Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, better known as BPPV, can literally stop you in your tracks. Make sure you are properly diagnosed because the symptoms can be something more serious and dangerous if not properly diagnosed.
The first exercises are called Brandt-Daroff exercises. Start in an upright, seated position. Then move into a lying position on one side with your nose pointed up at about a 45-degree angle. Stay in this position for about 30 seconds (or until the vertigo subsides, whichever is longer). Then move back to the seated position and stay for 30 seconds. Repeat on the other side. This should be done 5 times, 2 times a day holding each position for 30 seconds.
The next set of exercises are called Gaze Stabilization exercises. Keeping your head in one spot, move your eyes side to side as smoothly as you can 10 times. Then move them up and down 10 times. Next move them at a diagonal 10 times one way, and then 10 times the other way. You might get some symptoms while doing this, but if you can keep moving them, the symptoms should go away.
Finally, you are going to move your head, but keep your eyes focused on one spot. Hold out your finger in front of you, or put an X or A, or any letter on a piece of paper on the wall. While focusing on the one spot, move your head side to side as smoothly as you can 10 times. Then move it up and down 10 times. Next move it at a diagonal 10 times one way, and then 10 times the other way.

How long does vertigo take to clear? I've been like this since December 😔. I can barely walk on my own.
@@mehmoodzahid7320 sir apka vertigo cure hua?
I'm going to try the eye exercises. I tell people who never experienced vertigo that I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy.
I hope they help.
Yes!
@@AskDoctorJo
I did your eye movement's and it helped a bit il do it again i Afternoon why are you not my doctor
Glad it helped.
Yes😩
I am a truck driver and I woke up in Tuesday morning with vertigo. Having never heard of it in the past it scared me real bad! I laid there for four hours and it only seemed to get worse. Not being from the area I was at I was forced to call 911. They did all the tests to rule out all the other things then said I had BPPV.. Now the hospital never tried any excercises but pumped me with medicine for the dizziness and nausea and headache that is associated with it. I suffered from 7 AM all day until it finally subsided about 4 PM. They released me Wednesday and instructed me to follow up with my doctor. I was still having issues with dizziness but no where nearly as bad as Tuesday. Today is Friday and I was still having dizziness, I did a couple different excercises including yours and my dizziness went away. Knowledge rocks!! Thank you!
I am so glad they helped! I hope you have continued relief!

Almost my exact same story.
Vertigo meds did no good but a neck rub cured it.
Mark Skowronek i studying for medicine and i had studied about vertigo and i find this video useful
I've helped so many people and patients with this video. They all think I am a Saint.
Thank you so much for the exercise instruction!!! I had to try for a while before I think it worked.....for me I got up out of bed and grabbed two brooms to use as canes and started walking baby steps!!! Believe it or not, it started getting easier and easier as I went!!! At the start I couldn't move my head at all and only a few steps at a time. Very slowly I gained confidence and started walking faster with more slight head movements!!! Very slowly it got easier and easier!!! I went from being scared to stand for longer than 5 seconds to walking, fast walking, jogging and jogging while moving my head!!!!!! I put 11 kilometers on in one evening ( 4 hours steady). At the end I had walk/jogged 6 out of the 11 kilometers!!!! Now when I went into the house and settled down for a while...I got up and felt a bit dizzy again,...but not like before.!!!!
The next day I went walking again, doing what I did the day before and guess what???? No dizziness!!!!
The ABSOLUTE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS REST AND LAY DOWN!! WITH THAT BEING SAID....DON'T JUST GET UP AND RUN!!! MAKE YOURSELF SAFE TO MOVE AROUND AND EXERCISE TO YOUR ABILITIES!! HAVE SOMEONE HELP YOU WALK AROUND AND BE THERE FOR YOU.......BUT DON'T JUST LAY DOWN AND WORRY!!! THERE IS AN END TO THIS CONDITION!!! You will see once you start moving around and don't be discouraged if it doesn't happen right now!!! It will come....!!!! For me it took a week before I was driving around and eating normal again.....hope this helps at least one person....cheers all!!
You're welcome!
