Today is day 36 of vertigo for me. This has been debilitating and severely impacting my life. I’ve gone to the ENT just to be told “wait it out” then back again and told to do PT and go low sodium. Nothing has been helping me. I found this video and while I can’t imagine doing the somersault exercise week 1 with how much I was spinning, I did it today and I felt better! I think if I can keep this up for a few more days I might actually be done with this horrible vertigo. THANK YOU THANK YOU . I honestly wanted to cry because I have been so sick dizzy and unable to do anything. I will keep up with this
Wishing U all speedy recovery from this scary conditions I have had it fr almost 30years sometimes i feel is gone forever I get relief fr a few months then it comes back with a vengeance.life is not good but now gotten used to it.i have done all that i cud but i guess it's frever
I'll be praying for you. Mine lasted 8 months and I had no ear infection or anything showing in an mri. No clue what caused it. I worry all the time it will come back.
I have suffered from this nightmare for a while back. It was so strong that I spent many badly slept or sleepless nights for months. I do not wish this to my worst enemy. The eppley maneuver helped me a lot but the cost was high. It triggered the vertigo so bad there was times I almost cried. It took a lot of courage to keep doing this exercises. But this is the way. You gotta go through the motions, Literally. Don't loose hope. As bad as it sounds it will pass.
@@ZAY902 yeah, I had to do them at least once per day for a long time. It only helped bppv, doesn't do anything if it's some other type of dizziness. At least for me.
This doctor is an excellent presenter.....clear, easy to understand, right rhythm of not too slow or fast, and really has excellent breakdown of each exercise. Kudos to him--great job!
New subscriber here. I'm a couple of weeks shy of 70yo and just got dxd with benign positional vertigo and was prescribed Epley maneuver, which was described but not demonstrated. I tried it at home and felt like I was going to fall off the edge of the bed and had trouble holding my head in position, so I'm not confident I'm doing it right. It's a Saturday so I can't get in to the doc for a few days, and I went looking for more info and found your channel. Thank you so much for the demonstration and the helpful hints. I feel confident enough to try again, and I'm looking forward to feeling less seasick, and also looking forward to learning more from you. Thanks again and I hope everyone is having a great weekend :-)
I was working on my truck in very awkward positions with my head and after a few days I felt so off balance and dizzy and sick to my stomach .. I went to the hospital after I almost passed out from walking and they told me the problem and gave me one exercise but didn’t seem to be enough to help , so I went back to this channel to see if there were any more exercises and sure enough you never fail ! Thank you so much for posting these exercises it’s really starting to help me get back to normal ! Been a long time subscriber to this channel and this is why 🙏
After about 18 months of not having any vertigo episodes I was all of a sudden experiencing some of the worst vertigo I have ever had. I was afraid to drive. I did the Brandt-Daroff exercise for 1 round and now my vertigo is completely gone! Literally 15 minutes of self treatment has freed me. I obviously don't know if/when it will come back but this has seemed cure me. I guess my crystals have been reset. Who knows what's gonna happen but right now I am elated. This is worth a try if you're suffering.
The Brandt-Daroff maneuver has helped me tremendously. Took me a while to get the courage to do it by myself but IT WORKS. I will continue to use it indefinitely for maintenance,
Thank you, Dr. Rowe, for posting this easy-to-follow video. I was suffering from SEVERE BPPV when I came across your video on the Eply Maneuver. I said; “No way I'm doing that!” Flop down on my bad side and rocket off out of control into space? Ha! So I started off doing the Brandt-Daroff Exercise which was easier, but still pure hell. After doing the Brandt-Daroff Exercise 20 times the BPPV symptoms decreased to the point that I was ready to follow the instructions in your video on the Eply maneuver. I did the Eply twice and my SEVERE BPPV was gone! It's been 7 days of no BPPV. To others suffering from BPPV - find the courage to do these exercises the result is worth the discomfort. I found that pounding the mattress with my fist helped during the wild rides. Thanks again, Dr. Rowe!
😂omg I’m so scared but your comment brought some comedic relief to my night while I’m dealing with this unwanted rollercooaster. I’m going to try the Epely tomorrow but today just doing the test I felt so dizzy in 5 seconds and gave up started crying for 5 min straight. I don’t know how I will stand 30 sec😢
@@lunarosa321 lunarosa: I completely understand your situation. Doing the Brandt-Daroff Exercise I could not stay on my 'bad side' for more than a few seconds before snapping back to my 'good side'. What I found was that if I forced myself to stay on the bad side the dizziness went away after about 15 seconds every time. When doing the Brandt-Daroff Exercise or the Epely maneuver don't expect the dizziness to last for the whole 30 seconds. Good Luck! Please post an update. (I used the word "dizziness" but we both know it's MUCH worse than that!)
@@lunarosa321 I posted a reply yesterday but it was deleted. I guess the reply was perceived as medical advice. So, I'll just say keep trying! These procedures can work. Don't be afraid. Please post an update at some point. Crying is allowed but laughing at this ridiculous situation is better.
Something that can help with vertigo as you are doing these maneuvers is to put in tight fitting earplugs or a few drops of olive oil and some cotton. This works because there is generally an increased pressure behind your eardrums when you are suffering vertigo and adding in either earplugs or oil and cotton, creates a bit of equalization from the outside. I have had vertigo for more than a decade and when I feel it coming on and I need to function, I plug my ears and do either the foster or epley
Thank you so very much doctor your exercises have changed my life I was suffering from vertigo from 1 week I used to cry I come over your video now it seems that vertigo never happened God always bless you 😊😊😊
This actually works, did this for the first time yesterday. Had vertigo for the last 7days , this is the first bit of relief I've had since. Thanks doc!
I am having vertigo for 3rd time in 20 years. Have been to chiropractor & acupuncture & ER. ER doc says all I need is exercises. I have tried the first 2 exercises on this video & so far they seem to be helping. Thank you.
My first bout with this vertigo was in 2020 and it put me in bed for 5 days! The first 6 hrs I couldn’t leave the bathroom floor because of the nausea! Went to doc on day 5 and went through the eply and started to get better right away. I have mild bouts now every now and then! I get well enough to forget about it then out of nowhere it reminds me it’s still around! Fortunately it has been fairly mild but bad enough to keep me from being motivated to do much except exercises. This couch method worked really well for me today! Thank you!
I first got vertigo in 2000 when flying to San Diego. A sudden drop over the mountains while i was retrieving my purse from under the seat set me into severe vertigo the next morning after waking. Hotel doc prescribed motion sickness meds and it got better later that day, but flying was not advisable. Fast forward, i still have bouts a few times every year. 5 years ago after the Epley maneuver, i sat down in a chair and it felt like the floor opened up and i was free falling. I held on and shook like a reed in the wind. Scared my husband. I get very apprehensive about doing any excercises now. Creeps me out. Elevator quick drops set vertigo off too. A lot of people suffer from vertigo. Its what caused the demise of my dear dad.
I had that happen to me. It was horrible. I did the Epley Maneuver 3 or 4 times that resolved the issue. Thank God for good teachers like you. You have to hang in there and do the maneuver several times until the symptoms are gone It works.
I have suffered from extreme motion sickness for over 3 weeks. PT did Epley manuver etc . Your example that worked for me was the somersault positioning. I am forever grateful for your example.
