I fully endorse this video. Somebody who has suffered from this kind of vertigo numerous times, I always search my history for this specific video because it works every time
This is THE BEST video on this. My spouse was suffering from vertigo for a couple of weeks. I stumbled into BPPV (about which I had not known earlier) and then this video. She performed it last morning with my help, kept her straight head until the night, and then used three pillows to sleep in a reclining position. The vertigo was gone this morning! Magic! Thank you very much.
24hrs ago I was suffering vertigo. This very clear video enabled me to do the Epley manoeuvre which I previously knew nothing about. Last night I did it once which enabled me to sleep. This morning I repeated as although improved I still felt a little nauseous. I quickly felt much better and since about 4pm today I felt fully well. Thank you so much for your clarity and generosity in providing this helpful video!!
Dr. Tolman, thank you! This video helped me and my husband gain the knowledge and confidence to try to fix my vertigo at home. We have Tricare (military) healthcare, and the system is so broken that they told me I had to wait two months to see any medical provider at our base. !! So I had to go to the ER to get any help at all. At the ER, they did something similar to what you show, but did not tell me to keep my chin tucked in when I sat up, and I became terribly dizzy every time I sat up. So your video helped us understand why the ER visit helped but didn't totally fix my vertigo. I followed your video this afternoon with my husband standing by, and I feel better this evening. I'm going to wait a couple of days to see if I should try it on the left side.
I’ve been struggling with vertigo pretty bad the last week. I tried the technique in this video, woke up the next day and it’s totally gone, thank you so much! ☺️
I don't think I've ever commented on a UA-cam video, but this time I have to. Last year I was suffering from bad vertigo while laying down or looking up, fortunately it only lasted for about a month and went away. This year it started again about two months ago, I had gotten so fed up with constantly being dizzy, especially with all the weird positions I have to be in while doing a house addition. Yesterday I stumbled upon your video and realized that this may be the cure. I watched your video 2-3 times and determined it was my right ear, did the maneuvers and waited a few hours before attempting to paint the ceiling. Surprise surprise! No vertigo! I laid down in bed last night, no vertigo! I jumped out of bed this morning, no vertigo! I am bookmarking your video in case this returns and will recommend it to anyone that has the same issues. Thank you so much for this simple yet effective fix ❤
So grateful to your clear video. It totally worked for me. I had fallen in a chair and got vertigo the next morning, and a nurse suggested the Epley maneuver. Your video was great!
I’ve used this video countless times to resolve my vertigo episodes and shared the video with many friends. Thank you for the best ever demonstration of this technique.
This is the clearest and most concise video I have found. Easy to understand, how to determine which side to treat, and precautions to not undo the treatment, combined with a easy to understand description of what the maneuver is actually doing. Excellent!
Just got Diagnosed with BPPV the other day and let me tell you waking up with it was very scary, the health care system where I am at is so backlogged here that to have a doctor show me or do the Epley maneuver for me would be a 8 hour wait as there are no beds available, they gave me sheets on how to do it but after a few time it did not work and I was feeling super discouraged, this video explained so much and really helped me understand it, before watching this video I tried the maneuver and when I sat up was extremely dizzy which i know realize was the crystals falling back in. Last Night before bed I tried it again after watching the video and waited 30 seconds after each position before sitting up and had no dizziness, I slept upright and will be retesting at the 24 hr mark to see if it is gone....Thank you for this video! it is so simple to understand and hopefully it worked and I do not have to deal with this again!!! not often do peoples video truly bring value, but this one definitely did!
Thank you for making this video. This manuever immediately made me sick and then gave me great relief. I so appreciate the clear instructions and information!
Thank you for this video. I woke up to the world spinning, and I was thinking about all the things I might have to do (doctors etc.). I watched your video. The first time I didn't do it right, and I threw up. I did it again, paying attention to tucking my chin on the last part. It worked, and I was cured. Your other video, where you discuss the signs of a successful/non-successful maneuver were extremely helpful. Thank you again.