You are right. Lying down worsen the condition.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Very very helpful. Now I am going through this problem. I will follow the exercises and your word
Jojo has changed my life. I have chronic pain and I don't have to go to physical therapy appointments all the time thanks to her 🙂
I'm glad my videos have helped.
My vertigo nightmare begin tuesday evening it's currently Saturday morning. I went to a quick care that was a waste of time I'm currently taking otc dizzy meds not really working either. I'm going to do my best to push threw the 45 degree angle excersize. To all my vertigo sufferers I hope you feel better. Lord knows that this is a terrifying feeling
🌺🌺Aloha🌺🌺
I am now dizzy and probably this id from an ear infections
I know it is. Bad words fly out of my mouth when I turn my head and the place is spinning around. When i get up in the morning is when it also happens. I'm forced to sleep with 2 fans on by someone whose very dominant. It's not worth the augument to deal with him.
Can sleeping with a fan on cause the dizziness???
@@kathyoverstreet1639 maybe your dizziness came from the fan, don't put the fan on your head,if you put the direction of the fan in your head you'll get dizzy and Nauseous headache
I've had it for 5 weeks now, the doctors don't know what it is
I woke up very dizzy this morning and did these exercises, I once did them in my doc’s office but wasn’t as dizzy as I was this morning, I can’t believe it worked!! Thanks so much doctor.
You're welcome.
Thank you Dr Jo, I started the eye exercise 2 yrs back it is very helpful and since then I am doing these exercises almost every day so that the dizziness should not come again
I cried after the eye exercise. I feel good now❤ .. Thank you Jo
I got vertigo out of nowhere, I had it for 3 months now with bad anxiety . Can’t wait to try these exercises.
me too it was really scary
I’m also experiencing this and it’s a nightmare
got it randomly too and scared to search online and glad i found people with similar issues :) hope all the best to everyone
Same here it’s a nightmare I don’t know how I got vertigo from nowhere ,mine is two weeks now non stop, pls someone should help is tell us we the vertigos if this exercise works pls ...
Anyone here with existing neck and TMJ issues?? What is the source of your vertigo?? Please please reply 🙏🏽🥺
this actually worked! im literally crying right now.. God bless you and thanks alot. 😍
You're welcome.
Thank you Dr. Jo. My mother and I discovered through your excessive that it's her right ear that's causing vertigo. We followed your exercise, had a laugh and prayed she'll be made well. I thank the Lord Jesus for the gift of you and this video.
+Sergio Linares-Rincon You're welcome!
hey how is she now? And what were the symptoms like? Can you please tell me?
Like when she rotated her head towards right would she feel dizziness and nothing on left? And while sleeping too? While she slept right did she feel it and not on left? Please say!
Yes my right ear is causing me Vertigo also and yet my keft ear is tegarded as “the bad” ear for hearing - my aids need to be adjusted so the left one is louder. Strange but ok 👌.
@@violinistas3766 I am deaf on left ear so I know this is mainly the cause of my vertigo and I have stopped using my hearing aids. For my case, it’s positional vertigo nowadays. Happens when I lie down or wake up suddenly and it sucks. It’s sometimes when I sleep on my left, right or center of the back of my head. Haven’t had vertigo for a while or they just disappear suddenly. Forgot that I need to be careful when I lie down or wake up because it’s my main trigger.
Literally called my mom crying cuz I knew that I was just experiencing this. She used to have vertigo but started doing exercises as soon as she knew about them and now no longer has vertigo. The vertigo I experienced right now wasn’t that bad but I’m definitely gonna do these exercises. Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
The i(
This WORKS. I first learned about it from a professional physical therapist at my hospital several years ago. Try it. It's simple, easy, and rewarding.
How long does it take
Just got diagnosed with BPPV and I never knew how difficult it was.
Will be saving this video for when I have another episode.
Thank you for this!
You're welcome!
I experienced vertigo for the first time 2 days ago. I had a glass a wine before I went to bed woke up to the room was spinning like crazy and I wanted to vomit. I was like, i know I am not drunk impossible. The only thing made it better was laying down. I had a friend take me to the doctor. They prescribed these exercises along with methylprednisolone for fluid in both ears and meclizine for the dizziness. I feel a lot better today. I will continue to do this excercises. I don't ever want to experience this again. I learn something new everyday. Thanks
You're welcome. Good luck.
