later, a terrible vertigo attack.
Hello. You are so lucky. 1 question. How did you didnt looked down for 48 hours? How did you slept??
Melina Elina, you don’t need to do those things. Those were the old guidelines from 30 years ago.
paulineprojectlove I’m afraid to do it...can’t stand the spinning 😰
Bob and Brad really helped me out with the Epley maneuver. I have had BPPV episodes several times over the years. I heard about this maneuver from a physician. I went online and watched Bob ana Brad preform this maneuver and tried it. I had 100% success first time. My vertigo was instantly gone. Thank you guys you are the best.
Probably my first UA-cam comment ever. Years back my wife was experiencing vertigo while pregnant. I think it was going on day 4 and I had to do something. I watched your Epley maneuver videos and was able to rid of my wife’s vertigo! She may have even cried tears of joy and relief. Just wanted to give credit where credit is due. Thank you for posting the content!
I find myself revisiting the channel as I nurse my way back from a calf injury. Now a new subscriber.
Thank you! I can't believe this worked after just one try. No more spinning, no more nausea. You guys rock!
I did this 3 times yesterday but didn't work. Today I tried again but rested more than 1 min in each position (let the nausea feeling settle down so possibly 2-4 mins each) and IT WORKED.
Hope that helps those who didnt succeed at your first try. Also, I didn't have anyone holding my head so I placed a pillow under my upper back. Totally worked.
I've had this BPPV for so long that 2 hours after it's fixed I'm still getting used to not feeling the vertigo lol.
God bless
Its awesome that you are teaching and showing people how to help themselves
This is the most amazing intro to a UA-cam channel I have ever heard.
Thank you so much for this! I was getting vertigo so bad that I was unable to do much of anything, which was obviously harming my quality of life. This resolved it almost instantly!
Thank you so much for this video. You helped my sister Kathy and now you have helped my husband Bob. It works!!! God Bless you both, Bob & Brad.
So simple, yet effective. I did this myself last night, and it worked! Thank you!
Just recovered from my second episode of BPPV. The first was several years ago and it was after lying back in the dentist chair, just as you mentioned; I wonder how common that is. Your video is very helpful. Besides demonstrating the maneuver well, you had two other helpful tips that I didn't see in any other material I looked at: 1) don't tip your head forward for the rest of the day, and 2) sleep with your head propped up slightly. I was free of BPPV the next morning. Thank you!
Mine started after having dental treatment. It was severe, but this helped me.
I had vertigo for two weeks and tried other exercises. Nothing was working - then I remembered I could look it up on your channel. I did this exercise yesterday and didn’t look down for the rest of the day... this morning the dizziness is gone! Thank you so much Bob and Brad 💙😊🙏
Ann inGG All I know is I was dizzy and the room would spin every time I laid down. I could tell it was my right ear because if I turned my head to the right while laying down everything would spin. Turning to the left didn’t do that.
Try Bob & Brad’s exercise on both sides if you don’t know. Mine went away immediately and hasn’t returned.
Ann inGG & LB Thanks for posting. I’ve had vertigo for years, to the point of nausea and vomiting. I’m going to give this a try. It’s been years since I remember a doctor doing it.
I had the vertigo/dizziness when I would lie down and when I would roll over in my sleep. I tried your procedure - IT WORKED! You guys rock!
I need to tell everybody that I had severe vertigo. Wim Hoff breathing exercise took care of it almost immediately. I am amazed and so grateful.
I had the Epley done by a physical therapist last spring but he didn't say anything to me about not looking down or about having a neck brace. He just sent me home. It basically took two visits and then he said if you feel more comfortable coming back for the third go ahead so I did. I wasn't 100% after the Epley but I certainly got there within maybe a week or less.
My physical therapist was surprisingly forceful with me, even violent, which hurt my neck. He didn't just have me lay back, he took my head and slammed it into the table. He also didn't have me play my head over the edge of the table.
WOW
That last line was savage haha did not see that one coming
"we can fix just about anything............. except for that broken heart'
..
Thanks guys!
