9:00 Learn more about vitamin D deficiency!
Today I want to cover a very specific type of vertigo called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
This type of vertigo makes you feel like you’re spinning when you’re not, and it’s the #1 cause of dizziness.
This condition is typically caused by a calcium crystal that has broken off and is in the canals of the inner ear that control equilibrium and balance.
There is a simple test called the Dix-Hallpike test that you can do at home to help determine if you have this type of vertigo.
Check with your doctor before doing this test to ensure you don’t have an issue with your cervical spine that could prevent you from rotating your neck.
After you perform the test and determine which side is causing a problem, you can try the Epley maneuver. The goal of this maneuver is to create different motions to slowly move the calcium crystal out of the ear.
An interesting systematic review and meta-analysis done in 2020 showed an association between low vitamin D and BPPV.
Vitamin D supports the absorption and transportation of calcium. It's important to note that some people have a genetic issue that causes normal vitamin D levels in the blood but not the tissues.
I believe one of the best natural remedies for BPPV is a combination of vitamin D3 and vitamin K2. For every 10,000 IU of vitamin D3, you would want 100 mcg of vitamin K2. Talk to your doctor about taking 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 500 mcg of vitamin K2 once a week for BPPV.

Thanks for watching! Talk to your doctor about these tips for BPPV. I’ll see you in the next video.
Ill save you ten minutes....the answer is Vitamin D w/ K2. The anount varies on age, weight ethnicity and location of living. Vitamin D will help lower free calcium in the body. The calcium is getting hung up in the ear effecting equilibrium....Your Welcome 😉
Thank you
Thank you
Thanks! 😊
Thank you 🎉
Ur the real mvp
My husband suffered with debilitating vertigo for 20 years. One morning we were about to have our morning coffee and he said, “I don’t think I’m going to have coffee today because I start feeling bad after I drink it”. He did not experience any vertigo from that day since and it’s been about 1year. He found that any consumption of caffeine, whether it be tea, coffee, soda, would bring on the vertigo. I hope this helps someone, God bless❤
This certainly helps, I experience it. Thanks.
My doctor also said do not consume consume chocolate alcohol and white light bulbs must be avoided
Thank you for your information ❤
Thanks a lot for sharing
It could also be related to migraines. Vestibular Migraine and BPPV are very common. If you treat the migraine with diet , for instance, no caffeine, chocolate, ( Migraine diet)..and if needed a migraine prevention medication helps too. God bless anyone suffering with vertigo, it is horrible.
I'm doctor, 59 years,I suffered from vertigo and headache for many months, got my every test done including xray PNS, chest, CT head. Audiometry, Epily maneuver etc. My vitamin D was also normal. At last the cause of headache and vertigo turned out to be due to butter I was using in morning breakfast. Vertigo was quite severe. Food allergies should be considered for vertigo and headaches
I stop taking aspirin cuse gave me vertigo. Some hot meals too.
How to find out what is causing this exactly I am having this and I am new to this
Hey Doc, did you do just a basic food allergy blood work test?
Was indeed bppv or just some other dizziness?
Butter? Like made from milk fat and salt, or was it some type of butter flavored spread?
Hahaha doctor watching you tube chanels, not very busy doctor
I was told in the E.R in the U.S I had a psychotic episodes. I was stunned, they could make an assumption like this. They gave me psychotic drugs..well you can imagine I got worst and was sleepy all day. Went to Mexico and the doctor there aced it! Bening Vertigo. This happen right after I gave birth to my child. One really needs to advocate for one’s health and take more than one medical opinion ; specially in concerning health issues. Dr. Berg thanks for bringing awareness to this condition ❤
Absolutely! There’s a reason they call it practice. Many times they’re just making educated guesses, the operative word being guesses. Many times they’re too busy to take the time to find a definitive answer.
Only in America. They are sadly lacking in Clinical experience.
Vertigo is one of the most terrible feelings in this world. Thank you so much for addressing this problem, Dr. Berg. You are such a HUGE help to us all!
Try migraine.
No. Dont.
@@Plethorality Vertigo is far worse...l suffered with both years ago...the migraines have ceased...but l still suffer Vertigo.
For 8 years I was in bed with vertigo that I describe as violent attacks (like a seizure) and or slow dizzy attacks that instantly made me sick for hours. 8 solid years of this to the point of literally praying I would die. Thousands of $$$$ to doctors who did NOTHING, NOTHING!!! They even treated me like a hypochondriac sometimes………this was throughout my entire 40’s, if I find out that a damn vitamin deficiency was causing this??? Someone is going to pay!!
…..moreover, my life was destroyed. I have never fully recovered socially or fully physically because I STILL have it just not nearly as horrible as before.
@@jefflanham1080 I am so sorry to hear of your experience. I lost time away from work because no doctor was able to diagnose my condition back when it first happened to me. The spin-off was horrendous in my work life, as a result. I believe going to the sea and being knocked around by the waves helped me to alleviate the terror of that feeling because I got relief. Later on, I learnt about vertigo and upon research, I realized that there are simple exercises (which I found on TH-cam) that could help to fix it quite easily, so far, when it occurs.
I suffered from this for 14 years it was so bad I had to go to a balance clinic. I suffered a constant sense of motion even when I wasn't spinny. The maneuver did not work. They told me this was my new normal. The episodes got worse the last 5 years ago. I had new neuro symptoms like constant falling, high stepping gate and no depth perception. Finally went to see a chiropractor. He said my Axis was off, the top vertebrae in your neck. He worked on me for 4 months and I started noticing my episodes had subsided, after a year my feeling of motion disappeared and for the last 4 years I am symptom free. I got more out of my chiropractor in a few years than I did all the specialist in 14 years. What a waste of that time. I am still going from time to time but I feel good and regained my confidence. Don't give up.
It’s actually called atlas. I have mine adjusted all the time. It helps.
Same! Activator chiropractic was most helpful and gentle. Often the C1 or C2 went out and caused the symptoms
I have the same symptoms and dealing with it for 10 yrs now, visited the best ENT, neurologist, name it all the docs but nothing helped me,They suggested to take anxiety meds but I was not for it. Now I stumbled upon this video and gonna try vit D3 with k2
@nimmikarthikeyan1984 any improvement?
🙏
I’ve suffered from this for years it’s horrible. I was praying yesterday about this and tinnitus so this video is very timely.
I recently gave up not just gluten, bit ALL grain. My tinnitus disappeared. Not sure how long it took. I noticed when it was there. But I'm guessing took a month or so.
No one notices when they don't have it!! So I can't say how long it took but it's been gone for about six months, I'd guess, and I dropped the grain seven months ago. DOn't know if this will work for you, but it's worth a try. ALso ALL joint pain is gone!!
Try the steady coach free course. I take Dr bergs vitamin d3 with k2 they are the best
I have tinnitus, very disturbing. What are some of the grains you give up?