I will try these but am convinced it’s my ears . Can that be ?
How are u now??
@@starlite7785 I haven't experienced vertigo again since then. I am thankful and grateful
Is your vertigo cured after following doctors advice?
Wonderful ...!!! Im having this problem from 5 days , medicines doesn't worked ... After this exercise I'm feeling good like nothing happened ... Thank you so much mam... Knowledge rocks👍💐
You're welcome, and thanks!
Thank you doctor. It is very effective. My mother is feeling better just from one time exercise. She asked me to say thanks to you.
You're welcome.
I’ve been suffering from vertigo for about three weeks. I thought it was nothing till the last three days I’ve not been able to wake up and go to school because I’ve been so dizzy went to the doctor and they diagnosed me with vertigo. I haven’t took any medication still waiting on my prescription to go through. I tried popping my ears are some people said that would help it didn’t help all that much. I did the simple exercises, and it seems to be gone for the time being thank you so much❤
You're welcome.
Doctor Jo, you beautiful person. 39 years old and experiencing vertigo for the first time. After only four rounds of the 45-degree poses, I feel a vast improvement. Wow! Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
I did the first 5 and already feel a vast improvement
Thank you for this! I rarely suffer from this, but every now and then I wake up with extreme vertigo! It happens maybe a few times a year and today was the day it decided to happen! Always feel better after doing these moves.
You're welcome!
@@AskDoctorJo
Hi, how long you wait to do this exercise after the spinning happened?
@@yuliadewi5577when the spinning happens, my doctor advised me to just look at one spot even if your eyes is moving like crazy. It’s painful but will help make it subside quicker. You should do this exercises anytime of the day. I just stopped doing this and rarely get vertigo nowadays but it just decided to act up on me this week lol.
I can't believe it worked. After epley maneuver and half somersault failed for me, I thought of giving it a try. 14 days of agony finally comes to an end. May god bless you
Was it immediate relief, or you did it for a few days?
@@lj4969 i felt relieved immediately. Almost 95% of the dizziness was gone.
Oh I hope it works ! I’m too sick to even do it right now and frankly I’m scared to do it, moving is so miserable ☹️
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 It’s really hard and I understand your fear. I was officially diagnosed today although I suspected that this might be my condition. I just did it the lying down part and could only get through three times and on the right side it triggered me so severely that I still feel nauseous. My doctor did warn me it would probably make you feel worse initially. And he said it is safe to do it home. I wish you the best of luck!
I suffered from vertigo a few years ago I think it happened due to lack of sleep. But these exercises helped me a lot. They are very effective. Even my doctor recommended exercises rather than taking a drug .
Is it nonstop your vertigo or by episodes?
It’s commonly b12 deficiency
omg your comment resonates with me. I went a couple of days with only sleeping 3 to 4 hours and then ended up doing a day where I was awake for more that 24 hours. I ended up with a huge migraine. Well the migraine went away but I'v been having nonstop vertigo for about 5 days now. From the moment I wake up till I go to sleep. Going to do these exercises now and see if they help.
Medicine for vertigo
@ltahoe9257 Sounds like vestibular migraine. Lack of sleep can really bring on the vertigo with OR without headache. Not so much the spinning type, but the off balance, feeling like you're walking on marshmallows, wooziness, and lightheadedness. The list goes on and on.
Thank you for these exercises, Dr. Jo. I had vertigo for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I've experienced swaying/bobbing and weaving. I'm more than happy to work on this myself and try to clear this up first instead of using medications. It's so helpful to read everyone's comments to know I am not the only one and to hear their stories about what works for them. Thank you for your videos!!
You’re welcome!
It's been a week too for me.. I still didn't know why this happen.. I hope everyone here will get healing soon🥲
I just got it this morning! It's sucks!
@@AskDoctorJo I’m 17 and I haven’t super bad thank yoy for the help

I had vertigo today, I have had it before once sent to hospital after picking up my elderly neighbor. The doctor said that now that I have a pathway, I will always have a path to it and I have. Thank God I found your exercises. I am feeling better. Thank you so much - this is my 3rd episode. Marie T.

