Dizziness & Vertigo Support Group

Some people experience vertigo when they change the position of their head rapidly, as when rolling their head on the pillow, looking down to tie their shoes, or looking up to reach for an item on a high shelf.

This vertigo is usually due to benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). It occurs when tiny calcium particles are displaced from their normal location to form sludge, usually in the posterior semicircular canal (one of the canals in the inner ear).

The disorder can often be cured by using the Epley maneuver to move the particles out of the canal and back to where they originated.

Go to the bottom of the page and read the chart like you are looking at a clock. Worked like a charm for me. Takes about 2-3 mins.