@@authenticbusinessentertain153 For four months, ALL of them!! Everything was fine for over a year, then I cheated and ate some cheeze-its and a couple of other things. Rash and ocassional mild tinnitus came back. So, I'm back to NO grain again. FOr a couple of months, at which point I will try rice once in a while again.
I started getting random vertigo attacks several years ago and also became vitamin D deficient around the same time yet no doctors caught this. Thank you so much for this information! As everyone has agreed, this is a horrible thing to go through.
No problem. Glad to share this information. Take care.
Dr.porue no hCr este vídeo en español? Sufro hace muchos años de vértigo y creMe este problema a aruiDo toda mi vida no llevo una vida normal no puedo hacer nada vivo sola y crrMe es desesperante
I got rid of years of vertigo by doing these exercises devised by Dr Carol Foster. Just google : half somersault exercises for vertigo. These exercises put the displaced ear crystals back to their places. My problem was with my left ear, so ONLY did the exercises for the left ear. The relief is instant.
I’m type 2 diabetic, I suffer with vertigo, my doctor said not to take d3, I used to take it before then I stopped 😢
Vertigo sucks!
My dear mother passed away three months ago. She had this problem for a few years. She saw many doctors but her problem never went away😢. Live long doctor Berg🙏. The world would have been much better if we had more doctors like you. God bless you❤️
Hugs ❤
@@goshdarnit ❤️
She might had migraines without the headache. Many doctors don’t have a clue..
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Mum!
I'm very sorry for the loss of your mom 😔 🙏🙏
Trust me, vertigo...motion sickness, whatever you want to call it, is absolutely one of the worst things you could experience.....ugh, big time
I have it for 2 years imagine.
@@FJano12having it for 9 years cannot find the reason.
@@ramakrishnan9624 i have it since childhood more than 20 years and I lost all hopes of trying to get cure
I have had off and on since my last Stroke 07/2024
I have it for 3 years. All because of chronic emotional stress. I can't do anything. It's devastating.
I had dizziness so bad I didn't work or drive or do anything for a long time, I went to Drs and they never found anything wrong. But I was still very dizzy than one day I found a self help course on anxiety and learned that stress can cause dizziness, I started practicing all the advice In the course to lower my anxiety and the dizziness started slowly disappearing it's been completely gone for years now. Never underestimate the power of stress and the horrible physical body symptoms that it can cause
Thanks for your comment. I’ve been feeling like my body is veering off to the right? Is that vertigo? I feel disoriented. I also
Quit alcohol which I think doesn’t help the situation.
Chiropractic appointment ❤
@@emdieselify I don't drink and I have terrible vertigo for years, it comes and goes, sometimes its very severe. So its not the alco.
Was it the course from the steady coach? I just started it
& cortisol
Thank you so much! I was afraid this would be one of those sale presentation videos, but I was delightfully wrong. You truly are helping people. God bless you ❤
My 104 y.o. grandmother has been having this the last few years. It’s amazing how these videos come up at the time needed. Thank you!
the Epley maneuver really works! It helped me and my sister.
god bless your grandmother. 104 years is incredible.
Alot time it comes from the gut. Try pre and probiotic or b4 powder. It's a white color
Wow!!!! May we know her secret of longevity..regards. to your grand Ma...
@@jivory6131 Thank you. I believe my Dad does give her something like that but I will check.
Oh my gosh I suffer from vertigo it's terrible. Thank you Dr Berg for your help I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy
yup, it sux big time....nothing worse....hope yours has been terminated
Not yet I'm going to give Dr Berg's supplements a try. Sometimes it's so bad I vomit all day 😞
Her a chriopractec adjustment on the atlas and c1 it's fixed my vertigo
@@nancyroger6185 yup. I've had it too twice in my life. It was really bad. Throwing up all night/day because of the fast spinning. Only the exercise of laying on a bed and doing that head movement thing twice a day made it go away after 10 days
I would wish it on Bill Gates no problem.
My ex was an ENT doctor. I learned the Eply manuever at his practice and saw many patients with BPPV. I did the Eply manuever in office. Its simple and basically moves the crystal(s) out of the balance canal (where if thet are in either canal frew floating, your own movement causes crystals to move along the canal, causing dizziness, if the crytals are floating around the canal). It definitely works for BPPV patients but not all vertigo is caused by these crystals. This manuever can definitely help move them out of the canal to relieve symtoms.
Dr. Berg is spot on.
The Epley Maneuver was the ONLY thing that helped me years ago. BPPV was the absolute worst ever!
Unfortunately the Epley maneuver didn't work for my vertigo..
Theres also different manuevers for different areas the crystals may go into, just found that out in a book with different ones and where the crystals are.
@@LuvsSnoyou have to do dix halpike first as they watch your eyes then they figure out what manuver is needed.
@@wendyvillasenor8671do you mind sharing how you found the crystals in ur ears. Thk you.
You are amazing! It is so nice to see your face when I search for an issue I'm having and you have a video on it! I have been watching your videos for years and you are worth your weight in gold!!
I was suffering with horrible debilitating vertigo for years. Turned out it was none of this. I went to an ent had all of these tests done. Turned out… It was my eyes. Divergence insufficiency. I went to several eye doctors that couldn’t figure it out, then went to a specialist who immediately saw the problem and diagnosed me. I was prescribed eyeglasses with special lenses and it changed my life. It’s not 100 percent gone but I can live almost normal. Staring at my phone or scrolling on my phone can make it worse. Exercising my eyes outside on walks helps. My glasses help. A healthy diet helps. Avoiding staring at my phone for hours helps. Good luck everyone. I hope you figure out what is causing your vertigo. I know how awful it is.
@@imhappy83 yes! 🥰 I was disabled with vertigo. I’m not now. I hold a job and am always out etc.
What kind of specialist did you see? I've had dizziness 3 years, can't figure out why. I also have issues with my eyes. Optometrist and ophthalmologist says everything is fine, but it's not. It's preventing me from many things.
Go and check with ENT specialist
@@amr6559 just go to an eye doctor that is familiar with divergence insufficiency. And or to specifically check for that. I went to an eye doctor that specializes in like how brain damage or brain tumors affect the eyes. There are eye exercises you can do. That are very uncomfortable and bring on the vertigo but are necessary to help. Also the glasses with special lenses for divergence insufficiency to help realign the eyes. Keeping them in the right place.

I suffered 3 years of vertigo. After I was prescribed Vitamin D3, my vertigo gradually disappeared. Thank you for sharing this video.
Good to know that. I hope the same happens with me. It has been two weeks I have started taking Vitamin D injection. There is improvement and reduction in vertigo but not fully cured.
