    Great video thank you! It is great to have a video explaining the differences.
    I really believe that one of the main reasons I ‘got stuck’ is I spent such so long worrying myself sick what it actually was, all the medical checks I had slowly ruled things out but then all I was left with was the drs saying it was probably labrynthitis and now anxiety. All during a pandemic too!
    I know I had questions for so long and struggled with not having any clear reason why vertigo happened out of nowhere.
    I think that’s why you’ve helped me SO much because you’ve explained so much that has made things a lot clearer for me.

    Hello, my name is Pablo. I was diagnosed with MV 22 years ago. I took a lot of medications and nothing. Only clonazepan helped me to be able to sleep and continue with my life. I left clonazepan because it was indistinct. I felt the same taking or not taking it a year ago. I had a problem that drew me back again with this disease. Now last month I visited a neurologist who specializing in lumbar problems and I listened to him how they came to the conclusion of bestibular migraine. I told him about everything that happened. He listened to me. He examined me. He asked me for a brain and cerebellum tomography but he tells me that for him it’s not a vestibular migraine for him. The problem I have is anxiety and he prescribed me divalprox and 4 days ago I’m taking it. He told me that they take effect after 2 weeks. I’m more confused than

    Hello Dr Yo,
    this is my story, I was diagnosed with bppv, in my left ear when I bent my head it triggered a rotational vertigo, after the maneuver nothing! but I still have some dizziness.. for 1 year.
    days I have nothing and sometimes they come back but it's light!
    thank you for all.
    I did scanner IRM and blood test and neurological tests but nothing special.
    but I was always scared and I was very anxious, but since I came across your youtube channel it was a miracle!
    I am no longer afraid of my symptoms and it has greatly helped me to reduce my symptoms!

    Bonnie Clark here, I'm in your group.
    This was very informative! I think I've had bppv in the past because it started with me turning my head from left to right while lying on my stomach. That was about 3 years ago. Now I'm an anxious mess, perimenopausal and having a stressful time in my life. I have a low level light headedness and a feeling of really heavy legs several times a day, lasting as long as I'm moving. It gets better when I sit still, naps help too. Driving is ok for the most part. Should I be doing vrt exercises? I've been seen by ent a few years ago and several other drs too and was told it was anxiety. I'm a little unsure as where to go next for help. Back to ent, more testing? Thank you so much for putting this information out there. 💙

      Hi Bonnie!! This sure sounds like neural circuit dizziness, but if you haven't had a thorough workup in a while, it might be a good idea to visit a vestibular therapist to have a BPPV check. I'll be very surprised if you have it, but it doesn't hurt to be checked. I think everything else going on is the likely culprit.

    @kristian.tigersoul 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video as always!! You are mentioning several key things here that some dr's just aren't telling patients, or downright aren't educated about. It's such a classic example to have a BPPV attack that morphs into a neural circuit dizziness state that can go on for a long long time. Especially if there is stress already present. This is me in a nutshell. There are groups on Facebook with dozens and dozens of people that are saying they had BPPV for half a year, two years or even more. They are all likely having NCD, and they don't even know about it. I just hope your work reaches out there to those that need the help and information.
    One minor but perhaps interesting remark: It certainly is very easy to end up in avoidance behaviors after a BPPV attack. I sure am. I do the D vitamin thing and I still sleep on my left side only (right ear assumed to be the affected). I have not yet became a reposition exercise junkie, but there is actually some science saying that a weekly (at home) reposition maneuver of the affected ear and channel can drastically reduce the risk of having a new episode. If you're interested, I'll dig out the study. Whatever this is healthy behavior however is another question. This is however one of the very few things I found in the studies to avoid recurring BPPV episodes. This, and D-vitamin is showing some potential. But that's about it.

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Kristian! Yes, those are good points! I actually think it's a great idea for people with recurrent BPPV to do prophylactic repositioning maneuvers once a week or so. I think that is perfectly healthy. I just question whether all people who have been diagnosed with recurrent BPPV actually have it! And yes, vitamin D plays a role- it's a really good ideas to get those levels up.

I'm going to do my best to push your stuff into my swedish groups for the "I had BPPV for years" kind of people. Unfortunately, they are very hesitant to buying into this. Reason being, the most common term in Swedish for chronic dizziness is (translated) "PHOBIC dizziness". People think it's a mental disease and the "I don't have mental problems" defense activates immediately.