Thanks for sharing, I suffered a Vertigo event. The room spinning, nausea and I was sweating profusely. I thought it was a precursor to a stroke or heart attack. Thankfully, it was Vertigo, something treatable. Thanks again
You're brilliant. I loved the way you presented the manoeuvre and your informal and humours approach. THANK YOU!
This worked immediately for me, both times that I was stricken with vertigo! Lifesaver! Thanks!
I'm curious, have you had vertigo episodes since? I just had my first vertigo attack 3 months ago and it's been repeating weekly since, but saw an ENT that told me it'll go away eventually. I'd rather hear from someone who had it
@@Rick___ I don't think you got regular vertigo,I don't think it would repeat weekly ! Maybe it's a virus ! You should see another doctor !
It's day 6 of living with this I don't get dizzy on the bed at nights no more only when I walk or move I'll continue to watch your videos cause I really needs this to go away 😭
I did this manuever a couple of months ago and all symptoms vanished ans have not come back . Blessing!
After this exercise I also got rid of dizziness but I still feel some lightheadeness. You totally healed at once?
You guys are the very best! I have used your videos to manage issues in the past and have shared your work with others, but this time you really came to my rescue. This video is clear and simple and the movement worked like a charm. Thank you so very much!
I did this yesterday after I felt the symptom of vertigo on my right side (eyes going all crazy when I laid down facing right (tried left side but eyes was normal) and felt like gravity was pulling me around as soon as I sat up in the morning). I've done it in the morning and throughout the day was 'floating' around not sure if it had done the trick. Although straight after I did it once I tried laying back down fast (facing right) and my eyes stopped spinning. I had left it to the next day to come and give my result and yes, I feel so much better. Totally recommending this. Thanks Bob and Brad!
Hats off to you guys...I had bppv on my left side... Just woke up on my left side with my head spinning...Couldn't do anything for 2-3 days...tried the maneuver few times... But I think I got it right the 3rd time... thank you very much from the bottom of my 💓....
Deepak same issue what was causing your bppv was it neck issues?
I woke up horribly dizzy asked my husband to see if you guys had a video on that. Two maneuvers later and I was all better! Thanks!
Lolol the still of this video is when Bob is slapping Brad in the face while he's defenseless on his back on the table. You crack me up every time.
waadfrelle I was just about to say that lol. I thought their business relationship had come to an end!
thanks heaps very helpful video .iv suffered vertigo for a long time even though 1 doc didn't believe me.when I do this I do get very dizzy when I move my head so I know I do have it.im going to keep trying this exercise I believe it will take time for me aleready have noticed a difference
You guys are awesome and thank you for sharing and thoroughly demonstrating this maneuver!
Love your video. I had my first episode with vertigo less than a week ago. Thought I was dying. So dizzy and sweaty flushing heat all over my body. Went to the ER. The doctor did the Epley maneuver on me and it helped. I wasn’t told anything about not looking down or sleeping on high pillows. They gave me a prescription for nausea and another for dizziness. I found that that pills for dizziness actually made me even more dizzy. I’m feeling better day by day. I appreciate your video on this
i have it everyday now since i had sinus surgery its bad
cheal6920021 really, so now what
Rebecca Swilling I did some research on vertigo and said that the pills doctors prescribed actually create dizziness and nausea, what? I had a prescription as well. After researching I also found out that low levels of magnesium can be the culprit to vertigo. Desperate I went to the local drug store and took the magnesium supplements immediately. Within a few hours, I regained my balance, nausea went away and my eyes stopped twitching and started to feel normal again. Check it out, you can get tested for this but I didn’t waste anymore time feeling this way. Hope you get rid of it 100%. Good luck!
@@insightandsenses do you know what was triggering your vertigo eipsodes?
Legends, you are literally the ONLY ones making the point not to look down afterwards and that includes the official NHS information.
This was super helpful and detailed, I appreciate it. Gave me some relief.
It sure worked for me. I had it 22 days and doc kept sayin it will run its course. I discovered the epley maneuver. Didnt work the first try but it sure worked second time
I have it now for 3 weeks, and I'm really afraid to do this practice, I really hate that spinning feeling.
Please show me how you did it.
It's so bad for my life in general.