Thank you VERY much for helping me with the Epley maneuver which I did a few hours ago and it helped me immediately. I will sleep in my chair the next night just as a precaution as you recommended. This video is incredible in it's clarity&detail..almost like a reference level video on explaining how to perform a certain task including the necessary pre&post advice. I give this a solid 10/10.
Superb demo and explanation. My wife is a decorator who suffers with this, which involves a lot of head movement, and accompanying vertigo. Just the right amount of information, presented with great clarity and professionalism. Bravo!
This is the best video I've seen explaining the Epley Maneuver and how to do it correctly. If you do the Epley incorrectly, you can make yourself feel worse. This video shows you how to do it correctly by yourself and I got relief immediately. I've suffered with vertigo for several years and this procedure is a lifesaver. Thanks for posting this.
Hi Dr. Tate. THANK YOU for this video. If I may, I'd like to share my experience with BPPV. I am a retired nurse but had never heard of this condition until I got it myself. I am now 68, but 2 years ago I had my first episode. My alert audiologist realized what it might be and successfully treated me. But since then, it had recurred 7 times. I am active, (running, weights, and golf) so I always wonder what may bring it on, but she told me no one has confirmed that activity causes episodes. Anyway, after many trips to her office for treatment, I decided to learn to treat myself. I watched your video many times over, and this past weekend successfully treated myself. I think I may be one of those individuals who will always be at risk, so until I am physically unable to do it, I now know that I can do the Dix-Hallpike and Epley maneuvers at home. But I know I have your video for guidance each time! Again, thank you for the easy to follow video.
@@edithkinuthia5870 My ear doctor told me not to let BPPV dictate my life. He said keep doing what you enjoy and if it happens it can be successfully treated. So I would say to you live your life and enjoy yourself!
This cured my vertigo that I had been having for 2 weeks! The key is to keep chin up for the first 2 positions and then tuck your chin to your check when you roll over and sit up. Also wait until the dizziness goes away before changing positions. Thank you so much! I’ve tried everything and this is what worked. God bless you for sharing this!!!
Thank you for posting this and explaining it so well. My vertigo has been so bad for about a week. And it’s hard to explain to people that it only happens when I’m moving my head in certain directions
I had been trying another exercise which was similar but after some days with some success, but I found yours and after getting my husband to work it through with me, I can tell that ‘it’ has gone. I am very grateful for your well presented tutorial. My daughter is getting married in 10 days so this is wonderful.
Very well explained. Thank you! I just had a vertigo recurrence, and with the current pandemic situation I can't go to my physiotherapist. This is very helpful.
@@Slavic_Boer True. It's so terrifying. Just now, in February, is it just about gone. And even when it's gone, you will feel like your head is screwed on un-level. You will get little bouts of un-levelness. This is all normal according to an ear doctor i talked to.
@@Slavic_Boer My first experience was in bed too, in the middle of the night I turned over and bam it happened. Thankfully, BPPV usually occurs at an angle. In my limited research I never read where it happened while driving. That was a fear of mine too. I even went to a Dr about it, an ear Dr. He said it was BPPV and didn't seem concerned. 😑 Luckily I did the exercise on my own and it went away. Again, sometimes I can feel one coming on and I just be careful. Thankfully I know what it is and can do something about it if it ever comes back.
@@Slavic_Boer Let me know if you have any other questions. Just know when the vertigo goes away, your head may feel light and not screwed on right - this is normal. It takes a little while for the brain to adjust.
This is the sort of stuff that makes UA-cam great. Fantastic explanation and demonstration. Used it immediately with a family member and brought her immediate (almost miraculous) relief from a massive amount of inner-ear infection vertigo. Thank you.