    I want you to know how much I appreciate your videos! They’ve gotten me out of some of the darkest times. My chronic dizziness symptoms started after what I think was BPPV. I think that because of the panic attack I experienced, it led to lingering dizziness in the form of PPPD. Except, my doctor seems to think that it’s all BPPV related & that the chronic dizziness i’ve felt for over a year now is still just an after-effect of the BPPV episode. My question is, is it possible for BPPV to cause such long-lasting & persistent symptoms? Or is the lingering dizziness separate from the BPPV episode(s) entirely?

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Samantha, thank you so much 😊. BPPV can absolutely be the trigger but what starts the chronic symptoms is not what keeps them going. At some point, the crystals are fine and it’s the nervous system that’s causing the symptoms.

      Hi Joycelyn, I'm sorry you're experiencing this. I probably won't have any specific videos on nystagmus because nystagmus can have so very many causes, most of them not vestibular and therefore out of my area of expertise. Nystagmus can be a side effect of vestibular disorders, which I discuss here, but it's not the cause of the dizziness, just an observable effect.

    @ The Steady Coach So I’ve been having a really hard time the last 16 months: a lot if feeling off and then August 2022 got slammed with BPPV and was bed/couch ridden. Finally got in to see a great VT and I had complex BPPV (both ears and two places on each ear!) it took six weeks of some nightmarish experiences to get it cleared out but then of course there’s the PPPD which I think Ive had fir a loooong time following probably vestibular neuritis. My question for you, Dr Yo is can I make myself worse if I do the typical maneuver (which my VT eventually taught me how to do) if I have crystals in a different canal (ex anterior vs posterior). I may have done today.

    • @TheSteadyCoach

    Hi again! Loving your videos. I suffer from chronic anxiety, and during the last two years became very anxious and stressed about covid. Sept last year I started to feel very unwell but the doctors could find nothing physically wrong with me. Nothing at all. Chest xrays (I kept saying I felt short of breath) fine, bloods all good, nothing wrong. I started to have episodes of feeling woozy, and then like I was being pulled to one side, unsteadiness. Can extreme anxiety after long periods of time do this? I kept blaming anxiety. Then one day in Dec I had a dizzy spell and I had a huge panic attack about it and I've been terrified and dizzy ever since. ENT consultants have found nothing physically wrong with me, suggest pppd. Can stress bring on the vestibular problems I was having? Again, my gp found no physical cause for me feeling unwell and they kind of thought it was an anxiety response to covid.

    Hi, great video! I have a question. Five months ago I got diagnosed with bppv. During those four months I have been doing reposition maneuvers with my physio multiple times, twice a week. It started with being in both my left horizontal canal and right posterior canal. I have been treated countless times where the crystals seem to move from one place to another. Some days it showed bppv in one place, next time a different place, a week later two different places etc. It was exhausting. I did feel a tiny bit better the day of doing the maneuvers but there wasn’t any improvement overall. I’ve only had the typical spinning sensation once, at the beginning of all this. Just feeling of rocking, swaying, dragging/halfway spinning.A month later I got diagnosed with a damage to my vestibular nerve and pppd. Since then the physio have found bppv three times. I am currently doing rehabilitation for this. But I am so confused and wondering if its truly bppv, I’m also scared the rehabilitation won’t get me better if I keep getting bppv. Is there anything I can do to prevent getting bppv again? What should I do?

The latest one (this time right ear) was really severe as well. I did the epley which stopped the spinning. Is it possible that the subsequent episodes become less severe over time?

      I’m so sorry, I know that spinning vertigo is an incredibly frightening sensation. So interestingly, when I worked at a more conventional clinic, I would see people with BPPV all the time and most of them were not hugely bothered by it. No one loved it, of course, and they wanted it to go away, but they did not have big fight or flight responses to it and they coped with the symptoms more easily. So- the sensations of BPPV are never pleasant, but as you learn to be even slightly less terrified of them, your brain will not turn up the volume dial so high if you have them. The brain volume dial is a part of what makes them so intense for people who have PPPD.

    I have a very tight neck with SCM muscles that seem to be very fatigued. Some of my dizziness symptoms seem to come from neck movements and sometimes from the spine. I'm hearing more and more about cervicogenic dizziness. Does anyone else have experience with this? I think my case was triggered by poor posture, long periods of time standing at a computer and also severe stress.