I just got over what I believe was a stomach virus (or food poisoning), and my vertigo was so intense I couldn’t pick my head up from my pillow. After whatever it was left my body, I was still left with a horrible spinning sensation - it was like I was permanently drunk for 5 days. I couldn’t figure out why I still had spinning when I knew I was rehydrated. I looked into vertigo and found this video, I tried all of the methods and they worked!!! I’m basically back to normal now. Thank you for this!! Literal magic.
@@DrRowe I just found you, thanks to my mother. Could you do a video on disembarkment syndrome and how to help it? I have a family member who suffers TERRIBLY with dizziness. She has been diagnosed with DS but I'm not so sure if that it a correct diagnosis. She is resolute to stay in her current condition because after all, these techniques are fpr BPPV
Mine started with severe vomiting that I thought was food poisoning or a virus too. After two trips to the ER they said it was vertigo. Now day 5 hoping it leaves soon. It's so scary.
Thank you Dr Rowe. Woke up with vertigo this morning. Did your exercises an felt some relief in 30 minutes. Will continue doing them today until the symptoms are hopefully totally gone. You are a godsend 🥰
My vertigo was getting worse and worse, until I woke up Christmas Day to go grab my almost 1 year old in the morning I almost fell onto the furniture. I decided to couldn’t grab her it wasn’t safe and that I should stay home for Christmas. Until I thought how can I stop vertigo and it brought me to this video. When I was pregnant your tips helped me so much with my sciatica pain so I was so happy to see there was a way to find instant relief. You literally saved me from being completely absent from my girls first Christmas. Thank you ❤
Thank you! The first method worked. I was skeptical but it totally stopped my constant vertigo that I have due to a cold. I was getting worried because lt was getting so bad that I couldn't even drive. Your a life saver
I am in the same boat. Bad cold, sinus issues leading to blocked ear and balance issues. I haven't been able to drive for a couple of weeks now. It really is debilitating. I am hoping these exercises help 🤞🤞🤞
سلام دکتر عزیز ممنون بابت اطلاعات عالیتون😍💐 من یه ماهه این مشکلو دارم و خوب نمیشم چندبار دکترم برام مانور انجام داده و حین تمرینات دوباره سرگیجه میگیرم لطفا بهم بگید بعد از مانور چه چیزایی رو باید رعایت کنم من مادر دوتا بچه هستم و خیلی اذیتم دارم دیونه میشم بازم ممنونم از لطفتون 💐😍
My mum had this during lock down for a number of days, couldn't see a doctor etc. The first one was a bit too hard for her because of her age and mobility, but the couch method worked basically the first time, like magic after suffering for days.
Thanks for this technique it worked me through I was uncomfortable from the beginning. I threw up in the process. Feeling much better now. Forever greatful. We pray to God to grant you more wisdom. Amen
When I went to ER in UT, they asked if had a hard bump on the head. I guess under certain circumstances, that can dislodge the crystals. We all get bumps, but mine was not even a hard one. I laid on my right , affected side I learned..& w/read..before the event occurred. I was told to keep my head elevated above my heart when sleeping..ever after. This has never happened again, but would if I lay on my right side. So this is good news in case needed. I won't try any unless forced to..again.
Day 1 of my first (hopefully last) episode at midnight was dreadful. I thought I was dying. Yelled like I was in he'll. It was addressed by Epley maneuver and 80% problem resolved in 10 minutes, thanks to diagnosis by my daughter. Rest 20% stayed in the form of dizziness and nausea. Then I saw these video. Did all of them on Day-4. It was 100% relief in few minutes!!. Hundred thanks for making this video. If you have BPVV, you will definitely get relief.
I was alone and woke up at 6 am to pee when I realized the room was spinning and I could not walk. I had to crawl on my stomach to open the door for the medics. I thought for sure I was dying, I didn’t say a word. Just said, ok, god help me.
I am suffering through this disaster after getting my both ears infection. In this condition I am unable to sit, stand or walk. Even while sleeping, I feel like falling from the sky and spinning head. Dear Dr. Your way of making it understand to us is really amazing. I am feeling better now just by watching it. I will try to fix it with your directions. If I am not able, then I will walk to the local hospital. Thanks for this life saving video.🙏
Thank you! I thought I was stuck with the feeling forever. Extremely noticable relief first try. I will do this a few times a day for now but thanks! I now see/have hope!!!
I have had vertigo for a few days but this has never happened to me aside from when I had an inner ear infection when I was a child. I was so freaked out the past few days but luckily I knew some people that deal with this. His descriptions made a big difference in the effectiveness of the exercise I believe because I did the first 3, went to sleep, and I feel a million times better. I'm still a bit dizzy but it's nothing like it was. I am so grateful that I found this video 🎉❤
@@ElMachoBorrachoDepending on the severity of your BPPV, be prepared for some potentially severe spinning, nausea and sometimes vomiting. Suggest instruction by a qualified medical professional to guide and assist your initial maneuvers. Then when you know proper techniques you might continue on your own. When I was taught, the room spun at a disturbing speed. 🍀
I'm so glad this video popped up in my feed. I've been having horrible dizziness and vertigo for about 3 weeks now and it's really crippling. I work from home but I've had to take time off because this has been so terrible. I'm seeing a PT tomorrow finally and I'm betting they'll help me with these exercises 🙌
This particular presentation was very helpful. My instant from nowhere vertigo came yesterday. I suffered through it because I was busy. Finally, I tried the maneuver from memory of a different video but then watched this one. I was “treating” the wrong ear! So in this video you’ll discover which side is giving you the trouble. Two times carefully following instructions, It Is Gone! Next morning now, no signs of dizziness.
I suffered this awful nightmare for more than eight years. I went through an ayurvedic treatment to get rid of it for the most part. But I learnt how to stop the vertigo in a few seconds whenever I had a crisis. This was to spray ear cleaning liquid into the ears. Two squishes and you're done. Of course it's important to have this handy at all times. I have it in my handbag all the time. Otherwise, use a dropper and just put water. For long time relief use a few drops of warm to hot sesame seed oil in the ears say once a week to keep ears clean, healthy and devoid of inner ear imbalance symptoms. Clear ears with cotton bud say half hour after oil drop. Works magic! The exercises you recommend are extremely difficult to do when the whole room is spinning at lighting speed and you can't even move your eyes.
my attack happened at my Brother's funeral, 2yrs ago, still have a problem, but has reduced over time, but that makes me forget sometimes, then I get a sharp reminder again,
I had vertigo so bad this past Monday that I had to call 911. I was throwing up and the room was spinning, horrible headache and neck ache. I will try the exercises. I pray they help me.
It works! For the 1st one i felt nothing, but the 2nd (Brandt-Daroff) made my head spinning a lot & throw out, when lye down sleep later another spin. Took a lot of courage to continue doing it(weekly :p , next time already seen much improvement) At 4th week, vertigo totally gone! Now i can sleep on left side after 3 months of suffering. Thanks a lot Dr Rowe, and everyone else who shared their experiences.