Charlotte van Elten i also suffer from vertigo but a much longer than you. It started last year than again while i was in the hospital than last month and the beginning of July. It's been two weeks of hell. I'm afraid to go out with friends because i feel like i'm going to fall and hurt myself
For the first time in my life I experienced Vertigo. Never had it before. I got up in the morning yesterday and had no clue what it is. And till today I was having vertigo. Then I came across your video and It's Magic. It made it go away so quick. It helped me alot. Thankyou so much for this video. ❤️

I had sudden vertigo for first time this morning. After whole day dealing with nausea that comes after it, i did these exercise and it helps me feel much better. Definitely will do this if i ever experience vertigo again. Thank you
You're welcome.
Thank you so much for this video, doctor. These exercises really worked wonders for me. I got rid of vertigo after doing these exercises for 2 days. Really appreciate you putting up this video. Cheers!
You're welcome!
I was diagnosed with Labyrinthitis. The spinning lasted about a week. Think I lost 10 pounds that week hehe.. I just had to barely move my head. Unfortunately it never went fully away. It's been 16 months now. It's tolerable most days, but sometimes it comes back a bit stronger. All of you dealing with this.. My prayers are with you. Thanks for this, I'm willing to try anything at this point.
Did u try cracking ur ears to open the tubes
Thank you for posting this! I just experienced the symptoms last night when I turned over in my sleep and then again this morning. The room swung so wildly and my eyes jiggled back-and-forth too, it was bizarre! I’m going to try these exercises and hopefully it will help. Still feeling seasick an hour later.
You're welcome! I hope they help too.
These exercises work. I have this video saved so whenever I need it I can watch it again. Just one tip, whatever you do, don’t close your eyes when the room is spinning, it will make you sick. Also, I found if my vertigo is really bad, I take my medicine first to calm it down and then do the exercises.
I was diagnosed with vertigo last year,,it scared me something awful,,I went to the emergency and cried my eyes out,,they did a cat scan and mri,,,thank God,,no strokes,,it's very scary,,the room was spinning like crazy,,they gave me these pills,,,I'm ok now,,thank you,Jesus
What medicine do you use for this? I keep Bonine on hand for such flare ups.
@@gjwhite what is Bonnie?
What medication do you take?
Wow thank you, I got dizzy and nauseous this morning and found your video this afternoon, I did them and I’m 90% better. I got majority of my balance back. Thank you!!!!

I have been to the er several times after getting up from bed and proceeding to Fall into my bedroom wall lol I was diagnosed with positional vertigo and after several er visits one dr finally told me about these exercises I could do at home. I woke up with it this morning and watched your video and its really helped thank u for posting this!
You're welcome. I'm glad it helped!
I did this for the first time and feel a little better, hopefully it gets better and better as I keep doing it
I’ve been experiencing anxiety this passed month and it triggered vertigo for me. This week it got worse, especially after a long car ride or waking up. Just did all these exercises with the recommended sets and I can definitely feel a difference ! I’m going to stay consistent since I will be seeing a ENT doctor this week too just to be safe.
Thank you
You're welcome.
Can you tell me if it helped resolve your vertigo please?
@@pavelzareiciuc6403 yes it’s been a month and the exercises helped. My ENT doctor checked me out and it seems like a minor in ear infection so he prescribed me meclizine. Vertigo was gone within days after that. I still experience very minor almost not noticeable episodes but I am able to control my anxiety so it’s not as bad.
how are you now?
@@fatimahameed1062 vertigo is gone. I now live with tinnitus and chronic rhinitis. Anxiety is a lot more controlled now than earlier this year.
I have suffered from vertigo and these are the best exercises I’ve seen for BPPV . This has been very limiting in my life and it comes and goes . Been tested for all in hospital and eent and it’s BPPV . Like the doc says get your symptoms evaluated to make sure you don’t have anything other than BPPV. And if it is BPPV it’s not a one in done . It comes back so you need to know the exercises when the symptoms return
Thank you very much, I started vertigo in three years ago it’s so bad I will do that exercise for sure 😊❤
You’re welcome.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING THESE AVAILABLE DOC!!!!!! LOVE & PEACE
***** You're welcome! Good luck!
Thanks Dr Jo. I got vertigo for the first time in my 42yrs of life. Such a horrible feeling. My GP recommended these exercises, but I wasn't too sure on how once I got back home. Very helpful instructions!!