@helenevion4868 I completed 6 injections once a week for last 6 weeks
I am suffer 2 yrs vertigo ,my life is destroyed,,,,my vitamins d level is 0nly 8 ng , doctor prescribe vitamins d injection ,,I hope I am successful
What dose recommend your doctor vitamin d deficiency
@@ruchirabanerjee6104what dose recommend your doctor,,same problem,,
The video explaining exactly what happens to the calcium crystal was awesome! Thank you. It really helps me to understand exactly what is going on in the body.
My sister sent me this video. I had a horrible experience while on holidays. Couldn’t do anything by myself for over a month. Found this exercises mentioned he which helped me massively. Now ordered Vit D3+ K2. Thank you very much Dr. Berg ❤❤❤
I wld like to share with u my first encounter with vertigo. One morning i wokeup feeling my room spinning so fast and i was thinking in my heart how to go and see doctor. Thank God for His goodness i somehow pulled my pillow n laid my head on my pillow. Immediately the spinning stopped since then i dont have any more of it. Praise the Lord!
So god stopped your vertigo but lets children have their heads blown off in their classroom? Seems bizarre.
@@dragonwithagirltattoo598wow that's quite a reply Gez. Maybe you need to see a counselor or psychiatrist. Seriously!
Wow! I went to MD's, Neurologists and Chiropractors over the last 20 years for this. I get the answer from Dr Berg in a free video. I am very thankful that this man devotes his time and knowledge to help us. So many informative videos. The best channel on TH-cam, in my opinion.
@@XLR8RRICK Do you mind if I ask how old you are?
Definitely very informative and helpful.
Uhhh should you not try it first to see if it works for you?
@@XLR8RRICK You are so great! Keep it up!
Yes, he is a God send!
You describe the vertigo I feel and I have difficulty explaining it to those who don't have it. Your mind realizes that the world around you is not spinning, yet your vision is showing otherwise. It's scary, especially when driving.
Thank you for your channel
Get an eye examination, slight eye misalignment cause vertigo and bad motion sickness.
My Goodness Don't Drive
I have suffered from severe vertigo for about 20 years. Thank you for this information Dr. Berg. Your video and your prescribed information has changed my life. Thank you. I will say I am one that does not take any medication whatsoever. I’m 64 and relatively in good health and don’t like taking any drugs. Not even aspirin. Thank you.
I was diagnosed with BPV and nystagmus years ago as a teenager. It's awful!! I also used to get horrible migraines as well, and usually the two (vertigo and migraines) seemed to go hand in hand. Last year I went to a new doctor, a D.O., who suspected I had a Vit. D deficiency. She checked my blood and it turns out she was right!! I was shocked because I live on a farm and am always outside. I never would have thought I was Vit. D deficient! She put me on a prescription dose of the vitamin and guess what .- no more headaches and no more vertigo!!! It only took 40 years but hey, better late than never!!
So Happy for You, that You got the problem Resolved.
I am happy to know that your vertigo is gone. Hope the same happens with me. I am suffering from vertigo for last two months. Even I am Vitamin D deficent (7ng) so I have started taking Vitamin D injection weekly.
That’s fantastic!
May I ask how long did it take for you to feel a difference with vitamin D? Did you take a high dosage product?
Thank you so much.
@@c.c.1900 It really didn't take that long, maybe three weeks? I take a prescription level dose of 50,000 IU. It's made a huge difference!
If you have a serious lack of vitamin D but get sun regularly please, please check your calcium levels. If they are EVER ten or above get off the vitamin D! You may very well have hyperparathyroidism! Vitamin D suppresses PTH hormone while simultaneously opening the flood gates to high calcium. Do NOT expect your doctor to know this and do not rely on "normal" PTH levels to tell you have it. Seek a diagnosis with a parathyroid center who specializes in this. Even endocrinologists fail miserably in detecting it. It could save your life.
I love that this doctor, gives the whole information without sending us to watch a looong video. I never watched those videos it makes me mad. Thank you Dr.
😂
This video is giving me the first shred of hope I’ve had in a long time. Been dealing with chronic dizziness nonstop for the past three years. Maybe this will finally help me get my life back.
Wishing you the best.
Check your diet. You may have some blood pressure issues and need to watch your sodium intake.
Motion sickness tablets work for vertigo.
vaccine did it to me more pots though
Whenever I am reading about, or viewing a video like this, about the condition and treatment for BPPV I am thinking to myself that the presenter or author probably has never experienced BPPV in its worst form. If you have ever had this in the extreme, you would know that you have no control at all of your body and the very idea that you could easily fix this by way of a manoeuvre without assistance from other(s) is simply inconceivable. This is what happened to me the first time I experienced BPPV.
I was lying in bed and a wind gust caused the blinds in the window behind the bed head to bash against the window architrave. The noise startled me and I woke and tilted my head back and to one side very quickly (fright / spontaneous reaction) so as to see what was making the noise. Then, my head went into a very fast spin. My eyes were jumping from side to side at a very high rate. I involuntarily through myself out of the bed and ended up on the floor, pinned against the wall as my body tried to fight against the perceived movement in my brain. I started vomiting profusely (until there was nothing left to bring up) and my body dumped an enormous amount of fluid (sweat) such that I was dripping wet and my bed clothes were soaked. All this happened inside a couple of minutes.
It took 2 to 3 days before I could eat anything (in bed most of the time) and I had to take anti-nausea medication the whole time. It's bad (worst I have ever felt) and the very thought of inducing this experience again by way of a manoeuvre like the one described... well, I think I would rather die.
I did the maneuver on my own two different times when I had similar events that you described. If you have a friend or family member who can help, it would be much easier. The second time, I had my husband watch the videos and walk me through it. It is really hard to watch the video in that condition. Good luck!
Definitely see an ENT and vestibular therapist , but I know what you mean, I’m afraid to do the maneuver for fear it will dislodge the crystals again.
Just read about your terrible vertigo episode,I too had an episode a few days ago , I ran myself a bath and whent to lie back in the water and wham the spinning was terrifying I held on to the sides of the bath praying to god for it to end ,I lay there for some time and when it started to subside I was so scared to move in case it restarted . I honestly believe that unless you have actually experienced experienced this you would never understand how terrifying it is ,I get regular episodes but this was the worst ever and I live in constant fear of this recurring
I used to suffer frequently from BPPV. Since taking Vitamin D I have found that it has disappeared. Awesome!
What brand are you taking
vit d. Thanks
julie .... how much vit d you take. M in tropical country 1000iu of VitD is too much. I take 200iu only.
@@conanga …I live in Australia. I now take Ostelin Vit D 7000IU once per week (usually a Wednesday morning). 200IU is probably okay if you are outside a lot.
How long did it take for it to work? how long did you BPPV?@@juliefarrugia4669
You mean you didn’t opt for the experimental drug that’s 60% successful and $30000 a year? 😂
I had BPPV and did the video you showed and got the eye fluttering so I knew that was it. I had mentioned my dizziness to my chiro and he was the one who told me to do the Epley Maneuver. Having my husband behind my head to help with the angle and count the time using a timer on the phone for each position was very helpful. I normally have some dizziness due to my iron deficiency, but when the room spinning became a regular occurrence I knew something else was going on!
