Can anyone tell me if noise triggers that dizzy feeling in them....noise seems to make my ears ache and i can't stand how i feel, i have to put cotton wool in my ears if my husband is snoring...i was in the supermarket today and the noise from the chill cabinets really got to my ears i felt funny and felt like a dizzy spell might come on.
I haven't seen the ENT doctors yet so i don't know if it's BPPV or something else any ideas.

BPPV stands for Benign Paroxysmol Positional Vertigo.
I think this means if you move your head to either the left of right you can bring on vertigo...if thats what your suffering from....hope that this helps

Thanks for the explanation of BPPV. That's not what is effecting my husband. It is mostly dizziness when getting up out of a chair. Or even when he is seated. The doctor only said he had Vertigo. Some help!!