@@cyrax1700 just do the same
Very helpful, i was confused before, as to which side to do what with. Your videos are great. Thanks you guys.
Clonked my head on a piece of exercise equipment, symptoms for two days, especially when rolling over in bed.
Performed right side test, negative.
Performed left sude test - eyes went reeling!
Will continue to assess and perform Epley. Great work, as always gentlemen. You've helped me get many more good miles out of this aging Marine/athlete body (previous shoulder videos for example).
Had this several years back. This treatment was God sent! Unfortunately, I’m having symptoms again and it’s awful. I’m going to try this at home.
GOD BLESS!!
Thankyou so much for posting, I try the procedure last night and it helped tremendously I woke up this morning symptoms are almost complete gone.
You're welcome Sherrie! What great news :)
Hello. But the doctors said that you are not allowed to look down for 48 hours. Thats the part that im afraid the most. How can i sleep?? I cant sleep with two pillows. It was a problem for you this part??
You should do the Epley in the morning ,not evening ,!
We can tell when two guys like each other and work together extremely well. Great TEAM!!!! 💕
Most helpful personally🙏🏻 may God Bless you both
I was diagnosed in the ER, and they did this maneuver. They said if it comes back, to watch a video on UA-cam, and do the maneuver myself. This was a very scary thing to have happen....I described it to my family as when Westley (in Princess Bride) was brought back from “mostly dead”, and couldn’t support his body. I tried to stand up...and fell over! It took two people to support me as I walked to the car to go to ER.
Wow what triggered your attack,?
This changed my life. No kidding. Thank you!!!
I'd like to know why it is necessary to keep the head up for the rest of the day following the Eplay maneuver (not look down). Very few videos even mention this last step and none of them explain why it is important. Thanks for the video. It's one of the best ones I have seen on this subject.
To reduce the chance of the crystal migrating back before it drops out completely.
Best treatment I've ever found. Used it for years.
I'm back again...this worked like a champ with a previous bout...back for a refresher to handle this round...thanks again for posting such valuable information!! Much appreciated!!
Amazing I just did this and my symptoms when looking directly up disappeared completely
Q
Qqqqqqqq
Thank you!
You guys are a real blessing, all symptoms are gone after first try!
Great video, very helpful in controlling vertigo !!
I had dizziness so bad, I had no idea what was going on. I would move or look to the left, or be in bed and turn to the left and everything would spin. I was having to have help to do anything. This had been going on for about 10 days when I saw your video and gave it a try. My husband helped me, we did the maneuver twice, facing to the left, and I was so sick, I was fighting not to vomit 🤮 Afterwards I had to go to bed, my husband put a cold washcloth on my forehead and I went to sleep for about an hour. I woke up with no more dizziness. Thank you so very much for the help.
...when I "saw"...
I have experienced BVVP many times during the years. Some very bad. Triggered by head cold (stuffy Head). Learned to do the Eply Repositioning Movement. Usually more than three times.
yes, it's working 100% , follow exactly + wear a neck collar as they say after the maneuver. it's life saving
My vertigo started after dentist visit. This helps. Thank you.
Best of luck!
Such an old fashion clip, but this technique works. I was going down a lift, bent down to pick something up and was struck with vertigo for the first time. The worst feeling to live with! 😩 the room constantly spinning, nausea and never being able to really concentrate. This technique worked for me over two nights of doing it, it lessened gradually and now has gone. I’m off elevators, I’m taking the stairs!
Want to thank you guys so much for posting this. My vertigo was worse than the cancer and Chemo I am taking. Did two reps of this maneuver and Vertigo is GONE! Thank you!
Thank you so much! Suffered from Positional Vertigo for 3 years. Did this, took 3 days and I feel like myself again.
I am also suffering with vertigo.. first time i was got these one year ago and after one year feeling same spinning head heavy head. It is the worst thing which we can't explain to anyone. How many time did you this exercise. Can you please explain your experience
@@ramanjitkaurmatharu9391 Yes. I did this exercise 3 times a day and the third day my vertigo went away. I suggest keep doing it until your symptoms are gone and your vertigo is gone for a day or it may come back.
@@jenn331 do you know the triggers of your vertigo?