Thank you for giving several methods of therapy to try for relieving vertigo. I suffer with it from allergies - sinus, post nasal mucus, headaches, feels like cotton in my ears, etc. Problem is i also have tinnitus, & eye, head movevements & ( sometimes) even deep beathing causes tinnitus to sound staccato instead of steady noise. Also nausea with the dizziness makes me want to cry it's so relentless. I will try these exercises, hopefully they will be successful. Sinus meds helped, but now with heart issue, I'm not supposed to take them. Blessings to all who suffer ❤
Doctor: Thank You for the video and the professional advise provided. I must say as an active senior/retired veteran it is very much appreciated. Al sends
I have to try these!! I’ve had this since I was in high school and now I’m in my 30’s, I get really bad dizzy spells riding in the car, especially on the freeway (passenger) Once I screamed out load because I couldn’t take it, I take Dramamine and at times Bonnie (if that’s what it’s called) they don’t really help much anymore and I tried getting help from doctors but all they have said is “it’s fear” I still remember how I got it (if it is vertigo) I flew for the first time and was fine until a week or so after, we just got in the car from a party. We were crammed in the back because we had several people with us and I put my head down and then that bit of claustrophobia happened and since then I had a hard time at first riding in the car in which if I wanted a haircut and it was a far distance I preferred walking and walking we did and that took several months to conquer. With nobody really helping me it’s gotten a bit worse and I don’t really know what to do anymore so thank you for this!
I have had vertigo for 7 years,all of the males in my family have it past the age of 55, l got it at 64.l can't explain it but drinking coffee,and concentrating on something like reading, of working on my models will help make the vertigo go away for awhile. Hope this information helps someone with vertigo.
You are welcome so much!! I am feeling much better today. I am so grateful for your channel for all of the issues you have helped me with, thank you so much.
Thanks for giving us several options to help us when those dang “spins” invade our lives! So much emphasis is put in the Epley Maneuver to help with vertigo that I think many people are not aware - until NOW! - that other relief movements do exist. Keep all this good info coming!💕
Couple weeks ago vertigo hit me out of the blue. Never had it before, and never had problems with balance or anthing. But it was so debilitating, to say the least, that I couldn't move without help and severe motion sickness. Hospital had to stop diagnosing me that day because my reactions were frightening. They put me on a drip of ondansetron and kept me for 3 days. Still can't thru the full motions of these maneuvers and have to do very basic exercises atm and using a walker for safety. Even watching you makes my stomach churn LOL. But I can do most daily chores as long as I keep my head up (literally). I hope this resolves quickly.
I'm suffering from VERTIGO for a couple of weeks.. as I watched it try to do this, hope it will help me to relieve this.thank you for sharing your video. God Bless 🙏
I had vertigo so bad, woke up with it. I vomited, and it completely cured it!!😮 i think maybe the motion of being sick, moved the crystals in my ear. I feel so bad for people who have this.
I've had dizzy spells before as well as what i believe was a mild vertigo episode ... But this morning i experienced a truly terrible vertigo episode!..I tried a couple of these excercises and within about 25 minutes the vertigo and added nausea was completely gone!! The intense vertigo spinning around feeling took less than 5 minutes to dissapear! Thank u!
Recently diagnosed with this had been really dizzy for the past week went to the hospital the doctor done a manuver i was extremely unbalanced and extreme nausea the entire room was spinning it wasnt nice at all so im finding all these videos extremely helpful im still getting pretty dizzy but not as bad 😢
Same here I went to the urgent care and count find anything wrong I ended up goin to the ER a few days later and I was dizzy in the emergency room it’s a nightmare I just want to wake up from this nightmare going for almost 2 weeks
I was at a match event for singles and this guy who was in charge mentioned vertigo. I didn't know exactly what it was. the exercise I will take as you have decent videos. appreciate what you do.
Wow thank you so much, have had vertigo for 3 weeks and found this video - within doing the first one of the Foster Maneuver it had improved, the 2nd one I felt the best I had in weeks. I’m not even going to try the others as this works for me, thank you so much. It has been a scary time.
ty for sharing info for free vertigo is awful, my first experience was a month ago when I awoke in the middle of the night with the bed spinning. It felt like I was having an outer body experience and felt as if the I was levitating out of the bed, when I tried to get up off the bed I had no balance and almost fell my legs felt numb and my feet were also. After changing my diet considerably and with the help of quite a few chiropractors it has subsided considerably. Ty LORD for these compassionate chiropractors for sharing this info as I am 69 yrs old, with no car or way to get to a chiropractor for an adjustment. Praise GOD -YAH
I had 26 vertigo attacks over 2 years. Found out how to stop it in its tracks, when an attack was impending. I believe it's cause is congestion in the head esp in the lymphatics and sinuses. Anything else is just a trigger. So I deeply swallow it away in half to 2 hours. I'm probably clearing out the sinuses...then swallow any mucus that comes down. After swallowing, instead of breathing out, I take a deep breath in to create some sort of vacuum, to help dislodge or move more mucus. Since I did this for the last 2 attacks, I have been free of them for 2 years now. Unfortunately I have been left partially deaf in the right ear. My opinion is, that the rich 20/21st century diet and lifestyle in so-called civilised countries has contributed to the vertigo problem. Eg. Sugar, dairy and processed foods, esp in colder countries. Find out about detoxing the body, mindful diet, exercise, plenty of water intake as an improved lifestyle to avoid these savage attacks on our sensibilities.
I've been feeling i am going to fall out of bed. Fall over while walking, etc, it's s really weird feeling. Yes, there is some on/off dizziness, brain fog , edema(whole body) just a whole lot of rotten. I'm so excited to have found you today ..I've been praying.
THANK YOU, for your video of vertigo exercises..It really helps, I am 76 and I also feel the Vertigo is not good each day that I experience it..I will do your proposed exercises to help..THANK YOU..
I had an MRI done very recently. Results show a brain lesion on the right side of the frontal lobe which is responsible for Bell's Palsy. I'm also very dizzy most of the time. I will try these exercises and pray they stop the dizziness.
Hi doc ,this is a nightmare for me ,i ‘ve suffered vertigo for so long and it came on and off i was hospitalized for so many times and i learned to do some of the exercises i saw on you tube ,it’s been a long time that it didn’t trigger or recurr but at times i feel dizzy suddenly and i normally apply the finger thing and it helps ,but this time my dizziness is somehow a nightmare ,it’s quite worse i applied this epley maneuver and it went away till i have come across your exercises i wanna do the exercises in case i become dizzy again ,i’ve been your follower and a fan ,I’ve have had some back problems and has been doing your exercises and the pain is gone ,thank you very much doc you’re my refuge but going back to this dizziness ,i felt it again and i was like spinning ,my question is do i have to do all exercises that you demonstrated or you showed in your video that i just watched or can i just select one from those ?what’s your advice ?Can i just do the easiest one ?Thank you very much and am glad and thankful that i have found you ,take care and God bless❤lolita miranda from canada,bye.Mind you doc I’ve been doing also the tinnitus and relief and headache relief you demonstrated ,thanks a mill.
This is a great video, but what I think might also be helpful is if you demonstrate each maneuver in real time so we can see what it looks like fluidly. Again great video and the doctor did an amazing job slowly explaining everything
I had BPPV many years ago. Also battling Tinnitus for years. MRI soon hearing loss worse in left ear. Woke up at 3am and hardly could walk. Loosing my balance room spinning. I did this excersize 3 times today and will continue to do just because. I don't vertigo to return. It's horrible. Can't believe I suffered for years with vertigo. Once the ENT set my crystals I felt amazing. Good luck everyone.