Thanks Danielle - just an observation, I just tried this on my own and to be honest after the first bout of dizziness even when it had stopped I was pretty much good for nothing
If you become very symptomatic and nauseated during the maneuvers, you can try taking an anti-motion sickness medication 30 minutes before trying the maneuver. This will hopefully decrease your symptoms enough to get you through each position
Thanks so much! About six weeks ago, I went to Massage Therapist and she tugged on my ears. After that I had vertigo. I noticed it first thing when I went to turned my head to the right during the rest of the massage. At first I thought it was an ear infection because one of my lymph nodes was swollen so I went to a doctor for that. Next, I thought that I needed chiropractic care. So I went to the chiropractor. The first adjustment was successful and the dizziness minimized. However, the second adjustment let things loose again. My vertigo was worse, so I went back to the chiropractor, it was suggested that I try the Epley maneuver which I had tried before. After my adjustment, I came home and tried to find a more detailed explanation of how to do it. I watched your video… Did the maneuver… And it worked! I appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge!
I did one by sitting in my couch because your explanation was so clear that I thought it didn’t matter if I lied down or sat as long as my head’s angle followed your instruction. It worked! Thank you!
I cannot thank you enough for the home video BPPV maneuver. I think I developed BPPV from sleeping on my side. I feel almost 100 percent from my former mild symptoms of vertigo and dizziness. Your demo was so easy to understand from beginning to end. Thank you again.
By Far the Best -straightforward - informative video to help with this condition. I am a nurse who suffers from this far more frequently than I would like. This Works. I also shared this video with another nurse who is a good friend and was also having problems with the issue. The SAD part about this is that we BOTH had the experience of doctors who gave prescriptions for the vertigo more than once without even mentioning the simple maneuver that helps so much. Just wish I could fix it so it doesn’t happen so often.
Thank you Dr. Tolman. I'm hoping this has been the reason for my vertigo, but either way, this Epley Maneuver video has got to be the best one out there. Very well done!
This is my go to video for vertigo. I have BPPV and when it hits, I follow this video to a tee and it has not failed me yet. THANK YOU For sharing and helping me manage my BPPV!
Fantastic Video! Very well done. Dr. Tate explains everything so well and without any mistakes. She should be on TV! Her voice can be heard well even when she is in the middle of demonstrating all of these positions. I am going to try doing these movements tomorrow to see if my dizziness/vertigo goes away.
Thank you so very much! I felt so much better after doing the Epley Manouvre from your video. Brilliant explanation of BPV Vertigo at the end of the exercise too. This was such a kindness!
This is amazing what you just explained. My mom is complaining dizziness since 1 month and I’m going to try on her this method. Greetings from Pakistan.
Thank you for such a thorough and easy to follow video! Who knew I could do this at home??? This has been a life-saver; I'm out of town, no local doctors have appointments available for weeks, and I needed immediate help. I've had positional vertigo before, so knew what I had and which side, but have previously been dependent on seeing the doctor to fix it. Certainly, if I needed a doctor, I'd go to one. In this case, this was all I needed.
Very good video, thoroughly explained! I am suffering from vertigo for years! It’s a pain in the neck! Draining my energy and affecting my activities. I am going to try to this . Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information
Best explanation, and the process worked for my wife. Emergency room doctor attempted this process yesterday, but he missed some key steps, and it didn’t work! Thank you for the well done and thorough explaination.
This has helped massively, I have had these random vertigo spells for nearly 10 years, it always comes on when I’m putting my child into his car seat when my head is bent to the right and I am twisting to get him buckled up. My dr just have me tablets but it didn’t really help, and they said it’s due to stress!
I tried some other videos, but this one was the most successful in helping me to get over the vertigo. It was better for a few weeks, and then it recurred after using a nettie pot. Thank you so much for your help and any suggestions you might have.
This has to be the best, cleanest, straightforward, highly informative video on the Epley maneuver. My vertigo started suddenly 2nights ago, o literally thought i was dying 😭. I’ve googled and searched until i found this video. Thank you for keeping it simple and easy.!
@@jdssurf did the maneuver and stayed upright throughout 24hrs(no bending unnecessarily ). Tested it the next day on both sides and there was no rapid eye movement..all gone.