You're welcome! I hope they help.
I had severe vertigo for almost a month straight and the foster maneuver was the only exercise that would stop it for a few minutes. If I ever get an attack again I'll try one of these!
I am going to give these exercises to my friend's dad. He is 80 and will be 81 soon and he has issues with vertigo and so does his daughter.
I went on a seven day cruise and once getting off the boat I couldn’t shake the vertigo. It’s been six days now and I got medication which helped but didn’t solve the problem. These exercises seem to really be helping! Thanks so much for the information!
You're welcome. Good luck!
Dr. Jo your exercise is helping me to get through a difficult time with vertigo symptoms. I would like to thank you so much...You are a big help.
You're welcome.
Wow it was really hard to get through but once I did the dizziness stopped! Funny my eyes are sore from the eye exercise but in a good way. Thanks for sharing!
Brigette Dusack You're welcome! Glad they helped!
Did it make you sick?
I can’t get past 3-5 seconds without wanting to vomit?!!!
Thank you for your video! I felt hopeless and helpless. I missed a month of work. I thought my life and career was over. I'm so greatful to you for your video! I believe it saved my life. Thank you again and may God bless you!
You're welcome! I'm glad they helped.
God bless you Dr Jo. I feel so much better.
Thanks. Glad you are feeling better.
Dr, When I move my eyes and head quickly I feel very dizziness. I am having this dizziness problem since I was 16 now I am 34 years old. It’s very difficult. I hope this video help me 🙏🏻Thank you 😊
After a few nights of bad sleep I had some positional vertigo getting into bed last night. Pretty crazy feeling. A friend who has dealt with BPPV sent me this video and I’m eager to implement it. Thank you for your encouraging demeanor.
You're welcome. I hope they help.
Which exercise did ur friend who has BPPV do?
She found relief in the eye/nodding exercises. The laying down movement really helped me out.
I just found this today. After doing the routine once, I feel better. Will continue doing these thank you so much! ❤
You're welcome!
@@AskDoctorJo do you do these when the room is spinning in middle of night?? Or do you do these when you don't have vertigo? When you do the exercise is it suppose to produce vertigo , if so what does that mean. Guess just want to know when to do exercise and what should the result be. I just lie back down and close my eyes cause if i keep my eyes open the room spinning. Thank you sorry for rambling
Thanks Jo. I was searching youtube for vertigo treatment and saw this video. i followed these exercises few days and my vertigo gone now. :)
You're welcome. I'm glad they helped!
@@AskDoctorJo i did epley today 2x. one on both sides as it seems to be left and right. i felt pretty bad after, nauseated and it seems like my symptoms act up more, even when i was brushing my teeth, which it didnt do yesterday. is this normal after epley? do you feel crummy most the rest of the day usually?
I have been suffering for a few weeks. Meds just make me sleepy, I did this one time and I am already feeling much better. Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Thank u Doctor, the video help me a lot, from Cuernavaca México, God Bless You!!!

Did U use a pillow while doing this exercise? Please help
My dizziness just started this morning and I'm freaking out thinking I'm going to die. Thanks for showing me this
glad I’m not the only one
Exactly, I'm glad this is a common thing
I don’t wanna speak too soon, but I see progress after doing this exercise. Wish I tried it sooner, but I was just too scared. I saw a similar trick in another video, but I’ll stick to this one because it’s much simpler and I noticed a difference after doing it. I’ll post any progress during day two, thanks so far Doc
You're welcome. I hope it continues to help.
this really helps doc I have a bad time sleeping from the dizziness and now I can sleep =)

Thankyou Dr Jo. I have had 3 bouts of severe vertigo the second I went to hospital with hours of room spinning crazily and vomiting violently multiple times. It was like a torture and so debilitating. I used your exercises yesterday and it was a big help. I no longer feel so powerless.

It's not immediate relief but I am hopeful.
You seem like a lovely person, thank you.
Thanks, and you're welcome.