I have tinnitus and balance issues for years, I have vertigo keeps coming back every 3 - 4 months, I'm currently on day 8 since vertigo started, it's absolutely awful, it's worse in morning and evenings not so much but it's still there, I was diagnosed with eustachian tube dysfunction and I was given a steroid nasal spray which didn't help as 2 days after starting that my vertigo appeared, then my doctor gave me betahistine tablets to try, it's that bad I'm housebound. I live alone and have anxiety so makes everything worse. I'm hoping this passes soon, so I'm able to go see my doctor and they mentioned referring me to a ent. The vertigo scares me so much it's absolutely depressing. I dread every day right now. Big hugs to you. Your not alone.
Just came across this yesterday, ive been through hell for the past 6 weeks, i fainted and ended up in a&e the doc told me i have bppv and its really taking its toll on me, im dizzy, nauseous, off balance, i have headaches and im at the point now where it's just too much for me 🥺 the doctor done the epley on me once i had a small bit of relief but feelings came back again, im gonna try do some of these exercises because im desperate, i just want to feel better, Christmas is in a few days and i just need some relief 🥺
So I tried the BBQ roll and the epley maneuver for the first time today at home and it worked! I got relief for the first time in weeks 😊 it felt great , I'm so thankful to Dr Rowe for making this video because I have felt to down and miserable and felt like I would never feel good again, I really recommend that everyone tried this because it worked for me I felt absolutely horrendous before this and literally 10 minutes later it went away! I'm going to continue to do these exercises and manuveres 3 times a day everyday until my vertigo is completely gone Thank you Dr Rowe for your help
To anyone out there that was reluctant to do these, like I was, because you know it’ll make you more sick: power through it. I started doing the one where you’re on your knees. Felt horrible after. Did it a couple times yesterday and again this morning. Huge difference! I feel so much better. Yesterday the world was a swirling mess and I could barely move my head without being tortured. Today, I’m a little woozy, but SO much better. Do what you can! You’ll thank yourself later
I tried the epley manuvere and instantly the vertigo was that intense I couldn't finish, my anxiety stops me unfortunately, I have tinnitus too I have eustachian tube dysfunction, I'm on day 8 of an awful vertigo attack, I've been given betahistine to try, I wish I could be brave and do the exercises but I live alone too and have crippling anxiety which makes doing the exercises impossible
Thanks for sharing this information with me. I just started getting this vitego symptoms . The doctor sold me I have crystal in my ear he gave a couple of excises to do I had a CT scan done he said I was just forgetful i had a bad case of dizzyness 2 days ago i will try this exercise you have prescribed
I’ve been having vertigo lately as well as a ‘roaring noise’ that sounds like a machinery motor in my right ear. The noise will stop for a few seconds and start up again. Is the noise being caused by the vertigo? This happened before too after having a bad cold or sinusitis. I am experiencing vertigo now and just tried the epley maneuver. I felt nauseous afterwards so I believe that’s a sign it’s working. I hope!! Thank you so much for your clear and concise instructions and demonstration.
Thanks. First time a year ago had vertigo episode. Scary. Did Epley. It worked immediately. But I wasn't prepared for the overwhelming rush of spinning and nausea. Threw up all over my poor husband, who was helping me. If doing epley maneuver, I'd recommend having someone help you go thru motions and to position your head when the spinning and nausea makes it really difficult. Had vertigo again last night. I think I inadvertently ended up doing the "buffalo roll" and it stopped. Will definitely keep this vid on hand should it happen again. Now have some more manuevers to try. Thanks again.
I get random vertigo now and then. Maybe 12 to 16 months apart. As soon as I feel symptoms I take 1 tablet of Meclizine, which helps in a short time. Then I immediately put on a Scopolamine patch which helps for 3 days or more. During that time I do Epleys with no nausea. Works for me. The only downside is dry mouth. But I would rather have that and sip water all day than be incapacitated with nausea.
These same symptoms have been a nightmare for almost 10 years. At first I was not able to understand the reason for my vertigo but now i know while sleeping on my right side I get vertigo. Medicines are a temporary relief. I do exercise quite similar to this which is nauseating. I still avoid looking at my phone while lying on the bed and when I am in the car as that increases my symptoms.
For all those who are suffering from Vertigo, I pray that you all get well soon from this fearful and scary medical condition. God bless you all !
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you❤
I’ve had it for a while. It normally hits me all at once. I’ve been dealing with it for a week now. It’s one of the most scariest things to experience
Thank you for detailed demo. Of exercise. May you stay happy & healthy.
Today is day 36 of vertigo for me. This has been debilitating and severely impacting my life. I’ve gone to the ENT just to be told “wait it out” then back again and told to do PT and go low sodium. Nothing has been helping me. I found this video and while I can’t imagine doing the somersault exercise week 1 with how much I was spinning, I did it today and I felt better! I think if I can keep this up for a few more days I might actually be done with this horrible vertigo. THANK YOU THANK YOU . I honestly wanted to cry because I have been so sick dizzy and unable to do anything. I will keep up with this
110+ days for me. I don’t think I can last much longer
Wishing U all speedy recovery from this scary conditions I have had it fr almost 30years sometimes i feel is gone forever I get relief fr a few months then it comes back with a vengeance.life is not good but now gotten used to it.i have done all that i cud but i guess it's frever
I'll be praying for you. Mine lasted 8 months and I had no ear infection or anything showing in an mri. No clue what caused it. I worry all the time it will come back.
@@ramsinbabakhan3629I went 8 months. Hang in there.
Father God, send THE WORD to heal now in Jesus name, Amen.
I have suffered from this nightmare for a while back. It was so strong that I spent many badly slept or sleepless nights for months. I do not wish this to my worst enemy. The eppley maneuver helped me a lot but the cost was high. It triggered the vertigo so bad there was times I almost cried. It took a lot of courage to keep doing this exercises. But this is the way. You gotta go through the motions, Literally. Don't loose hope. As bad as it sounds it will pass.
Exactly my story.
Thanks for sharing. My resistance is strong. I must push through and do these maneuvers.
2 Questions, did you do these exercises every day and that’s how it got better? Also does it work on any other dizziness symptoms other than vertigo?
@@ZAY902 yeah, I had to do them at least once per day for a long time. It only helped bppv, doesn't do anything if it's some other type of dizziness. At least for me.
Did you try to take vertigo meds?
This doctor is an excellent presenter.....clear, easy to understand, right rhythm of not too slow or fast, and really has excellent breakdown of each exercise. Kudos to him--great job!
I agree, he is such of good cheer and clearly consise, supremely gentle man. I am so happy to have found him.
New subscriber here. I'm a couple of weeks shy of 70yo and just got dxd with benign positional vertigo and was prescribed Epley maneuver, which was described but not demonstrated. I tried it at home and felt like I was going to fall off the edge of the bed and had trouble holding my head in position, so I'm not confident I'm doing it right. It's a Saturday so I can't get in to the doc for a few days, and I went looking for more info and found your channel. Thank you so much for the demonstration and the helpful hints. I feel confident enough to try again, and I'm looking forward to feeling less seasick, and also looking forward to learning more from you. Thanks again and I hope everyone is having a great weekend :-)
I was working on my truck in very awkward positions with my head and after a few days I felt so off balance and dizzy and sick to my stomach .. I went to the hospital after I almost passed out from walking and they told me the problem and gave me one exercise but didn’t seem to be enough to help , so I went back to this channel to see if there were any more exercises and sure enough you never fail ! Thank you so much for posting these exercises it’s really starting to help me get back to normal ! Been a long time subscriber to this channel and this is why 🙏
Try vestibular therapy
After about 18 months of not having any vertigo episodes I was all of a sudden experiencing some of the worst vertigo I have ever had. I was afraid to drive. I did the Brandt-Daroff exercise for 1 round and now my vertigo is completely gone! Literally 15 minutes of self treatment has freed me. I obviously don't know if/when it will come back but this has seemed cure me. I guess my crystals have been reset. Who knows what's gonna happen but right now I am elated. This is worth a try if you're suffering.