    Dr Yo, can I have both bppv and pppd? I usually also notice that pppd gets worse after vertigo flare. Do you think pppd worsens because of the fear or vertigo and because I look for the symptoms? I’ve been on this for 16 years and it settles down, hasn’t completely gone away, but sometimes it comes back more intense after a vertigo flare. Please help Dr. Also is pppd and circuit dizziness the same??

      PPPD and neural circuit dizziness are 100% the same thing. BPPV often precedes PPPD and is more common in people with PPPD. Yes, it increases brain hypervigilance and focus on symptoms.

    Hello, I'd like to ask if it's normal that: the morning after I wake up to walk the dog and lie down again, I start to feel dizzy on both sides. Within one minute it stops and then it doesn't happen again. It could be a one-time BPPV like this. It doesn't happen again during the day. Thank you for your reply

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  ปีที่แล้ว

      This sounds like it could be BPPV- only way to know for sure would be to get checked by a vestibular PT! But I would expect BPPV to happen ANY time you are in the position. If it ONLY happens at a certain time but not other times you are in the same position, that sounds more like neural circuit dizziness.

    Hey Dr Yonit! Sagi here als usual. I have to tell you that I feel so sad. The last few week my Pppd got lot better with breathing techniques and VRT and I started to go out again. Last night I had bppv out of sudden and it crashed me whole. Is it possible to have pppd and bppv at same time?? How did that happen, everything was getting better. I did the epley manuever and It stopped Shorlty after. It made me rethink everThing and question everything. I just feel totally exhausted and lost. My anxiety got high up. :(

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Sagi, I'm sorry to hear that frightened you. BPPV can happen to anyone, but it's more likely to happen to someone whose brain is in "threat mode" because the ear's fluid system balance can be altered by stress. This does NOT mean a permanent setback or anything to worry about. Try to stay calm. PPPD can happen after BPPV, but 99.99% of the time, it does not, and you are already ahead of the game by understanding how stress is affecting you.

      I just experienced the same thing Sagi. I have pppd and have felt so much better these past days. A vertigo attack hit me out of nowhere as I was switching positions on bed, crazy spinning and I freaked out. Just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone.

    If you got a concussion, had BPPV and dealt with it for 2 months because you didn't know it was treatable, found help and got it cured with the epley maneuver and haven't dealt with BPPV again, but still deal with random dizziness sensations inside the head without eye movements or anything, could this be permanent or is it treatable? I could be having a great stretch of days and bam ill get a random dizziness inside my head for a few seconds that throws me into a complete panic attack for the rest of the day. I've been to vestibular therapists several times who said there is nothing wrong with me anymore and this is just trauma and anxiety. But I still feel really off :(

      Hi Ariel, so sorry to hear what you're going through. This is completely treatable and I have seen MANY people get better from it. You are not alone. If you watch the Chronic Dizziness Stories series, you will hear from many others with similar stories who are getting better.

    hey dr Yo. i have a question about bppv! always when I lie down and close my eyes I feel like my bed is flying like Aladdin's carpet, or like my bed is spinning, but when I open my eyes I'm just swaying not spinning actually. This spinning sensation happens only when i lay down eyes closed can this be a new symptom of ncd or bvvp??? also have head pressure

  • @coexist8677

    It may go away after 30 seconds but when you walk with it or whatever it's horrible really horrible. Or is that not bppv?
    I do have the vertigo spinning and also have the problem walking when I have it.
    Even sitting i would feel so off balance.
    Do you think it's a combination?
    I have off balance feelings all the time bit I think it's related to the fear.
    I dread bppv so much, it really traumatized me when I got it the first time and ever since had it several times and i fear it every night I go to bed and never lie down during the day
    The exercise does help but I get such bad panic attacks ... I was even afraid listening to this video because it triggers me so bad to hear and think about bppv.
    Is there anything I can do for the anxiety?
    Thank you for all your work 🪷🪷🪷🪷

    • @TheSteadyCoach

      It can affect walking but generally people are most affected by sudden movements and head turns. It sounds like a combination- just like you're saying, related to the fear. If you've a;ready seen the video on fear, stay tuned, I have a new one coming out about worries.

    Can an intense emotional/nervous system issue cause BPPV?

      There is a relationship between stress and BPPV. Stress adversely affects the ability of the inner ear to work effectively.