I was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease and BPPV vertigo approximately 12 years ago. I’m only still very young. I tried several different therapies and some worked and some didn’t so I decided to do my own research and you’re absolutely right. Vitamin D deficiency is one of the major factors of my triggers. I still have vertigo from time to time and I may walk like I’m drunk haha but the Dr’s could only treat the symptoms but not the cause. I’m not cured but life is a lot better knowing the changes I made saved me from being house bound.
Also if you give up sugar, it will cure you, and water fast and keto.
@@overcomer1679 I'd really like to know what you mean by water fast. Do you mean not drinking water because I have never heard of that. I was told to drink at least 1 liter of water daily.

My spouse had this years ago and we were terrified he was having a stroke. The epley maneuver worked. He used it occasionally naybe twice a year, but since going on Vit D3 plus K2, he hasn't had any issues. It's been many years.
Good to hear that. Thank you for sharing. Mind to tell which brand of vitamin D3 and K2 you bought?
Seemingly, out of nowhere, I began having episodes of vertigo. A couple of times, it has kept me confined to my bed for a day or two. I spoke with my doctor about it twice, and he assured me that it happens frequently to people in their mid-50s and later but offered nothing else. I've stopped driving for about 3-4 months now because of fear it will strike and I'll injure another driver. I have even spent a bit of time searching online for causes but wasn't able to find much useful info. This is the first I'm seeing about this epely method/procedure. Is this to be done during an episode of vertigo or can it be done when vertigo is not actively present? I'm asking because I don't want to trigger the vertigo -- by possibly moving a calcium crystal into the position where it may trigger the vertigo.
THANKS FOR SHARING.
I recently experienced vertigo suddenly and had all the symptoms listed in this video. It is frightening. Thanks to this video, I performed the Epley maneuver very...very.....slowly! No spinning. It has only been one day, but I can feel a huge difference. Thank you Dr Berg for all your hard work and dedication. Oh! And I am taking my D, K2 and spending time in the sun. Hopefully, never again vertigo!
This is amazing. I was diagnosed with BPPV about 15 years ago. I woke up one Sunday morning and the room kept spinning for no reason. I went to the ER because I was so scared. They said it was caused by a combination of a sinus infection and me recently traveling by plane. They prescribed meds that only made me sleep but I was down for over 3 weeks. Finally, an ENT did the epley maneuver to put my crystals back in my inner ear. I have suffered with vertigo off and on ever since. This makes me feel so much better. Thank you for the work that you do.
There is a tablet called SerC its marvelous its 32.95 in Australia but 20 tablets three tablets got rid of mine and mine was severe. 🌻☘
@@janettedavis6627 i take this med when ever i get vertigo and this really helps me a lot 3 times a day when ever i experience this problem
Epley may be necessary again. There is no dietary component.
I thought vertigo was caused by a Magnesium deficiency.
So you still have vertigo is what you’re saying ?
Thank you so much for your help Dr. Berg . Vertigo is one of the worst conditions I’ve been experiencing. It’s so depressing and debilitating because there is nothing to make it go away. Thank you for your help. May The Lord keep you healthy and safe.
There are several effective vestibular suppressant drugs.
I want to thank you so much I woke up with this my hubby found your video and it works wow I’m fine now took about 31/2 weeks god bless you for all your videos!
You provide so many keepers Dr. Berg! Thank you for all the research you are so good at❤
As a massage therapist for 28 years, I dealt with many cases of vertigo. Some were caused by whiplash injuries, while others were because of head forward postures due to sleeping with a large pillow or sitting in a lounge chair with a big headrest, or even looking down for hours at books or knitting. The muscles in the front and back of the neck are meant to share the work of holding the head up and keeping the eyes level. If the head is too far forward because the sternocleidomastoids (SCMs) are shortened and tight, the person may feel dizzy and off balance because the eyes can’t tell them if their body is upright. They may also have pain in the back of the neck because now those muscles are doing all the work of trying to pull the 11 pound head straight up against the tight SCMs. They will go for therapy and want work on the sore back neck muscles, which stretches them and allows the head to go even more forward. The solution is to first stretch the skin lengthwise over the SCMs, which sends a message through the nerves for the muscle to initially relax. Then the therapist can work to lengthen the now desensitized muscles. Gradually the patient works over a period of days or weeks to reduce his pillow height when in a supine position to the point of being flat with no support, then painlessly letting the head go a little bit back off the edge of the bed, and then finally being able to reach the arms up and back off the bed as well. All these should be done to the point of feeling stretch but not pain, so that the body does not react to protect by tightening up.
Can you tell us what type of streches can help?
It might be funny to anyone but I got rid of my vertigo by the simple advice of my doctor. I went to her clinic cuz my vertigo came back after a year of not having it. I was wearing a shirt with an apple on it. She advised me to eat an apple a day for my sake. Not for my vertigo but for health sake. So I bought apples and dice 1 and ate them up. Never have vertigo ever since. I didn’t even use the pills she prescribed to me. Just chewed some diced apples a day. Maybe the chewing helps me get rid of my vertigo. Lol! 🤭
@@juliennespiteri1974 …..the one I tried to describe at the end of my comment is best, done lying flat on your back on a bed, gradually lowering your head to the mattress with different height pillows over the course of days or weeks, until you can get the head to go back off the edge a bit without pain. Rolling the head from side to side also helps to stretch the SCMs. Basically anything to get you from a forward head and shoulder position to one where you are completely upright, especially the head. Since I can’t show you pictures, you can try googling stretches for the chest and front of the neck. You want to lengthen the anterior muscles, and THEN strengthen the posterior neck muscles. Good luck.
Thanks.
Great information
Oh my goodness! I have been diagnosed with Vit D deficiency. AND I suffer with Vertigo all the time. I have neglected taking the vitamin as I should. Thank you, so much, for this information!!!
Thank you, I had an episode of BPPV earlier this year and since I've been taking the calcium tablets with Vit D and Vit K2 I am feeling much better.
This makes perfect sense and unravels a mystery for me. I've had this occasionally for years and never knew why. It is debilitating and lingers, the most awful feeling in the world. Small episodes have happened while I was at the dentist, really horrible. In the past year it's been much better, but I didn't know why. Through optional wellness blood testing I found out that I was nearly deficient in vitamin D so I've been taking it for the past 10 months. In the last couple of months I've noticed the positional vertigo has not been an issue and I can even sleep on my right side which I've not been able to do in years. These dots have never been connected for me until this video. Now I'll add the K2 as well. A huge thank you!