Anu updates?
That's what happened to me!
I feel hopeful from reading about your experience
I'm suffering 2 years, only now understood it I have the dizziness. And I have too seen this exercises more helpful.
The Brandt-Daroff maneuver has helped me tremendously. Took me a while to get the courage to do it by myself but IT WORKS. I will continue to use it indefinitely for maintenance,
Thank you, Dr. Rowe, for posting this easy-to-follow video.
I was suffering from SEVERE BPPV when I came across your video on the Eply Maneuver. I said; “No way I'm doing that!” Flop down on my bad side and rocket off out of control into space? Ha! So I started off doing the Brandt-Daroff Exercise which was easier, but still pure hell. After doing the Brandt-Daroff Exercise 20 times the BPPV symptoms decreased to the point that I was ready to follow the instructions in your video on the Eply maneuver. I did the Eply twice and my SEVERE BPPV was gone! It's been 7 days of no BPPV.
To others suffering from BPPV - find the courage to do these exercises the result is worth the discomfort. I found that pounding the mattress with my fist helped during the wild rides. Thanks again, Dr. Rowe!
😂omg I’m so scared but your comment brought some comedic relief to my night while I’m dealing with this unwanted rollercooaster. I’m going to try the Epely tomorrow but today just doing the test I felt so dizzy in 5 seconds and gave up started crying for 5 min straight. I don’t know how I will stand 30 sec😢
@@lunarosa321 lunarosa: I completely understand your situation. Doing the Brandt-Daroff Exercise I could not stay on my 'bad side' for more than a few seconds before snapping back to my 'good side'. What I found was that if I forced myself to stay on the bad side the dizziness went away after about 15 seconds every time. When doing the Brandt-Daroff Exercise or the Epely maneuver don't expect the dizziness to last for the whole 30 seconds. Good Luck! Please post an update.
(I used the word "dizziness" but we both know it's MUCH worse than that!)
@@lunarosa321 I posted a reply yesterday but it was deleted. I guess the reply was perceived as medical advice. So, I'll just say keep trying! These procedures can work. Don't be afraid. Please post an update at some point. Crying is allowed but laughing at this ridiculous situation is better.
Something that can help with vertigo as you are doing these maneuvers is to put in tight fitting earplugs or a few drops of olive oil and some cotton. This works because there is generally an increased pressure behind your eardrums when you are suffering vertigo and adding in either earplugs or oil and cotton, creates a bit of equalization from the outside. I have had vertigo for more than a decade and when I feel it coming on and I need to function, I plug my ears and do either the foster or epley
@@PopsSinging good advice
@@PopsSinging great tips
Thank you so very much doctor your exercises have changed my life I was suffering from vertigo from 1 week I used to cry I come over your video now it seems that vertigo never happened God always bless you 😊😊😊
Ive been dizzy and lightheaded for months seem to not go away
Does this work
This actually works, did this for the first time yesterday. Had vertigo for the last 7days , this is the first bit of relief I've had since. Thanks doc!
I am having vertigo for 3rd time in 20 years. Have been to chiropractor & acupuncture & ER. ER doc says all I need is exercises. I have tried the first 2 exercises on this video & so far they seem to be helping. Thank you.
My first bout with this vertigo was in 2020 and it put me in bed for 5 days! The first 6 hrs I couldn’t leave the bathroom floor because of the nausea! Went to doc on day 5 and went through the eply and started to get better right away. I have mild bouts now every now and then! I get well enough to forget about it then out of nowhere it reminds me it’s still around! Fortunately it has been fairly mild but bad enough to keep me from being motivated to do much except exercises. This couch method worked really well for me today! Thank you!
I first got vertigo in 2000 when flying to San Diego. A sudden drop over the mountains while i was retrieving my purse from under the seat set me into severe vertigo the next morning after waking. Hotel doc prescribed motion sickness meds and it got better later that day, but flying was not advisable. Fast forward, i still have bouts a few times every year. 5 years ago after the Epley maneuver, i sat down in a chair and it felt like the floor opened up and i was free falling. I held on and shook like a reed in the wind. Scared my husband. I get very apprehensive about doing any excercises now. Creeps me out. Elevator quick drops set vertigo off too. A lot of people suffer from vertigo. Its what caused the demise of my dear dad.
I had that happen to me. It was horrible. I did the Epley Maneuver 3 or 4 times that resolved the issue. Thank God for good teachers like you. You have to hang in there and do the maneuver several times until the symptoms are gone
It works.
3 or 4 a day ?
Yes that’s what I did …3 epley maneuvers per day and I did mine for 3 days and it was gone !
I have suffered from extreme motion sickness for over 3 weeks. PT did Epley manuver etc . Your example that worked for me was the somersault positioning. I am forever grateful for your example.
Same here that made a big difference
I just got over what I believe was a stomach virus (or food poisoning), and my vertigo was so intense I couldn’t pick my head up from my pillow. After whatever it was left my body, I was still left with a horrible spinning sensation - it was like I was permanently drunk for 5 days. I couldn’t figure out why I still had spinning when I knew I was rehydrated. I looked into vertigo and found this video, I tried all of the methods and they worked!!! I’m basically back to normal now. Thank you for this!! Literal magic.
Glad to hear that!
How many days it take to cured and how many times u do those exercise in a day ?
@@DrRowe I just found you, thanks to my mother. Could you do a video on disembarkment syndrome and how to help it? I have a family member who suffers TERRIBLY with dizziness. She has been diagnosed with DS but I'm not so sure if that it a correct diagnosis. She is resolute to stay in her current condition because after all, these techniques are fpr BPPV
This came on after a virus too! It’s been 2 weeks! Looks like this Dr. Is a God send. Will try tomorrow.
I’m so happy for you.
Mine started with severe vomiting that I thought was food poisoning or a virus too. After two trips to the ER they said it was vertigo. Now day 5 hoping it leaves soon. It's so scary.
Thank you Dr Rowe. Woke up with vertigo this morning. Did your exercises an felt some relief in 30 minutes. Will continue doing them today until the symptoms are hopefully totally gone. You are a godsend 🥰
Thank you, will have to try them. Praying for healing for all those affected 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤
❤🙏🏽
My vertigo was getting worse and worse, until I woke up Christmas Day to go grab my almost 1 year old in the morning I almost fell onto the furniture. I decided to couldn’t grab her it wasn’t safe and that I should stay home for Christmas. Until I thought how can I stop vertigo and it brought me to this video. When I was pregnant your tips helped me so much with my sciatica pain so I was so happy to see there was a way to find instant relief. You literally saved me from being completely absent from my girls first Christmas. Thank you ❤
PT just did the Epily Maneuver. After 7 hours of not moving my head…as if in a C collar….I was cured. I had vertigo for 16 days! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Did it ever come back?
@@ELBAMBIROJO ???????no..I’m still good.. i’m glad I chose to be patient and sat for 7 hours…it was worth it!!!!!!
Its been @ least 9 months now…
@@WRITING-DRAGONS it worked really well for me. I was back doing sports the next day
This Dr. Has actually experienced this himself!