I was just diagnosed with BPPV by my ENT specialist and had this performed with also lights and a rotating chair. I was sooooo dizzy throughout the assessment and maneuvers that I almost threw up and had to wait over 30 min to ride the elevator back down in the hospital to drive home. I was very skeptical that this was the treatment for it but it HELPED. The dizziness and spinning wasn't as bad but I still have some mild dizziness and headaches so I go back next Monday. I might have to have it done again & hopefully it will help it go away. I suffered a concussion this past Jan 2022 from a fall so 3 months of this has NOT been fun at all. idk even know what vertigo was ever besides the Movie with James Stewart..lol..it's been a learning experience. This video is very helpful if I need to do this at home but I will make sure to show this video to my doctor and ask if it's ok later for me to do this as I now know the symptoms. Thanks for sharing it.
I really need to thank you for this video!!! You really helped me carry on with my day and get to normal activities. I have had to do it around 6 times and it’s an odd feeling but it sure does work!!
Hi Brenda if you don’t mind me asking how are you doing now I’m currently having bad anxiety do to the bppv and ur comment stuck out to me if you don’t mind letting me know if the vertigo has stayed away ?
Thank you SO MUCH! I had awful vertigo for days every time I turned my head to the right side, or rolled over while in bed. My vision would start to go black and my eyelids would blink rapidly. Followed the instructions over once and haven't had vertigo since! I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to drive my son to school for fear of crashing! Thank you so much!!!!❤
Thank you so much my mom felt so dizzy Thursday we took her to the ER Tishri stayed for 2 night and told us she was experiencing vertigo the way they explained it to us we were so confused but you have made it more clearly thank you I would be trying this at home
I have never had any issues with balance or dizziness but I woke up a couple of days ago and fell out of bed.I could not keep my balance and I was walking into things. I thought maybe I was having a stroke so I went to the emergency room. They did the MRI and CT scan and other things and determined it was most likely BPPV.I tried some videos I found on the internet the last couple of days and nothing seemed to work.After doing this video for the 3rd time It appears that all of my symptoms have been relieved. Thank you so much
This is most helpful vertigo video I have seen. Informative and clear with website to vestibular organization, which I am not even aware of. Thanks 🙏 so much. I look up and book an appointment to one close to home.
Thank you for such a clear explanation both on the why and the how - now I understand so much better and will definitely be trying this technique later today :)
Thank you so much for extra -explaining and showing the model of the ear. Amazing job, thank you for sharing your expertise and experience. Wish me luck. 🙏
🌸 May I suggest: Ms. Tate: Having your hair tied up would be helpful and a camera angle picking up both sides of your head in exercise 1. When you suggest we took her chin down, etc.. Last, please film the exercise for Vertigo on the “Left Side” as it would have been appreciated, as reversing everything from right to left positioning, while the room is spinning is quite challenging. Thank you for the video !
This is a brilliant video BUT please do a video for left ear vertigo! It’s just so much easier for me to follow your direct instructions when the vertigo is bad rather than having to try to reverse your instructions to suit the left ear!
I tried this at home and it made me sick as a dog. Weeks later I tried the Lempert Maneuver and it worked for me. There are several maneuvers to address the different flavors of ear issue.
This worked for me although it took me a few attempts to get it right. I found that it hurt my back or neck so I worked out that I could help by bending my knees a bit and lifting my butt, sometimes supporting my butt with my hands balled into fists. This let me relax a bit more, which helped the maneuver to work. I feel so much better.
I tried another version of this and it made my vertigo and nausea worse! After you explained this so well I cured my three days of hell in one manoeuvre ! Amazing thank you so much!👍
Thank you. Am going through this right now it’s awful. Nurse suspected I have sinus infection and I have a migraine as well. I will wait after the migraine passes to start this exercise. Right now I just cant trigger a dizzy spell.
I've only had BPPV three times and the last one was after a cleaning at the dentist. I noticed I was tilted low in the chair, and I didn't think about it too much it - I was focused on relaxing (it being the dentist, after all). Well, after the chair was raised I went to stand and BPPV had me SPINNING!!! It totally caught me off guard. I wonder what are other situations that you've heard about that cause BPPV?
Thank you so much for the video. This is my 4th time with virago. Will this always be apart of my life now? 😔 It used to be my right, and now it's my left! Is there anything I can do to prevent it from happening forever? Thank you again. This is the only thing that has worked for me. The first time I literally cried ever-day and throw up several times a day.