@@ramanjitkaurmatharu9391 what triggers your vertigo?
Thanks guys. Perfect. I joined the ranks of Vertigo lovers last year - visited the local ENT doctor and then on to physical therapy. Unfortunately, I really didn't get the drift of the whole procedure (Epley no doubt). We went through the "motions", I was sent home with a diagram and that was that. If it was helpful, I don't know and that's perhaps because my symptoms were weaker at the time. I just didn't know what step two was or better yet, although I knew the principles/theory that were driving the "maneuver", I still didn't get the whole picture and what was to follow. You guys presented a much clearer "picture" of how to do this and I learned more than anything else I've checked out thus far. That said, I thank you for posting up this video. PS. I like the talking.....
Thank you so so much guys. I'm praying this will help my sister.
I’ve had fluid in my ear for 5 months that I’m getting drained soon but I tried this, I swear it worked! Will keep trying. God bless
Great demonstration! Thank you so much guys!
Thanks guys. Excellent explaination and performance of procedure. Very helpful.
Thanks for your videos! God Bless you Bob & Brad for all you do for humanity! Love you!❤️❤️❤️
I've had the vertigo now just over a year. First my ENT diagnosed it as Vestibular Neuritis gave me some prednisone said the dizziness should be gone in a week. It wasn't.
Next stop a Physical therapist you have a crystal in your right ear. All last summer I did therapy including the Epley maneuver well over 100 times.
Next up my ENT said no you have a Vestibular Migraine. prescribed me Venlafaxine ER 37.5m (a anti-depressant). Take this for 2 weeks and you'll be fine. I take one at 10am. By noon the vertigo is 80% gone. Cool. At 2am the next morning I wake up with a blinding headache. Since I don't get headaches and I had read if you take this medicine you might want to monitor your blood pressure. So I take my blood pressure. It's 196/101. Yep off to the emergency room we go.
Anyone who can point me in the right direction you get a $100 bill in the mail. No B.S.
Its a very bad feeling and I hope your videos will be of great help to me.
Had terrible vertigo for 2 days. Tried to follow written directions on another website but they only had the right side version so it did nothing to help. It didn't even mention there is a different method for each side. Followed the left side version in this video and it fixed me!
I have been dx'd with with this. I have 2 bulged discs at C-5 and C-6. I am suffering. I watched this and have goosebumps.
I have bulging discs as well in my cervical spine. Lately my neck has been feeling right; disjointed and very unsteady. I find when I wake up in the morning while lying down I experience a terrible wave of vertigo. I'm not sure if this is from changing positions while asleep. Did you experience this??
Check with your chiropractor as well to see if your occipital nerve is being messed up by the occipital area at the base of your skull. They can do an occipital lift adjustment that fixes that most of the time..............look up occipital nerve and vertigo.
Otherwise if you have eye movement and typical BPPV symptoms then stick with BPPV maneuvers
You guys are awesome! This is well done. I have to practice saying Puh-Rocks-IZ-mal.
Thank you. Seriously, you guys are the best!
Thank you :)
I needed a quick update as I have a client this morning with BPPV. Thanks!
you guys are like rock stars
Nice Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Schallingora Automatically Update Scheme (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for getting rid of virtigo without the headache without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 after many years got astronomical results with it.
Kudos for the Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Schallingora Automatically Update Scheme (do a google search)? It is an awesome one off guide for getting rid of virtigo without the headache without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my old buddy Taylor got astronomical results with it.
I experienced severe dizziness upon waking up a few days ago. After two days of dizziness and trying not to fall all the time, I did some research, learned about this maneuver, and discovered your video. It worked, and I am so grateful! Thank you so much for helping me.
Did you try it yourself or have help? I already know I’m going to get dizzy just because I can’t even sleep with head flat at the moment. It’s my first experience with it.
@@inventorcreator7267 I did it myself. I hope it helps you.
Excellent video! Thank you Bob and Brad!
This totally just worked for me. Thank you!!
I hope it works for me!!! I’m SPINNING!!!
Truly Great and helpful video, even tell me sleep with higher pillow as I also notice I sleep with my head up too much. And low pillow. Had vertigo think it is right side. Throw up all day. Had to go to er. But not much can do.