Thanks, Doc! Ive been experiencing vertigo for a couple of weeks now and it has been a nightmare. I had to give up on working out for a while. I am now trying out b12 vitamins and using your exercises. I think I'm starting to feel a little better 😊
You’re welcome. I’m glad it’s helping some.
Does vit b12 help in vertigo patients?
@@pujakaushik9667 yes it does. I take Vitamin B12 everyday in my multivitamin
Also take vitamin d3+k2 (the k2 will help move the ear crystals to ur bones if u have loose crystals in ear canal). Vitamin D3 deficiency is one of the causes for dizziness and vertigo
Yes the exercises are helpful. Thank you Ma'am
Thank you. I was scared but your video helped me get thru this and I'm feeling much better.
You're welcome.
These exercises look like the ones I first did when I first got diagnosed with BPPV,it’s come back to me now watching how she did them in this video.My doctor said you get BPPV from either after a cold or rushing around too much which I can do at times.
I’m so at ease coming across this video after trying so many other exercises that confused me.

This video helped out alot! I also discovered that deep breathing helps relieve vertigo when you go through these exercises. Breath 75% capacity and breath out when you feel dizzy. It worked for me!
Cries ive been to the doctor for weeks for a sore throat. They cant find anything. The dizziness is new so now im just sobbing and praying it goes awat
I wish for your recovery 😔🥺
@@jln7196 im slowly gettjng there 😔 i hope i get there soon
@@mishussy I'm sure you'll recover
I know how it feels to have a Vertigo. 😭 It really sucks because you can't do the chores or tasks that you need to do and it's hard to concentrate. It can make you feel sad and depress sometimes and you get discourage. But let's fight this! We must fight this feeling of being sad and depressed because it can also trigger the Vertigo. We will be healed guys. It just takes time. We can fully recover from this. I do this exercise but sometimes i forgot. I stopped taking meds for dizziness because i am also scared of relying always on meds because of side effects.
Ive been experiencing dizziness, throbbing at the back of my head and off balance for 6 weeks now, i went to the hospital yesterday and was told i had bppv, its awful it is really taking its toll on me, the doctor done some sort of manoeuvre on me and i had a small bit of relief for a few minutes. I have been put on motion sickness medication and told to take things slow
I feel like im never gonna get better
Im so upset its effecting my daily life so much. I just want this feeling to go away
If there is any way you can go see a physical therapist who specializes in vestibular rehab, they can evaluate you, and help make a program that will work best for you since treatment can be different depending on which canal is affected.
@@AskDoctorJo I could try, it's just very overwhelming and upsetting because I feel nauseous and my GP said it can take time to heal it can take months
I fainted because of it too
Thank you so so much. I've had a terrible dizzy head for days now. Found your video and it's instantly helped my symptoms. Still got ringing in my ears but this has helped a lot
You're welcome. I'm glad it helped.
Vertigo is horrible, anyone feel nauseous ever??
Thankyou for the video. I had been suffering from BPPV for 23 years . I was on medication for these years. But after performing this i feel relieved now . Thanks.
You're welcome.
Wanda Jyrwa how was your feeling? I have also same problem for 3 months , do you have also stomach problem?
No
Thank you so much Dr.Jo. it give me relief just now. Im in the verge of panic and did the exercise and feel ok after. God bless you!
+NMM You're welcome! I'm glad it helped.
Same here. Its likey ball playing with my dog for the eyes.
Suffered spinning of head at night and after waking up..it just happened once but it was scary.. I came across your video while searching what was wrong with me..didn’t even know what vertigo was...thanks a ton doctor..I started doing the exercises shown in the video and it didn’t happen again..may god bless you..
It’s been a week since..if I continue the exercises is it ok?
Much love to u..thanks a ton!!
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped.
Thank you for this exercise. I have always felt better each time I do this exercise whenever my vertigo comes. It makes my world become crisp after the swirling and fussing. THANK YOU!!
You're welcome.
I had vertigo about a year ago and this morning I just woke up and I got dizzy turning my head or flipping over in bed. So basically i got it back. I hope these exercises work.
Hi Lexi, so what happened? Did this exercise fix it for you? if not how long your vertigo last? I am assuming it is gone by now.. :-)
Love the simplicity of this video and the concise treatment ideas!
