| BPPV Anyone???
I woke up having symptoms this morning that have me thinking I may have BPPV........here is an inset explaining the problem.
In Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) dizziness is thought to be due to debris which has collected within a part of the inner ear. This debris can be thought of as "ear rocks", although the formal name is "otoconia"
Although this is what I think I really may have because when i woke up this morning I was having "bed spins" where any move I had I felt as though I was spinning in circles....
There are some rare conditions that have symptoms that resemble BPPV. Patients with certain types of central vertigo such as the spinocerebellar ataxias may have "bed spins" and prefer to sleep propped up in bed . These conditions can generally be detected on a careful neurological examination and also are generally accompanied by a family history of other persons with similar symptoms.
If anyone knows about this or has it or just has any advice as to what I should do please let me know! Thank you
