What Is BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)?

BPPV is a vestibular disorder where displaced calcium crystals in the inner ear disrupt signals to the brain, leading to dizziness or vertigo. It often occurs with aging, head trauma, or inner ear conditions and can interfere with daily stability, mobility, and quality of life.

Common Symptoms of BPPV

  • Sudden spinning sensation (vertigo)

  • Dizziness when turning the head or lying down

  • Imbalance or unsteadiness

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Headaches or pressure sensations

Root Causes and Contributing Factors

  • Inner ear degeneration due to aging

  • Head trauma or whiplash injuries