That’s authentic!
I’ve had to sleep sitting up for 2weeks due to vertigo.
Thank you! The first method worked. I was skeptical but it totally stopped my constant vertigo that I have due to a cold. I was getting worried because lt was getting so bad that I couldn't even drive. Your a life saver
Glad it helped!
I am in the same boat. Bad cold, sinus issues leading to blocked ear and balance issues. I haven't been able to drive for a couple of weeks now. It really is debilitating. I am hoping these exercises help 🤞🤞🤞
You’re
They have vertigo meds which help. I took Advil cold and sinus, but going to the doctor in case of inner ear infection
سلام دکتر عزیز ممنون بابت اطلاعات عالیتون😍💐
من یه ماهه این مشکلو دارم و خوب نمیشم چندبار دکترم برام مانور انجام داده و حین تمرینات دوباره سرگیجه میگیرم لطفا بهم بگید بعد از مانور چه چیزایی رو باید رعایت کنم من مادر دوتا بچه هستم و خیلی اذیتم دارم دیونه میشم بازم ممنونم از لطفتون 💐😍
I was diagnosed with BPPV a few days ago, no aches, no nausea nor vomiting. This looks a good alternative to the prescribed meds for it.
My mum had this during lock down for a number of days, couldn't see a doctor etc. The first one was a bit too hard for her because of her age and mobility, but the couch method worked basically the first time, like magic after suffering for days.
It's one that has helped me too, really easy to do.
Thanks a lot ❤
Thanks for this technique it worked me through I was uncomfortable from the beginning. I threw up in the process. Feeling much better now. Forever greatful. We pray to God to grant you more wisdom. Amen
need to tell everybody that I had severe vertigo. Wim Hoff breathing exercise took care of it almost immediately. I am amazed and so grateful.
Sudafed saved my life. Stopped my debilitating vertigo in 30 minutes
@@mel...s thanks
@@mel...sTell me more. I've had it for two years on and off.
26 years later I am taking Vertigo testing. Problems related to surving near fatal bus accident. Will try this excerise.😊
When I went to ER in UT, they asked if had a hard bump on the head. I guess under certain circumstances, that can dislodge the crystals. We all get bumps, but mine was not even a hard one. I laid on my right , affected side I learned..& w/read..before the event occurred. I was told to keep my head elevated above my heart when sleeping..ever after. This has never happened again, but would if I lay on my right side. So this is good news in case needed. I won't try any unless forced to..again.
Day 1 of my first (hopefully last) episode at midnight was dreadful. I thought I was dying. Yelled like I was in he'll. It was addressed by Epley maneuver and 80% problem resolved in 10 minutes, thanks to diagnosis by my daughter. Rest 20% stayed in the form of dizziness and nausea. Then I saw these video. Did all of them on Day-4. It was 100% relief in few minutes!!. Hundred thanks for making this video. If you have BPVV, you will definitely get relief.
I thought for sure this has to be death.
I was alone and woke up at 6 am to pee when I realized the room was spinning and I could not walk. I had to crawl on my stomach to open the door for the medics. I thought for sure I was dying, I didn’t say a word. Just said, ok, god help me.
I am suffering through this disaster after getting my both ears infection. In this condition I am unable to sit, stand or walk. Even while sleeping, I feel like falling from the sky and spinning head.
Dear Dr. Your way of making it understand to us is really amazing. I am feeling better now just by watching it. I will try to fix it with your directions. If I am not able, then I will walk to the local hospital.
Thanks for this life saving video.🙏
I really hope you get some relief! I'm suffering right now, as well, and it is truly debilitating.
Thank you! I thought I was stuck with the feeling forever. Extremely noticable relief first try. I will do this a few times a day for now but thanks! I now see/have hope!!!
In my case, the first exercise in 30 seconds actually cured my vertigo. Much appreciated.
♥♥
I have had vertigo for a few days but this has never happened to me aside from when I had an inner ear infection when I was a child. I was so freaked out the past few days but luckily I knew some people that deal with this. His descriptions made a big difference in the effectiveness of the exercise I believe because I did the first 3, went to sleep, and I feel a million times better. I'm still a bit dizzy but it's nothing like it was. I am so grateful that I found this video 🎉❤
Love the maneuvers that my patients can do most easily. I know I’ve said this before but thanks again for a great video.
Thank you again!
I suffer from vertigo. I got nausea just by watching you doing the exercises! 😂 I will try it, though. Thanks
With hearing aids or?
Hearing aids in or on. ?😢
@@ElMachoBorrachoDepending on the severity of your BPPV, be prepared for some potentially severe spinning, nausea and sometimes vomiting. Suggest instruction by a qualified medical professional to guide and assist your initial maneuvers. Then when you know proper techniques you might continue on your own.
When I was taught, the room spun at a disturbing speed. 🍀
I'm so glad this video popped up in my feed. I've been having horrible dizziness and vertigo for about 3 weeks now and it's really crippling. I work from home but I've had to take time off because this has been so terrible. I'm seeing a PT tomorrow finally and I'm betting they'll help me with these exercises 🙌
Where did you find a PT for these specific exercises
This particular presentation was very helpful. My instant from nowhere vertigo came yesterday. I suffered through it because I was busy. Finally, I tried the maneuver from memory of a different video but then watched this one. I was “treating” the wrong ear! So in this video you’ll discover which side is giving you the trouble. Two times carefully following instructions, It Is Gone! Next morning now, no signs of dizziness.
I am so glad to find this, as I have my crystals out of place right now.
I suffered this awful nightmare for more than eight years. I went through an ayurvedic treatment to get rid of it for the most part. But I learnt how to stop the vertigo in a few seconds whenever I had a crisis. This was to spray ear cleaning liquid into the ears. Two squishes and you're done. Of course it's important to have this handy at all times. I have it in my handbag all the time. Otherwise, use a dropper and just put water. For long time relief use a few drops of warm to hot sesame seed oil in the ears say once a week to keep ears clean, healthy and devoid of inner ear imbalance symptoms. Clear ears with cotton bud say half hour after oil drop. Works magic! The exercises you recommend are extremely difficult to do when the whole room is spinning at lighting speed and you can't even move your eyes.
Wonderfully comprehensive video for a terribly debilitating condition. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you, and thanks so much for watching!
98 3rd
my attack happened at my Brother's funeral, 2yrs ago, still have a problem, but has reduced over time, but that makes me forget sometimes, then I get a sharp reminder again,
I had vertigo so bad this past Monday that I had to call 911. I was throwing up and the room was spinning, horrible headache and neck ache. I will try the exercises. I pray they help me.
It works! For the 1st one i felt nothing, but the 2nd (Brandt-Daroff) made my head spinning a lot & throw out, when lye down sleep later another spin. Took a lot of courage to continue doing it(weekly :p , next time already seen much improvement) At 4th week, vertigo totally gone! Now i can sleep on left side after 3 months of suffering. Thanks a lot Dr Rowe, and everyone else who shared their experiences.
Courage? Yes! For that long,? Oh my 🙏🏼
Thank you for giving several methods of therapy to try for relieving vertigo. I suffer with it from allergies - sinus, post nasal mucus, headaches, feels like cotton in my ears, etc.