I wish all doctors were as good as you. You are so kind and generous with your information. God bless you. ❤
Thank you for sharing valuable information about vertigo on TH-cam. Your insights have been helpful as I navigate through this challenging time with vertigo. ❤
My friend had bad vertigo. Went to a ton of doctors and as usually they could not help her. I brought her a beehive and while she was cutting the grass she got 11 stings in her head. She applied baking soda on the head. By the day after the vertigo was gone. 5 years later still no vertigo. Honey bees can spot blockages and sting to unblock the energy. .....
Yeah I probably wouldn't recommend that somebody get bee stings in their head. Maybe Manuka honey would help
I used to have this terrible vertigo experience very often since I started taking D3& K2 after listening yours pervious lectures I started feeling much better now I know the reason after listening to this lecture & I will try this more seriously on that proportions, Thanks Dr Berg
🌷❤👍
I was diagnosed with this years ago. And my Doctor did exactly what you showed. He had me lie down and he turned my head and then had me roll over and sit up. He prescribed Meclizine. But, since I’ve been eating a keto diet and taking vitamin D I haven’t had any issues.
Dr did the test on me i sat up and threw up about a liter of liquid. He apologized and said it was the most severe he had seen.
@Zeus-X1 no, I haven’t had an episode in years
I had this experience. It's very debilitating... a philippino doctor did this manoeuvre to me while in ED. I now can do this by myself if it happens again. Thanks Dr. Berg for diffusing this information to the world. ❤
Thank you Dr. Berg, I had recently started following you because of all the great insight you provide. I have suffered for years with random bouts of vertigo, so I was thrilled when this video came up in my feed. Sure enough I was recently tested by by my doctor and found to be deficient in Vitamin D. I’m taking your advice and praying it works !
This so interesting! I have suffered with vertigo for a number of years. Recently I had blood work done. I was low in vitamin D. I started taking vitamin D with K2. I have had some symptoms, but nothing like before. Thank you for such great information!
Thank you so much for this video Dr. Berg, I really needed this!
Thank you for the illustration of why you do the movements in the Epley maneuver. Most videos here only demonstrate the movements, but don't explain why you're doing each one. Yours is very descriptive and the animation shows why each movement is done. Thank you. Also, the vitamin D treatment along with the K2 is awesome. Thanks so much for such a helpful video.
Very happy I found this video. I was having dizzy bouts throughout the day for a couple of weeks, and went to see 3 different doctors. I even went for an MRI as suggested by one of the doctors. After seeing this video, I got myself checked and found that my vitamin D level was very low. With a daily routine of sunlight and supplements, I'feel much better now
Note that the Dix-Hallpike test and the Epley maneuver are for diagnosing and treating BPPV in the posterior canal. There are two more canals in each inner ear that can be affected by BPPV, and there are corresponding test/maneuvers for those two, as well.
Which are?!
@@TheJML1975 Being a non-expert and not wanting to provide potentially incomplete or even incorrect info I refer you to, for example, a TH-cam channel by Michael Teixido MD, who specializes in vestibular disorders among other things. His channel is very helpful. But the other two canals are the horizontal canal and the anterior canal. I have experience in that I did have both posterior and horizontal canal BPPV, and I did Epley (for the posterior one) and 360-Lempert (for the horizontal one) plenty of times.
@@hmmob3956 hey thanks, for the recommendation. 👍🏻
A physical therapist can also diagnose and treat BPPV.
You should consult an ENT and vestibular therapist for the diagnosis and treatment🙏🏼
This is a God sent! Bene having these vertigo’s shown up out of the blue for years. They just reappeared 2 days ago. And now I see this video in my account! The Universe is definitely listening and sending help! Thank you Dr! 🙏😇❤️
Motion sickness tables help with vertigo.
Thank you so much, it worked for me the first time I tried it, perhaps my situation wasn't too severe, i didn't feel sick either. God Bless you for all the work you do in helping people.😊❤
I suffer from this medical condition and it is debilitating! Vomiting, dizziness non stop, and I do this maneuver for a few times a week sometimes. My hubby helps me just in case I start vomiting. I also do some other movements with a ball that I bounce while tilting my head in various positions while I bounce. That also has helped me regain normality in my life. All these work out routines came directly from a specialist that worked at NASA; which, he put me through a testing workout in his clinic. Basically he definitely saved me!
Thanks for this. My dad suffers from vertigo and used to suffer from this form as well. I shared this vid with him immediately
Damn, I had this condition a month ago, that was the worst week of my life. Thank you for this video. To all the viewers believe me this information is gold.
I had an episode about 2 months ago. It lasted about 8 hours and it was miserable. The only way I could not have the spinning effect was to try and stare at something straight ahead. Lying down and closing my eyes made things worse. I had 6 bouts of vomitting. It was the worst.
and brother i need it. stinking vertigo has got ahold of me. It is such and unpleasant way to live. still haven't got mine under control I needed to hear this. My drs are of no help. thank u Dr. Berg. wish u were my dr.
@@nancypardee8310 I have this right now too hope we both find a way to cure this with Dr Bergs exercises. Let me know if you feel better and what you did. Good luck! ❤
@@NansGlobalKitchen it really is awful, huh. And people act like u can help it. It's the worst. and I will try and remember to tell you. Working on that also. thanks for the comment. Misery loves company. and how
@@goddesstc Mine lasted over a week although it got weaker each day. But the first day I was throwin up 20 times until I was completely drained and the only thing I was able to do was crawl on all fourth to get water and sleep on the right side because on the left I felt like I was ridin roller coasters 24/7
Best explanation and demonstration of the Epley Maneuver I've seen yet. Thank you!
Glad you like the video. Thanks for watching!
Thank You so much Brother ❤❤❤ Very very important and helpful video! I'll subscribe 😊
Dr Berg, you just changed my life! 3 years ago I had a sudden massive first attack that landed me in the emergency room. The did the Epily Manoeuvre on me at the hospital and gave me instructions to repeat it, but on the bed. When I tried it I got so sick that I couldn't continue. BUT your technique on the floor with a pillow was not so severe as the edge of the bed, and your method CURED me. After 3 years of suffering, every time I rolled over in bed or doing yoga, I would be so dizzy, day in, day out. But you cured me. I am eternally grateful.
Wow! Glad you’re feeling so much better. An ENT and vestibular therapist are helpful too🙏🏼
I’ve had this type of Vertigo 3 times in my life. It seems to recur about every 7 to 10 years. The doctors at the hospital told me people who’ve had it once are more likely to have it recur but they didn’t know why back in 1996.
The treatment of head and neck maneuvers was the one that helped me years ago. It was an Otolaryngologist that showed me.
Thank you Dr. Berg for explaining the treatment and correlation of Vitamin D and K to keep this debilitating problem at bay.