Excellent video, thank you. i have just one query. Towards the end you discuss whether the procedure has worked. YES if feeling a little dizzy in position 3, and NO if feeling dizzy when sitting up in P 4. I experienced significant dizziness when moving FROM P3 to P4. Does this mean the procedure didn't work?
Very good demonstration. I especially liked the model of the ear canals showing the mechanics. One question though: out of curiosity, are the crystals that we reposition in the canal part of the operations within the ear or are they a type of "debris" similar to crystals formed by the body with gout or kidney stones?
With my vertigo, it feels like I'm on a boat in a storm, and I also sometimes get dizziness without the vertigo. The room isn't spinning, but upjects especially in my side vision are moving slightly. It makes it challenging to watch TV or to read.
I fully endorse this video. Somebody who has suffered from this kind of vertigo numerous times, I always search my history for this specific video because it works every time

Does performing this procedure make you feel the vertigo real bad?
@@truedownmexican yes. Do it when you wake up, that's your best chance.
Sir... Plz tell me, how many times can a day.
It completely fixed the vertigo I was suffering from for over two years, i repeat it every six or seven months. I’m so grateful
Best explanation of the maneuver and of the cause of symptoms. Thank you for this video! We need more helpful videos like these on UA-cam! 👏🏼

Thank you for making this video. This manuever immediately made me sick and then gave me great relief. I so appreciate the clear instructions and information!
Thanks for being the only video that starts right away, instead of talking for ten minutes first!
Preach!
Would've been double good if she'd done it real time to help with counting. I kept forgetting Part 3
Still not the best one around. And details are important. Don’t be so impatient.
Try this one.

Thank you Dr. Tolman. I'm hoping this has been the reason for my vertigo, but either way, this Epley Maneuver video has got to be the best one out there. Very well done!
Thanks again! Vertigo has gone with just the one Epley Maneuver. Life is back to normal!
Best explanation on the internet. Grateful, Thank You.
This procedure cured my reoccuring vertigo experience, a fee years ago. Thank you so much! I recommend it to those who are suffering.🙂
Glad to hear that!
This procedure is brilliant and you explained it very well. It worked like a dream and my dizziness is gone. Thank you . Caroline . Australia
This is my go to video for vertigo. I have BPPV and when it hits, I follow this video to a tee and it has not failed me yet. THANK YOU For sharing and helping me manage my BPPV!
Fantastic Video!
Very well done. Dr. Tate explains everything so well and without any mistakes. She should be on TV!
Her voice can be heard well even when she is in the middle of demonstrating all of these positions. I am going to try doing these movements tomorrow to see if my dizziness/vertigo goes away.
Thank you so very much! I felt so much better after doing the Epley Manouvre from your video. Brilliant explanation of BPV Vertigo at the end of the exercise too. This was such a kindness!
Thank you Dr. Tate;
you have given me so much hope.
These videos are Life Changing!
This is amazing what you just explained. My mom is complaining dizziness since 1 month and I’m going to try on her this method. Greetings from Pakistan.
Thank you for such a thorough and easy to follow video! Who knew I could do this at home??? This has been a life-saver; I'm out of town, no local doctors have appointments available for weeks, and I needed immediate help. I've had positional vertigo before, so knew what I had and which side, but have previously been dependent on seeing the doctor to fix it. Certainly, if I needed a doctor, I'd go to one. In this case, this was all I needed.
Very good video, thoroughly explained! I am suffering from vertigo for years! It’s a pain in the neck! Draining my energy and affecting my activities. I am going to try to this . Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information
Best explanation, and the process worked for my wife. Emergency room doctor attempted this process yesterday, but he missed some key steps, and it didn’t work! Thank you for the well done and thorough explaination.
This has helped massively, I have had these random vertigo spells for nearly 10 years, it always comes on when I’m putting my child into his car seat when my head is bent to the right and I am twisting to get him buckled up. My dr just have me tablets but it didn’t really help, and they said it’s due to stress!
