    I've been prescribed meclizine which doesn’t help, been told by a neurologist that I may not want to know the root cause of my vertigo (as if alluding to a deadly disease), been told it's all in my mind... It's been so frustrating! Not one physician mentioned the existence of crystals - I did a lot of searching on dizziness issues and happened upon info about them. I was able to do the EM correctly once but it came back. I think it's a daunting task for professionals to get to the root of the problem and they don't want to take the time. I've just sort of learned to live with it. I wish you were in my region! Edit: P.S. I really appreciate your channel and the information you share - thank you!

    Thank you for your videos offering practical advice for people suffering from BPVV. Your hair salon tip is something I started on my own. My stylist doesn’t understand vertigo and said he thinks it’s funny. Actually used those words. “I don’t understand it. I just think it’s funny.” It was hard to keep going to see him after that, but I just had to rise above it and pray he never has to deal with it. Now just show up with a towel over my wet hair like it’s normal. I am so glad that you are sharing this kind of information.

    • @KimBellDPT
      @KimBellDPT 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The ear crystals are the most common cause of vertigo, called BPPV and I have videos on that too! Most cases of BPPV are idiopathic, so they occur spontaneously with no known cause. This video explains a possible connection if someone got a new onset of BPPV or labyrinthitis after they had an episode of acid reflux.

About 3 years ago I woke up one day feeling light headed and dizzy at first it would come and go but over the last year anytime I would lay on the back of my head or roll over side to side I would get really dizzy I would deal with it by avoiding those positions so I wouldn't be dizzy but then a few day's ago the ent diagnosed me with bppv he recommended physical therapy I went to therapy we did the epley maneuver 2 or 3 times I left the therapist that day feeling a constant dizziness that I've never had before, before it was only certain positions I couldn't bare the constant dizziness so I went online and decided I would try the BBQ roll maneuver and of course it made me even more dizzer than I was the day before with the therapist I'm in a horrible situation constantly feeling dizzy it all started Friday now its Sunday almost Monday morning I've been taking meclizine it helps with the vomiting but not much relief of dizziness I've reached out to my Dr my ent and the therapist and they are lost for words with helping me I was told to wait it out and see if it gets better I'm terrified this is my new world any help would help me even just reaching out talking to me would help I really hope to hear from you thank you for your time

Before the maneuver my dizziness was only when I would lay back on my head or turn side to side so I would try and avoid lying on my head or turning side to side and I would be fine but now I'm constantly dizzy that was on a Friday then Saturday I was so dizzy I went online and saw a BBQ roll maneuver and I tried it and unfortunately it made me even more dizzer than the therapist now it's Sunday almost Monday morning and I'm still so dizzy I can't do anything besides cry I reached out to my Dr my ent and the therapist for any help my Dr prescribed meclizine 25mlg it helps with the vomiting that the dizziness is causing but not the dizziness she told me to wait it out and see if it gets better with time and that was her only advice any of them had. I'm so terrified I'm going to feel like this forever I don't know what's wrong with me and I don't know what can help if you have any thoughts or advice I would love to hear from you just talking to me would help please reach out to me I appreciate your time so much thank you