Problem is i also have tinnitus, & eye, head movevements & ( sometimes) even deep beathing causes tinnitus to sound staccato instead of steady noise. Also nausea with the dizziness makes me want to cry it's so relentless. I will try these exercises, hopefully they will be successful. Sinus meds helped, but now with heart issue, I'm not supposed to take them. Blessings to all who suffer ❤
Thanks for your time
THANK YOU so much for supporting the channel, I appreciate it! - Dr. Rowe -
OMG! Thank you! I came here to find a video about vertigo and you uploaded it a few hours ago 🙏
Hope the exercises help!
Doctor: Thank You for the video and the professional advise provided. I must say as an active senior/retired veteran it is very much appreciated.
Al sends
Thanks for sharing this info. I am suffering now with this terrible condition. Thanks again for this great video🙏🌹
❤I tried his exercise when I have a sciatic pain very effective thank you doc you have a very clear English
I have to try these!! I’ve had this since I was in high school and now I’m in my 30’s, I get really bad dizzy spells riding in the car, especially on the freeway (passenger) Once I screamed out load because I couldn’t take it, I take Dramamine and at times Bonnie (if that’s what it’s called) they don’t really help much anymore and I tried getting help from doctors but all they have said is “it’s fear” I still remember how I got it (if it is vertigo) I flew for the first time and was fine until a week or so after, we just got in the car from a party. We were crammed in the back because we had several people with us and I put my head down and then that bit of claustrophobia happened and since then I had a hard time at first riding in the car in which if I wanted a haircut and it was a far distance I preferred walking and walking we did and that took several months to conquer. With nobody really helping me it’s gotten a bit worse and I don’t really know what to do anymore so thank you for this!
I suffered horrible vertigo some years ago and controlled it with accupuncture. I still get it sometimes but have learned to control it.
Thank you so much, the BEST I have seen on TH-cam. THE BEST ❤❤❤
I'm into this bout for over a month now. Can't seem to get through these exercises because I get too dizzy and sick. 😵💫 I will keep trying.
This is an answered prayer. Thank you.
Glad you found the video!
I currently have vertigo I was planning to go to hospital tomorrow. Thank you Dr
What did they do for you?
I have had vertigo for 7 years,all of the males in my family have it past the age of 55, l got it at 64.l can't explain it but drinking coffee,and concentrating on something like reading, of working on my models will help make the vertigo go away for awhile. Hope this information helps someone with vertigo.
You are welcome so much!! I am feeling much better today. I am so grateful for your channel for all of the issues you have helped me with, thank you so much.
Glad you're getting relief and thanks for watching!
Thanks for giving us several options to help us when those dang “spins” invade our lives! So much emphasis is put in the Epley Maneuver to help with vertigo that I think many people are not aware - until NOW! - that other relief movements do exist. Keep all this good info coming!💕
Thank you so very much Dr. Rowe. You are an Angel. Thank you and God Bless you, sir 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching!
Thanks doc its helpful! The first exercise is what we Muslims do many times in a day, its called sujood in our prayer
Couple weeks ago vertigo hit me out of the blue. Never had it before, and never had problems with balance or anthing. But it was so debilitating, to say the least, that I couldn't move without help and severe motion sickness. Hospital had to stop diagnosing me that day because my reactions were frightening. They put me on a drip of ondansetron and kept me for 3 days. Still can't thru the full motions of these maneuvers and have to do very basic exercises atm and using a walker for safety. Even watching you makes my stomach churn LOL. But I can do most daily chores as long as I keep my head up (literally). I hope this resolves quickly.
I'm suffering from VERTIGO for a couple of weeks.. as I watched it try to do this, hope it will help me to relieve this.thank you for sharing your video. God Bless 🙏
I had vertigo so bad, woke up with it. I vomited, and it completely cured it!!😮 i think maybe the motion of being sick, moved the crystals in my ear. I feel so bad for people who have this.
I have vomited of vértigo like 4 times in 12 months so for me it comes back strong from time to time. Hope you did healed🙏🏻
How are u now?
I've had dizzy spells before as well as what i believe was a mild vertigo episode ... But this morning i experienced a truly terrible vertigo episode!..I tried a couple of these excercises and within about 25 minutes the vertigo and added nausea was completely gone!! The intense vertigo spinning around feeling took less than 5 minutes to dissapear! Thank u!
You’ve made me realise I’m lucky to have a mild case 🙏
Recently diagnosed with this had been really dizzy for the past week went to the hospital the doctor done a manuver i was extremely unbalanced and extreme nausea the entire room was spinning it wasnt nice at all so im finding all these videos extremely helpful im still getting pretty dizzy but not as bad 😢
Same here I went to the urgent care and count find anything wrong I ended up goin to the ER a few days later and I was dizzy in the emergency room it’s a nightmare I just want to wake up from this nightmare going for almost 2 weeks
Are you better now elizabeth?
Thank you for sharing so many different exercises. It helps to have more options when some maneuvers look to scary to try.
I was at a match event for singles and this guy who was in charge mentioned vertigo. I didn't know exactly what it was. the exercise I will take as you have decent videos. appreciate what you do.
Wow thank you so much, have had vertigo for 3 weeks and found this video - within doing the first one of the Foster Maneuver it had improved, the 2nd one I felt the best I had in weeks. I’m not even going to try the others as this works for me, thank you so much. It has been a scary time.
Excellent. It is so easy to understand and straightforward . It's very effective exercise anybody that suffers vertigo. ❤❤❤❤.
The foster maneuver is excellent!
ty for sharing info for free vertigo is awful, my first experience was a month ago when I awoke in the middle of the night with the bed spinning. It felt like I was having an outer body experience and felt as if the I was levitating out of the bed, when I tried to get up off the bed I had no balance and almost fell my legs felt numb and my feet were also. After changing my diet considerably and with the help of quite a few chiropractors it has subsided considerably. Ty LORD for these compassionate chiropractors for sharing this info as I am 69 yrs old, with no car or way to get to a chiropractor for an adjustment. Praise GOD -YAH
So clear explanation for BPPV,Vertigo…. thank you and be a blessing. Thank you for your share.❤
Thanks for watching!
It worked... so great.... worked after the doctor we went to just tried to throw drugs at the problem. Thank you for this!
I had 26 vertigo attacks over 2 years. Found out how to stop it in its tracks, when an attack was impending.
I believe it's cause is congestion in the head esp in the lymphatics and sinuses. Anything else is just a trigger.
So I deeply swallow it away in half to 2 hours. I'm probably clearing out the sinuses...then swallow any mucus that comes down. After swallowing, instead of breathing out, I take a deep breath in to create some sort of vacuum, to help dislodge or move more mucus.
Since I did this for the last 2 attacks, I have been free of them for 2 years now.
Unfortunately I have been left partially deaf in the right ear.
My opinion is, that the rich 20/21st century diet and lifestyle in so-called civilised countries has contributed to the vertigo problem. Eg. Sugar, dairy and processed foods, esp in colder countries.
Find out about detoxing the body, mindful diet, exercise, plenty of water intake as an improved lifestyle to avoid these savage attacks on our sensibilities.
Thank you!!! This provided relief for me. It actually and literally worked.
I've been feeling i am going to fall out of bed. Fall over while walking, etc, it's s really weird feeling. Yes, there is some on/off dizziness, brain fog , edema(whole body) just a whole lot of rotten. I'm so excited to have found you today ..I've been praying.
THANK YOU, for your video of vertigo exercises..It really helps, I am 76 and I also feel the Vertigo is not good each day that I experience it..I will do your proposed exercises to help..THANK YOU..