I’ve been taking Vit d about 5k- 10k per day with K2, and i used to still get spinning vertigo when my sugar goes high despite that. I found that when i started taking Benfothiamine, which i learned about from one of your videos. some 2-3 years ago, i have not had spinning vertigo as much as i did and if i ever do get it, it is not as bad. Thanks for providing some life-changing info on YT. A lot of what I learned from you have drastically affected my life positively.
What is benfothiamine? Thk u
@@libjane6710 It is a fat-soluble Vit B1 Thiamine supplement that has been used for a long time in different countries and the USA. Dr Berg has a very good video on Benfothiamine. He specifies the dosage needed.
@@libjane6710Type Dr. Berg and Benfotiamine in the search box of TH-cam. It should pull up his recent video talking about Benfotiamine and how it helps. I actually ordered my first order of Benfotiamine 2 days ago and am waiting for it to arrive by mail. Find his video and hope it helps you.
I had positional vertigo awhile back. I was laying in bed and just turned my head to one side, and the whole room started spinning around violently. It can make one motion sick. Then when I tried to stand up, I would feel my head spinning and I couldn't stay upright. When that finally stopped, I found that when I walked, I was being pulled to one side. It finally vanished, and I've been okay since. But, boy, is that CREEPY! I was diagnosed as Vitamin D3 deficient around that time. Took supplements, and haven't had a problem since.
I had the same thing happen to me. I was fine and went to bed. I woke up to go the the bathroom and the room was spinning. I also had to go number 2.. I felt like I had a touch of a bug going on. It scared me. I did this exercise and seems to be okay but my appetite hasn't returned. I'm going g to increase my vitamin d for sure
Please can you tell me that how long did it take you to get rid of this ?
@jrnfw4060 are you still having issues I had similar issues I don't always have it when I lay down sometimes I get vertigo. How do you know if your vitamin d deficiency
@@oshadhi4677 It just came and went. I'd have it for a few days, then it would go away. No specific time limit on my vertigo.
@@UGotHookah I learned about my Vitamin D deficiency when I had a complete physical done at the clinic I use. They test for that.
Currently, I'm not having the severe spinning vertigo, though occasionally I'm a little shaky on my feet and just have to be careful. It comes and goes.
I’ve had this condition a couple of times in my life. First time I had it was after a car wreck. It kinda corrected itself.
The next time was after my first time flying on a airplanes from Orlando to Greenville, SC.
I thought I had developed an allergy or something and my doctor was trying to correct it with a couple of rounds of antibiotics.
Then I was sent it an ENT specialist. He said “I can have you cured in 30 minutes”! Gave me these exercises to do. They were mostly exact to your exercise here but mine weren’t to turn to the opposite side but to hang head off the side of the bed turn head to the side of the dizziness until the spinning stops, turn face forward, sit straight up facing forward. Repeat for the same side until symptoms were gone. IT WORKS! Very rarely does it come back but when it does this exercise has been a blessing.
Thanks for sharing! Did it make you nauseated? I'm afraid I'll vomit if I try that.
@@denisea.9033 no nausea for me. Depending on your symptoms. You know everyone’s body is different.
@@JamieCamile495 good to know, thanks for responding.
@Denise A. At first when you lay back with your head turned towards the affected ear you may feel nausea but it will pass so just hang on for about a full minute without moving your position until the nausea stops then perform the other steps the same way of waiting til the nausea spinning comes to a rest.
@@randygarry3678 thank you for that peace of mind. It's only happened to me once, but I remember thinking I was going to be sick and quickly having to close my eyes to make it stop. Didn't wait around long enough to know if it would just go away.
I had this happen to me several years ago. I told my doctor that it feels like you're on a boat in the ocean during a hurricane. She said it's the most benign condition someone can have that makes you feel like you are dying. She is right. She got me to do the lying back while turning my head and watched my eyes. It was on the right side and the right eye is the eye that showed the reaction. It was horrible. I couldn't close my eyes or be in a dark room and turn over in the bed without feeling like I was in a violently rolling boat. I did the maneuver and helped some, but it took me months to get over it completely. I still sometimes have some dizziness, but it's a piece of cake compared to the BPPV. I take your Vitamin D3/K2 supplement, but I will up the amount for now.
Try B1 also it helped me a lot.
High dose thiamine plus vitamin D/k2 worked a miracle for me!
BPPV is horrid.
draw the mark of an X on a piece of paper,cellotape it to a door at eye level..........Then take step back and fixing your eyes on the X,then very quickley turn your head right and left 20times,keeping your eyes fixed on the X at all times....This eye exercise relieves the symptoms for me, and maybe for others that get vertigo.What triggers vertigo for me is when I am moving from one place to another in quick succession.
That's exactly how I feel sometimes. I can be walking and it feels like my foot is going to go through the floor. Other times, I feel like I'm on a boat in unstable waters. Other times I feel like my blood has drained completely to my feet or somewhere. In addition, both my ears feel itchy. Not sure if that too is part of the symptom. My doctor said it's vertigo and of course she mentioned medication. I'm not doing that. I just want to not have those episodes I described above. In addition, both my ears feel itchy. Not sure if that too is part of the symptom.
I suffered a lot of this in my early twenties because of this... full of sad memories. Doctors were clueless, sadly. And more sadly there are lots of clueless doctors littered all over the place. It's quite a pity.
Thank you Doctor Eric Berg.
clueless doctors on BPPV ? they all are !
What was your level ? Maybe not dangerous.
I have been diagnosed with BPPV -- it's horrible and debilitating. It comes on with little warning and makes me feel like I'm dying. Thank you for this information, Dr. Berg!
I know the feeling, be strong and look for the cause, mine was cervical linked
Still trying to figure out what’s causing mine.
My d was checked and I’m too high at 104? I still get vertigo with my eyes move crazy like that shown and puke and puke. Last week had it and one whole day in bed and no food. I take 10,000 with K2 and I never miss a day.
Vicopentene and gingko biloba capsules work great also.
😂 I know that terrible feeling of " like I'm dying"....as if we have ever died.
Thank you Doctor Berg. I've been waiting for your analysis on Vertigo. 👍👍👍
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

My Dad has this exact problem after suffering a stroke in January, will be trying this today, hope it works God bless you ❤🙏🏽
Tinnitus from stroke is quite different from this other condition...
@@flamingpieherman9822 Indeed, this type of vertigo is neither related directly to a stroke nor tinnitus. However I wish RR good luck in their endeavours.
Thank You, Dr. Berg. Wow! Remarkably timely. I was just advised by my PA of the Epley tx. Divine intercession !
Fascinating thank you! When i experienced this it was so scary and confusing and tho i figured out it was those little crystals, i had no idea Vitamin deficiency was responsible!!!
Years ago I was diagnosed with menieers disease which is having severe vertigo. I was told to lower the salt in my food as it was causing fluid retention in my middle ear. This helped greatly.