I tried some other videos, but this one was the most successful in helping me to get over the vertigo. It was better for a few weeks, and then it recurred after using a nettie pot. Thank you so much for your help and any suggestions you might have.
This has to be the best, cleanest, straightforward, highly informative video on the Epley maneuver. My vertigo started suddenly 2nights ago, o literally thought i was dying 😭. I’ve googled and searched until i found this video. Thank you for keeping it simple and easy.!
How diditgo
@@jdssurf did the maneuver and stayed upright throughout 24hrs(no bending unnecessarily ). Tested it the next day on both sides and there was no rapid eye movement..all gone.
@@grapevine4816 happy for you. I get this BPPV, but also have neck issues that cause dizziness, so tired of it.
I was just diagnosed with BPPV by my ENT specialist and had this performed with also lights and a rotating chair. I was sooooo dizzy throughout the assessment and maneuvers that I almost threw up and had to wait over 30 min to ride the elevator back down in the hospital to drive home. I was very skeptical that this was the treatment for it but it HELPED. The dizziness and spinning wasn't as bad but I still have some mild dizziness and headaches so I go back next Monday. I might have to have it done again & hopefully it will help it go away. I suffered a concussion this past Jan 2022 from a fall so 3 months of this has NOT been fun at all. idk even know what vertigo was ever besides the Movie with James Stewart..lol..it's been a learning experience. This video is very helpful if I need to do this at home but I will make sure to show this video to my doctor and ask if it's ok later for me to do this as I now know the symptoms. Thanks for sharing it.
I really need to thank you for this video!!! You really helped me carry on with my day and get to normal activities. I have had to do it around 6 times and it’s an odd feeling but it sure does work!!
Hi Brenda if you don’t mind me asking how are you doing now I’m currently having bad anxiety do to the bppv and ur comment stuck out to me if you don’t mind letting me know if the vertigo has stayed away ?
Dr Danielle, you have the best video explaining and showing this maneuver. Thank you so much!
THANK YOU for this detailed video. I did this maneuver once and it cleared up my vertigo 🙌🏼 I had been struggling for a week
Thank you SO MUCH! I had awful vertigo for days every time I turned my head to the right side, or rolled over while in bed. My vision would start to go black and my eyelids would blink rapidly.
Followed the instructions over once and haven't had vertigo since!
I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to drive my son to school for fear of crashing!
Thank you so much!!!!❤
Best explanation so far on the maneuver, in a way that one can understand the reason behind the positions and times, thanks!
Thank you so much my mom felt so dizzy Thursday we took her to the ER Tishri stayed for 2 night and told us she was experiencing vertigo the way they explained it to us we were so confused but you have made it more clearly thank you I would be trying this at home
Dr. Tate, thank you for such a thorough video!!! This helped me, OMG, dizziness is the worst! Thank you again!!!!
I have never had any issues with balance or dizziness but I woke up a couple of days ago and fell out of bed.I could not keep my balance and I was walking into things. I thought maybe I was having a stroke so I went to the emergency room. They did the MRI and CT scan and other things and determined it was most likely BPPV.I tried some videos I found on the internet the last couple of days and nothing seemed to work.After doing this video for the 3rd time It appears that all of my symptoms have been relieved. Thank you so much
Tried other remedies before I found this...
Worked first time...Thank you!!!
My friend is suffering from vertigo. Your video and explanations are VERY helpful!
Thank you Danielle for all that you do and provide to help people through this! Appreciate you so much!
An excellent, well-presented explanation and demonstration that is incredibly useful. Thank you.
This is most helpful vertigo video I have seen. Informative and clear with website to vestibular organization, which I am not even aware of. Thanks 🙏 so much. I look up and book an appointment to one close to home.
Thank you for such a clear explanation both on the why and the how - now I understand so much better and will definitely be trying this technique later today :)
Thank you so much for extra -explaining and showing the model of the ear. Amazing job, thank you for sharing your expertise and experience.
Wish me luck. 🙏
This is an excellent and thorough video and explanation! Thank you.
Thank You Danielle!! For gifting your PRESENCE along with the thorough information!. YOU ARE THE. B.E.S.T. :-))
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Tate. Schwew. I am happy to put vertigo behind me. It was like a month-long hangover.