Thanks!
Should we do this do this exercise during vertigo or after vertigo?
Did my usual exercises for vertigo, then did yours twice yesterday, and this morning I am all good again. Thank you very very much.
You're welcome. I'm glad it helped.
Hafsa Khizer These work as both preventative and a treatment. I hope they help! Good luck!
Sorry Jo, we have no proof that Brandt Daroff is a preventative measure. As the cause of BPPV is still largely unknown one cannot do excercises to keep it away.
It works for me im pregnant and suddenly this morning feel so dizzy when im lay down and move my head. Thanks doc
These lying exercises make me scared because god I feel like I'm flying
They can be scary. The best thing to do is go see a physical therapist so they can help you with them. Good luck.
Yes I feel exactly the same .... I freaked out at the specialists and she couldn't continue
Aleyna Çiftçi aa bir turk gordum suan iyi misin ? geçti mi baş dönmen
Zaman zaman geçiyor, çok stresli olduğum zaman, spor yaptığım zaman, başımı zorladığım zaman aniden geri geldiği çok oldu. Tamamen düzelmiyor. :/

Wow wow wow. Read through so many comments and had almost the exact same issue when my vertigo started, ER trip, couldn't keep balanced, vomiting from motion, pumped with IV and nausea meds but after ER, a little better. Nausea went away but 3 days now still dizzy. Can't take it. I'm trying your techniques and hope they work. Ty
You're welcome. I hope they help too.
I do a lot of this stuff with my clients. Do you have any assessments you use to determine if you should focus on one side vs the other?
Dix hallpike is what your looking for, treat which side is affected
I suffer with anxiety and panic attacks could vertigo have anything to do with it my eyes sometimes flicker and sometimes I get dizzy and lightheaded when standing from sitting
My brother also have the same issue😭
Is there something you could do about it? Same over here
Same here
How are you now?
This works like a charm for me. I start my day with it now. Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
Thanks for this info, I'm going to get started right away. I hate this dizzy and nauseous feeling.
You're welcome. I hope it helps!
Just tried these and can see a difference... Really helped still a little dizzy but I'm hoping after another day or 2 of doing them it will be so much better thank you for the advice
You're welcome.
I just tried this this very moment. I hope the dizziness goes away. This is the 2nd day I wasn't able to work bc of vertigo, and my deadline's coming. 😢
Thank you so much. I've been dealing with this for a few years now and always gone back to my ENT hearing him say 'if this continues I'll teach you the exercises!' Why not there and then teach me! Thank you for this video. I will try the exercises and keep looking on youtube for others like I remember him making me move for the Ethlene? Manoever... I really hope this works. :)
+Cary Lee You're welcome! I hope it helps too. I think you mean Epley Maneuver. Here it is: www.askdoctorjo.com/content/vertigo-epley-maneuver Good luck!
+AskDoctorJo yes the Eply Maneuver. I found something on Vit B12 helping too...have you found this at all in your practice?
+Cary Lee There is a lot of research now that shows a relation between Vit B12 deficiency and balance issues, so it is definitely possible.
Thanks for these clear exercises.
I have benign positional vertigo and it sucks.
Mine isn't really a spinning. It more of a slow powerful torque.
Puts me on the deck in seconds if I don't feel it coming.
If you don't already, keep some candied ginger handy.
Get it at your health food store. It's an acquired taste, but it really helps.
Also get rid of as much sodium and caffeine as you can.
Mine is getting the upper hand again.
Need to do some of your exercises.
You're welcome.
Your exercises helped me! I've had vertigo episodes off on on for many years. A couple nights ago my left ear was a little sore so I used 3 percent hydrogen peroxide to clean my ear. As a result the next morning I woke up with vertigo. I don't plan on doing that ever again. Thank you so much for making this video!
You're welcome! I'm glad they helped.
thank you thank you thank you, Dr. Jo. had it for 3 days til i watched and did the treatment, and its gone. did it once again for good measure, and it has not returned since the first treatment.
Zbigniew Dworak I am glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing!
The exercises are working. I woke up today, stood right up and absolutely no vertigo. I will keep up the exercises. But thank you for you demonstration and your caring.
You're welcome. Glad they are helping.