Gonna try this again.
Thanks guys.
Great job.
Y’all saved me a few years ago! Dr’s wanted to give me pills that didn’t help but y’all showing us saved me!
So happy to hear it! We are glad to hear you are doing better and we are so happy we could help!
Will try this one tonight. Thank you.
Skip to appx 5:00 to get to the demonstrations past all the jibber jabber
I liked the Jibber jab it sets them up as likable characters
ablestmage THANKS!!
Ty bro unfortunately i got irritated after 5 mins and saw ur comment but true its pointles to have mumble jumble
Get to the point. Stop all the meaningless chatter. We just want help quickly.
seriously
I had a doc use a hand vibrator (old type that had two finger rings to hold it on his hand)...He held this on my head as he did the maneuvers. He said it helped move the crystals faster.
So if you have a reaction to both sides- can you do treatment consecutively or should you wait two days for things to settle down on one side before you do the other?
Thanks, Guys...I'm definitely gonna give it a try. I've been suffering since last year October! Been miserable!
Lisa Lee-Lee Hope you get better... good luck
@@johnnycake020 Thank you for your kind words. Not there yet, but still trying...😉
I was diagnosed and told to do it at home. Put my head over edge of bed head up and turn head to side of the vertigo.
It's always a blessing to have a good coworker. Not everyone has that. 🙂
Thank you
Both of you
Very much
Thanks I have recurring problems with inner ear and seeing it done is very helpful to me.
Thanks! I wonder what treatment is best for the residual effects of the sensation of feeling uneasy for weeks! The Epley has worked for me however I have severe nausea/vomitting afterwards. Seems like it takes months to be able to not feel "not normal" in the bed.
I've had BPPV ever since i can remember, when i look up, down and lay on my back
Thank you so much for this video Bob & Brad!!!!! Loads of gratitude 🙏❤️🙏
I tried multiple exercises like this with no luck. I will say what did work for me was using a neti pot to clear my sinuses. I'm not sure if the head tilting while using the neti pot fixed the vertigo or if the neti pot relieving the sinus pressure fixed the vertigo or maybe it was a combination of the both. But this is the first relief I felt in 6 days.
This technique has worked really well for me when I've had the BPPV on one side.
However this time it seems to be central. I did the Epley Manoever a couple of weeks ago & it helped, but it's back again. Do I just do this technique again or is there another technique for when it's central?
Yes had this today. I usually rest I'm okay. I went to sleep. Could not wat breakfast this morning. It is worse this time. It is scary. I am massaging the head faschia laying down straight. Well they always real bad. Steming from depression no activity etc maybe dehydration, bc spine no dr cuz covid since Feb. I don't have issues standing up walking rn as far as I know. The faschia massage help numbness asleep from circulation issues & air bubbles trapped & with meditation music and energies trapped. They follow down & out. I wish I could have a mat massager or massage atm so my back would get release too do whole body be ok.
Do you know what caused your vertigo? Are you better now?
Thank you very much Doctors God bless yall for this video I tried this last night and my symptoms are gone so far
Vertigo started with me about s month ago after a flight. Nothing unusual happened about the flight either and I fly often. This condition is exhausting and affects my memory in an unusual way. I'm going to try this.
Thanks for the excercise-it has done wonders to me
Last time I did the treatment from your video and so far so good. Thank you!
Appreciate Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard about - Schallingora Automatically Update Scheme (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is an awesome one off guide for getting rid of virtigo without the headache minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my GF after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.
If you can't figure out which side needs the attention, can you just do both to make sure you treat the correct side?
susan millican I have the same question.
Yes but Not on the same day
I was still dizzy at 1 minute, so I stayed 2 minutes each position. My head was clear by then and taking a few more seconds was giving me a confidence. Also, I tried another maneuver that made me walk like a drunken sailor and caused the crazy eye movements. This was the maneuver where you are on your knees and bend forward to put your head between your knees, then turn your head and hold. After that not working for my case, I went back to the Epley and that helped corrected things. Point being, there are several maneuvers and having a vestibular-familiar physical therapist is crucial to doing the right maneuver.
netmouse1 I agree