Thank you for a brilliant video. It’s really helped me after just one attempt.
Thank you so much for this great explanation and resource. So helpful!
Thank you so much for this video. Was so clear. Followed your instructions and issue is now resolved. What a relief!!
Thank you, Danielle (Dr. Tate). Very nicely done--the best of all the videos I have seen.
🌸 May I suggest:
Ms. Tate:
Having your hair tied up would be helpful and a camera angle picking up both sides of your head in exercise 1. When you suggest we took her chin down, etc..
Last, please film the exercise for Vertigo on the
“Left Side” as it would have been appreciated, as reversing everything from right to left positioning, while the room is spinning is quite challenging.
Thank you for the video !
This is a brilliant video BUT please do a video for left ear vertigo! It’s just so much easier for me to follow your direct instructions when the vertigo is bad rather than having to try to reverse your instructions to suit the left ear!
Check this out :)

Well presented, very clear and right to the point. When I'm dizzy, I don't want a lot of chit chat. Thanks, You do know your job.
This worked. Thanks very helpful. I am glad it’s crystals and nothing too serious. God bless
I tried this at home and it made me sick as a dog. Weeks later I tried the Lempert Maneuver and it worked for me. There are several maneuvers to address the different flavors of ear issue.
This video was so helpful and informative. Also excellent job of giving instructions :-)
Had BPPV for about 2 weeks, tried a few other exercises but didn’t work. Did this one time and bppv is gone. Thank you so much!
This worked for me although it took me a few attempts to get it right. I found that it hurt my back or neck so I worked out that I could help by bending my knees a bit and lifting my butt, sometimes supporting my butt with my hands balled into fists. This let me relax a bit more, which helped the maneuver to work. I feel so much better.
I tried another version of this and it made my vertigo and nausea worse! After you explained this so well I cured my three days of hell in one manoeuvre ! Amazing thank you so much!👍
Thank you. Am going through this right now it’s awful. Nurse suspected I have sinus infection and I have a migraine as well. I will wait after the migraine passes to start this exercise. Right now I just cant trigger a dizzy spell.
This happens about once every 3 months and has been happening since grade 5. I also have frequently had ear infections as a child.
Most helpful. Thank you for sharing. Be well and stay safe
This has helped me several times. Thank you
I've only had BPPV three times and the last one was after a cleaning at the dentist. I noticed I was tilted low in the chair, and I didn't think about it too much it - I was focused on relaxing (it being the dentist, after all). Well, after the chair was raised I went to stand and BPPV had me SPINNING!!! It totally caught me off guard. I wonder what are other situations that you've heard about that cause BPPV?
Worked first time! Thanks
thank you so much for the very informative and helpful video, well done!!
Thank you so much for the video. This is my 4th time with virago. Will this always be apart of my life now? 😔 It used to be my right, and now it's my left! Is there anything I can do to prevent it from happening forever? Thank you again. This is the only thing that has worked for me. The first time I literally cried ever-day and throw up several times a day.
Thank you so much for a very descriptive information
You're welcome!
Excellent video, thank you. i have just one query. Towards the end you discuss whether the procedure has worked. YES if feeling a little dizzy in position 3, and NO if feeling dizzy when sitting up in P 4. I experienced significant dizziness when moving FROM P3 to P4. Does this mean the procedure didn't work?
Very well done. Thanks for the education.
very helpful and informative! thank you!
Very good demonstration. I especially liked the model of the ear canals showing the mechanics. One question though: out of curiosity, are the crystals that we reposition in the canal part of the operations within the ear or are they a type of "debris" similar to crystals formed by the body with gout or kidney stones?
Nice video to illustrate the technique. Thx a lot
Thank you so much for this useful video...
With my vertigo, it feels like I'm on a boat in a storm, and I also sometimes get dizziness without the vertigo. The room isn't spinning, but upjects especially in my side vision are moving slightly. It makes it challenging to watch TV or to read.
Thanks for a great informative video - I’m following your advice ☀️🙏