Same with me
@JUDGEMENT CAN YOU EXPAND WHY THIS COULD HAPPEN? I HAVE INCREASED MY SALT INTAKE SINCE IT HELPS MY LOW BLOOD PRESSURE AND COINCIDENTALLY I AM GETTING THE VERTIGOS WHEN I TURN MY HEAD.
THANK YOU. I AM TAKING AN EXCESS OF SALT LATELY (LOW BLOOD PRESSURE) BUT I STARTED HAVING VERTIGOS AND IT HAPPENS WHEN I MOVE MY HEAD. LOWERING THE SALT IN MY FOOD MAY BE MY SOLUTION.
@@lulazeta8965 yes lower your salt but check with your doctor. Salt is not good for us
I have menineers for 30 odd years there is now help if the sickness come on . Stess can bring it on . If I move my head like you saying it would bring the sickness on
God Bless Dr Berg.
Fr.
Same here 🌸 Dr Berg is one of a kind ❤ don't know any person in our modern times who helped humanity so much with his advices and care.
protect himmmm❤
I realized years ago that my vertigo occurred in winter & spring-not in the summer when I was outside in the sun. That’s when I started supplementing with higher doses of Vitamin D.
he is an incredible godsend to so many of us. What a legacy he has
Foster maneuver has helped me immensely
Thank you so much Doctor, for your video. It was a real eye opener, my mother suffers from vertigo. I have put her on the vitamins suggested. I am sure that they will make a difference. Thank you so much!
I've had this thing twice in my life. The last time was last year. The only cure for this seemed to be doing certain movements like you showed in this video. Both of those incidents lasted about 10 days total before it was totally gone. Every time I'd move my head even a little bit my eyes would do exactly that and the whole room was spinning fast multiple times a second. So I was throwing up a lot and only a specific exercise helped to get rid of it.
I don't understand how people here in the comments say that they or someone they knew had this for years. It's must've been mild for them because in this condition you literally can't even walk without hitting walls and throwing up right after because where ever you look everything spins so fast just by moving your head even a little bit
Woke up to room spinning violently. I have a colorful painting on my wall and I could see the all the colors on it whirrling around the room at 10,000 miles per hour. Only thing that stopped it was sitting up. Threw up for the next few hours literally crawling to the toilet because I couldn’t walk straight. Was the worst thing I ever experienced. I slept sitting up for the next week because I was terrified of laying down. Sleeping sitting up gets achy. For 3 days after the vertigo, every time I turned around even slightly I would get nauseous. Packed fresh ginger to chew on at work to help with the nausea. Like you said, I don’t know how people live with it for years, must be milder than what I experienced. Now when someone tells me they have vertigo it literally horrifies me. I have PTSD from it.
@@LemonScones Yeah. I sat down and tried to sleep like that too the first time i had it because i was too afraid to move my head in any direction lol. But after going to the doctor and getting a prescription for nausea the days went easier, even though everything was spinning still I didn't feel the overwhelming urge to vomit.
It can be triggered by side sleeping, and sometimes only one side is the culprit.
I had exactly the same as you in 1989. The worst experience of my life. I would rather have back spasms where I’m partially disabled than have to deal with that again. The room was spinning, and I was violently ill. I couldn’t move my head without throwing up. I got some kind of drugs from an ER and by the fourth day could manage to go out. It took two weeks to completely heal. I never knew what it was. Awful. I’m glad there’s more discussion of this now.
(Good thing I was still pretty young because I don’t think I could deal with it today.)
I I was having bad sinus issues during the time my vertigo hit. Very stuffy and fluidy. I started to wonder if it was all the fluid buildup between my ears that caused the crystals to get pushed around in my ears. So now every time I get mild vertigo coming on, I take a decongestant and Flonase. I don’t know if it’s working but I will literally do anything to prevent another violent episode. So I make sure to always have Sudafed Decongesetant in the house. It has to have pseudoephedrine in it which is only sold behind the pharmacy here in the US.
I’ve done the Epley maneuver for my mother many times. She’s almost 90. It works. She has suffered from vertigo for years. Doctors didn’t help. Just prescribed medication which didn’t help.
I had BPPV after a concussion from a bad car accident. Went to PT and they did the maneuver you showed - felt great after a day and no more vertigo. 🎉
Woke up yesterday and was literally spun out (per se)to understand what was happening everything was spinning. Also the nausea feeling was unpleasant. Thank God for Dr Berg🙏🏻
I'm glad you mentioned K2! A couple years ago I was starting to have vertigo upon lifting my head off the pillow in the morning. This was happening for several days in a row. I then learned that certain foods could exacerbate the problem (like coffee or chocolate) and in my case I thought it might have been dark chocolate (because I didn't drink coffee) so I stopped it completely.
Having heard that calcium crystals could be the cause, and knowing that K2 helps drive calcium out of soft tissue and into the bones, I immediately upped my intake of K2 by adding an extra 100 mcg. Since I was already taking 5K to 10K of D3 I didn't bother increasing my D3 intake. In any case the problem immediately went away, never to return. And to top it off I can still eat a couple squares of 85% dark chocolate every day with no issues but I have continued to take the extra vitamin K2 along with the vitamin D3.
I'm grateful to hear of your success to restored health. 💜
Please also note that Magnesium also drives calcium out of soft tissue & into the bone. It's indeed one it's many functions that occur daily (over 300+ enzymatic functions daily). Transdermal Mg is best to avoid unhealthy levels. Unfortunately, tests are inadequate at the moment, since 50% of Mg is in the bone & 47% to 49% is in the soft tissue, and approximately only 1% is in the blood.
Best of Heath to You💜
@@Nabiyah1 so u r saying magnesium must be taken with this too?
@@Nabiyah1 Thanks for the tip, I've been supplementing with magnesium for many years. I prefer magnesium bisglycinate. I've even heard that having low magnesium levels will also reduce vitamin D uptake and a large swath of the population is deficient in magnesium so supplementation is often critical for good health.
@@TomRommelmann You're welcome & agreed @ your thoughts. In case you're unfamiliar, the Magnesium RBC test is a better test for gauging magnesium levels than the serum magnesium test (standard).
Wow!! I just recently started taking K2 & D3 as well!! And noticed my vertigo started disappearing! I love dark chocolate too. Lol but I will do these exercises too! My Mom had same issues with crystals and inner ears. Interesting. She's better now . Thank for video. ! I indeed had a lack of Vit D ..bc I had stopped taking it. But I do think this is genetic issue!
It took me weeks to get over the vertigo. I woke up with it. Was in bed for 3 days. Saw my dr 2 days running. I was a mess. Took sea legs, my dad used to take it, he had a lifetime of ear problems. That worked until I could see the physio who showed me, the manover, you explained here. I have that wonderful affliction, insomnia. I take D3 k2 , go out like a light , that with magnesium. As I have chronic pain in my leg. Having tried every painkiller and sleeping med that is available on prescription. Vitamin supplements work! Funny that. I love your videos, they have such truth and explanations that are hard to find. Thankyou for this, I was sure it was a vitamin deficiency...😂
Your videos are truly amazing! I learn so much from you about my health. Your “alternative” cures should be first line approaches by MDs before pills are prescribed. We’ve created such a “fix it with a pill” society when the power of healing is often within us. You are truly a blessing!
