I think it's great that you talk about horizontal canal BPPV! It's a very common condition that all too often gets neglected. However one thing that gets missed in this video is the case of horizontal canal cupulolithiasis (quite common thing). For example, in case of left ear cupulolithiasis you'll feel worse symtoms in roll testing to the right side (i.e. reverse to HC non-ampullary arm canalolithasis that is indirectly mentioned in this video) which can be really confusing. Also being dizzy on both sides in roll testing is common, just that it's worse on one side. Failure to recognise this presents with a risk of treating the wrong ear. Also multi canal BPPV is a thing. So nothing wrong to check all canals in both ears. One thing more; roll testing can sometimes turn out "positive" for PC BPPV and Dix Hallpike "positive" for HC BPPV. That's why it's so important to assess nystagmus to diagnose the correct BPPV subtype , and hence another reason why I think people in most cases should be careful in attempting self diagnosing
hey megan..first off happy new year...wow fantastic information and demonstration with zero fear..well done you...totally agree with you if i knew then what i know now....oh well better late than never :)...so weird you mentioned you had an attack from our old friend last saturday..i also had an episode about 2 weeks ago..first one in almost a year...and you know my story..20 months now since my first attack...zero info...doctors had no clue(not their fault its a kinda newish diagnosis and doesn't come up on imaging machines and its hard to get people who have never experienced it to understand...i was terrified to do the epley at the start and spent 2 months after the first extreme episode sitting upright with 7 pillows on the sofa terrified to move my head to the left or right...if only i had been brave enough to do the epley the exact same morning it first happened?..then omg..i wouldn't have been thrown in to the world of slight mal de debarquement, slight menieres, and pppd....for almost 20 months cause i left it sooo long as i was terrified...now back to the episode 2 weeks ago..exact same as you...about 4am..woke up..felt the roller coaster sensation coming on..said nope...not happening...sat up...made my bed...got a drink of water..relaxed..put on my favourite song(on low its 4am lol)..pillow under my shoulders...i know its the left ear...did the epley..slight sensation came on immediately...kept tellin myself i know exactly whats next..sat up..waited about 20 mins...did it again..almost nothing....told myself...its healed just a slight bump in the road..and went back to sleep...woke about 3 hours later was slightly worried it was back..but nope...sat up..and went about my day....i still get slight "whoosh" moments...for example pushing a trolley in a supermarket feels off a bit still cant explain that one..but i tell myself my brain is just ever so slightly out of sync and is in the process of healing completely...thanks for making this video megan as you say if someone can read this and be brave they canr save themselves going thru a mini hell...kindest regards..kieran
Hey Megan , you inspire me to be as brave as you . Even I want to reach that stage where I face vertigo without any fear as you , cause then I know it will have no power over me . I wanted to ask you, did you get more bppv episodes after pppd ? Because same for me, I’ve had two recooring episodes just 2 months apart .(earlier used to hardly get one on 3 years) Been starting to wonder if the large amounts of vestibular excercises ( neck and head movements ) have accounted to dislodging my crystals again ? Any thoughts ?
Hi Megan it's Paul from Sheffield, thank you again for your videos I'm thinking I have the vestibular migraine after the manoeuvres. I'm gonna keep at it though, once again thank you 🥴🤕
Hey Megan. Thank you for the videos and information. I seen your success story on the steady coach and it was inspiring. Do you put more information on instagram?
Incredible video to have all this in one place. Your attitude to your bppv episodes is absolutely admirable. Thank you so much
Aw thank you so much!
Happy to help ☺️

Thank you for this! 😊 great advice.
Yes this video is mainly meant for people who already know they have BPPV, they just need the fix!

Hi Kieran! I’m so glad to hear you managed to treat it yourself!! You’ve come a long way that’s for sure 😊

You’re so sweet. You will get there! 😊
And yes I’ve had BPPV attacks since recovering from PPPD, but they don’t last long!
Hi Megan it's Paul from Sheffield, thank you again for your videos I'm thinking I have the vestibular migraine after the manoeuvres. I'm gonna keep at it though, once again thank you 🥴🤕
You’re very welcome! I wouldn’t do the manoeuvers more than twice a day.
If you have positional vertigo, then you can try it then😊
Have had it for 17 years
I assume you’ve done the repositioning manoeuvres?
Hey Megan. Thank you for the videos and information. I seen your success story on the steady coach and it was inspiring. Do you put more information on instagram?
Hi Katie, yes I have a lot of information on Instagram 😊 instagram.com/conscioushealing101?igsh=MWY3bXVneDNseDVsNw%3D%3D&