I had an MRI done very recently. Results show a brain lesion on the right side of the frontal lobe which is responsible for Bell's Palsy. I'm also very dizzy most of the time. I will try these exercises and pray they stop the dizziness.
I'll pray for you also 🙏🏽
my vertigo started today & I can’t do this anymore I’m scared that I’ll never be the same.
Hi doc ,this is a nightmare for me ,i ‘ve suffered vertigo for so long and it came on and off i was hospitalized for so many times and i learned to do some of the exercises i saw on you tube ,it’s been a long time that it didn’t trigger or recurr but at times i feel dizzy suddenly and i normally apply the finger thing and it helps ,but this time my dizziness is somehow a nightmare ,it’s quite worse i applied this epley maneuver and it went away till i have come across your exercises i wanna do the exercises in case i become dizzy again ,i’ve been your follower and a fan ,I’ve have had some back problems and has been doing your exercises and the pain is gone ,thank you very much doc you’re my refuge but going back to this dizziness ,i felt it again and i was like spinning ,my question is do i have to do all exercises that you demonstrated or you showed in your video that i just watched or can i just select one from those ?what’s your advice ?Can i just do the easiest one ?Thank you very much and am glad and thankful that i have found you ,take care and God bless❤lolita miranda from canada,bye.Mind you doc I’ve been doing also the tinnitus and relief and headache relief you demonstrated ,thanks a mill.
Thank you for easy to follow excercises and clear explanation
This is a great video, but what I think might also be helpful is if you demonstrate each maneuver in real time so we can see what it looks like fluidly. Again great video and the doctor did an amazing job slowly explaining everything
I had BPPV many years ago. Also battling Tinnitus for years. MRI soon hearing loss worse in left ear. Woke up at 3am and hardly could walk. Loosing my balance room spinning. I did this excersize 3 times today and will continue to do just because. I don't vertigo to return. It's horrible. Can't believe I suffered for years with vertigo. Once the ENT set my crystals I felt amazing. Good luck everyone.
I have tinnitus and balance issues for years, I have vertigo keeps coming back every 3 - 4 months, I'm currently on day 8 since vertigo started, it's absolutely awful, it's worse in morning and evenings not so much but it's still there, I was diagnosed with eustachian tube dysfunction and I was given a steroid nasal spray which didn't help as 2 days after starting that my vertigo appeared, then my doctor gave me betahistine tablets to try, it's that bad I'm housebound. I live alone and have anxiety so makes everything worse. I'm hoping this passes soon, so I'm able to go see my doctor and they mentioned referring me to a ent. The vertigo scares me so much it's absolutely depressing. I dread every day right now. Big hugs to you. Your not alone.
The two words of wisdom that apply to every, single one of your videos: "Stay tuned!"
Thanks again for staying tuned 🙂
Thanks so much very helpful clear and simple. The best that I know of! You are the winner! Thanks again
Thanks for watching!
Just came across this yesterday, ive been through hell for the past 6 weeks, i fainted and ended up in a&e the doc told me i have bppv and its really taking its toll on me, im dizzy, nauseous, off balance, i have headaches and im at the point now where it's just too much for me 🥺 the doctor done the epley on me once i had a small bit of relief but feelings came back again, im gonna try do some of these exercises because im desperate, i just want to feel better, Christmas is in a few days and i just need some relief 🥺
So I tried the BBQ roll and the epley maneuver for the first time today at home and it worked! I got relief for the first time in weeks 😊 it felt great , I'm so thankful to Dr Rowe for making this video because I have felt to down and miserable and felt like I would never feel good again, I really recommend that everyone tried this because it worked for me I felt absolutely horrendous before this and literally 10 minutes later it went away!
I'm going to continue to do these exercises and manuveres 3 times a day everyday until my vertigo is completely gone
Thank you Dr Rowe for your help
Subhan Allah these exercise we Muslims prayers (practice) five times a day exactly as he said 2 or 3 hours gap.
Alhamdulilah for being Muslim.❤
not even close. sorry.
Very good and sympathetic summaries of various manoeuvres. Thanks A LOT !🏆👍🤓
Thanks for watching!
To anyone out there that was reluctant to do these, like I was, because you know it’ll make you more sick: power through it. I started doing the one where you’re on your knees. Felt horrible after. Did it a couple times yesterday and again this morning. Huge difference! I feel so much better. Yesterday the world was a swirling mess and I could barely move my head without being tortured. Today, I’m a little woozy, but SO much better. Do what you can! You’ll thank yourself later
I tried the epley manuvere and instantly the vertigo was that intense I couldn't finish, my anxiety stops me unfortunately, I have tinnitus too I have eustachian tube dysfunction, I'm on day 8 of an awful vertigo attack, I've been given betahistine to try, I wish I could be brave and do the exercises but I live alone too and have crippling anxiety which makes doing the exercises impossible
These videos are SO helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
very informative short video, thank you !
Awesome Doc. I have tried your exercises and it is very very effective..thankyou so much!
Great to hear!
Thanks for sharing this information with me.

Thank you for sharing. This is quiet useful. I have suffered for past 10-15 years or so with fainting yearly. Running out of options. I will try this.
I’ve been having vertigo lately as well as a ‘roaring noise’ that sounds like a machinery motor in my right ear. The noise will stop for a few seconds and start up again. Is the noise being caused by the vertigo? This happened before too after having a bad cold or sinusitis. I am experiencing vertigo now and just tried the epley maneuver. I felt nauseous afterwards so I believe that’s a sign it’s working. I hope!! Thank you so much for your clear and concise instructions and demonstration.
The Foster maneuver is what has always worked for me and I've only had to do it once each time.
Thanks. First time a year ago had vertigo episode. Scary. Did Epley. It worked immediately. But I wasn't prepared for the overwhelming rush of spinning and nausea. Threw up all over my poor husband, who was helping me. If doing epley maneuver, I'd recommend having someone help you go thru motions and to position your head when the spinning and nausea makes it really difficult. Had vertigo again last night. I think I inadvertently ended up doing the "buffalo roll" and it stopped. Will definitely keep this vid on hand should it happen again. Now have some more manuevers to try. Thanks again.
Thank you I appreciate it you are the best for explaining it directly what are vertigo mean blessing you so much
I get random vertigo now and then. Maybe 12 to 16 months apart. As soon as I feel symptoms I take 1 tablet of Meclizine, which helps in a short time. Then I immediately put on a Scopolamine patch which helps for 3 days or more. During that time I do Epleys with no nausea. Works for me. The only downside is dry mouth. But I would rather have that and sip water all day than be incapacitated with nausea.
I had vertigo for over a year and then one morning it was gone! Very strange.
Thank you! I suffer with BPPV.
Hope these exercises help!
Vertigo after COVID. Thanks so much!
Covid lunacy
Did this work for you ? I’m on the same boat
i suffer with bouts of vertigo and my eyes have a twitching sensation too. i will try these manouvers thanks
These same symptoms have been a nightmare for almost 10 years. At first I was not able to understand the reason for my vertigo but now i know while sleeping on my right side I get vertigo. Medicines are a temporary relief. I do exercise quite similar to this which is nauseating. I still avoid looking at my phone while lying on the bed and when I am in the car as that increases my symptoms.
That’s exactly what happened to me. Starting 10 years , so horrible 😢
Sudafed saved my life. Had debilitating vertigo and sudafed syopped it in 30 minutes