Thanks Doc you are the
Best ,very Helpful
I suffered from vertigo a couple of years ago. I did the Epley Maneuver and it stopped. A year later I began taking Dr. Berg's D3 K2. Thank you Doctor for great supplements.
The Eply Maneuver is a life saver!
What is apley thing?
A maneuver that is supposed to put the ear crystals back in place with bppv.
It's the best and only D3/K2 I use and trust.
@@nathanzuborev2834 It's the animated procedure shown in this video.
As soon as this video popped up I immediately knew you were going to mention K2 because I have watched all your other videos and now I understand the roll of vit D3 and K2.Thank you very much, my wife had loose crystals and suffered badly before regularly taking these vitamins - now you have confirmed why she no longer suffers frequent dizzy spells. Thanks again Eric! 🤗
What is K2?
@@im_saved_by_grace did you watch the video?
@@lagunafishing yes
How much vitamin D and K2 does she take? My mom has Vertigo for 5 years and I wonder if K2 will finally help her.
I saw your video on tiktok and tried this and it's working! 🙏🙏🙏
That's amazing to hear!
Had this for the past week and it was the most frustrating and terrible feeling especially when you’re taking care of a toddler and your work requires you to move your head alot, thank god for youtube and that technique to get rid of the crystal out of the canal, took me 3 tries and it was gone.
This condition is soo scary. I had an episode while I was driving about two weeks ago 😬😳 Per usual, I missed work and felt like I couldn't do anything. Thank God for your useful videos Dr. Berg!!! 👏🏾
Terrifying ,I've had this too while driving ,
So did u overcome it and how?
I haven't driven for 3-4 months because I'm afraid of having it hit while I'm behind the wheel. The vertigo seems to come out of nowhere. I spoke to my doc about it twice but his response was basically that vertigo isn't unusual and I shouldn't worry about it. I spent a little time looking online, and this is the first I'm hearing about the epely method/procedure. Anyone know if this should be done in between episodes of vertigo or while actually experiencing the vertigo? I'm worried about moving a crystal back into a position that triggers the vertigo.
@@B_Bodziak One more caveat: if you do have BPPV but the crystal deposit is in an unusual location, then doing the most common Epley maneuver could indeed cause a worsening of symptoms, as you mentioned. The maneuver as demonstrated in Dr. Berg's video is the most common version, to treat the most common crystal location. There are 4 different versions of the maneuver that can treat when the crystal is in different locations of the inner ear tubes. There are many TH-cam videos of varying quality discussing BPPV and how to cure it, and some go into the different versions of the maneuver. But as I mentioned in my previous comment, BPPV specifically happens when moving the head; it is positional vertigo. So if your vertigo happens when you are holding your head still, it suggests you do not have BPPV, and the Epley maneuver will not be useful.
You talk about freaking out,, Almost three years ago I was driving on the interstate suddenly two semi trucks along the side of me and out of the blue I lost my ability to think rational. I literally screamed JESUS !!!! Oh my God !!!! I'm going to crash !!!!!
I literally lost all sense of coordination and helpless caused unbelievable panic sandwiched between two semi trucks !!!
By the grace of God , still screaming JESUS...
YES !! Im not ashamed to admit it,
believe me, when you truly feel your life is at stake you better believe it... ( you will call on the name of Jesus )
I slowed down and made it to the shoulder of the highway so my passenger could take over.
I still refuse to temp driving again on the interstate.
The only time I had vertigo was when I was serotonin/dopamine deficient.
This was because my body/brain knew that my muscle reaction would be defective, so it was giving me a warning to stay safe.
The remedy was a combination of St Johns Wort, to repress Monoamine oxidase, which would normally eliminate serotonin, and 5HTP, which gives the body what it needs to make serotonin.
Other things that can also help are, almonds, dates, and dark chocolate, but don't ask me why.
I just know they do.
.
May you have a healthy and prosperous life, thanks for giving a new life.
This makes a lot of sense for me personally. I had this version of vertigo in the winter of 2019-2020 and was so freaked out because it was happening to me all of a sudden at the age of 47. Because of the cold I was indoor all the time. These days I take the 10,000 IU with K2 pills daily. I feel great! Thank you doc!
Could you please link me to the supplement? Mine’s been retired, so looking for a replacement.. thanks
My mom is suffering from this and through your comment I guess she also has vitamin D deficient because she barely goes outside (since she stops working).
many got it after bill gates vaccination program ......
My mom used to get them really bad. For like 20 + years. She knew it wasn’t caffeine cause she didn’t drink coffee. She also didn’t drink sodas. She also used to get the worse migraines. She decided to stop eating dairy and later meat. She hasn’t had any vertigo or migraines ever since.
Thank U Dr. E!! Great n most helpful information!! 🤗
I remember I had random vertigo during COVID lock down.
I ended up going to a nose, ear, and throat specialist clinic.
They did several maneuvers while I was on a chair where it reclined so far back my head was near the floor.
I'm extremely thankful that fixed me right up.
My Mother suffered from vertigo. She also had high blood pressure, glaucoma, hair loss, & calcified arteries requiring CABG & carotid endarterectecomy. She was not a diabetic. She was a little lady who ate like a bird--avoided meat/eggs, but loved bread. She passed in 2017. I am a Masters level dietitian who was not taught about hyperinsulinemia/insulin resistance, which i believe was the cause of all her issues. I learned that from watching your videos.
I suffered with vertigo for years while also taking high amounts of vit D and K2. While I agree with Dr. Berg that it could be caused by low D mine was caused by histamine intolerance. Once I cut out coffee and high histamine foods I stopped suffering from vertigo and migraines. I take quercetin and DAO before eating (and digestive enzymes!) as well as NAC which greatly helps my nasal congestion I get from outside allergies and histamine foods. You can’t cut out all histamine you just want to keep your histamine bucket from overflowing. So if low D doesn’t seem to be your issue look into histamine intolerance-it’s a daunting diet but many people only have to do it for a few weeks to get the excess histamine out of their system or if your like me you might have to stay away from high histamine foods for longer. It’s worth it to feel better!
This is really helpful to me!!❤ thanks!!
What is DAO and NAC?
What is NAC??
You are a true blessing as a healer thank you.
Thanks
My BPPV started after my craniotomy.
5 years later I'm finally diagnosed with MCAS.
Since starting treatment my vertigo has improved immensely
Thank you for posting this Doc...Manu professional drivers experience some kind of vertigo from driving so much ..would love to see a video on this type of vertigo and how maybe it can be helped ?
