What is the benign paroxysmal position vertigo?

Benign paroxysmal position vertigo (BPPV) causes a sense of dizziness due to slight dysfunction in one or both ears. Small particles in the ears can relax from their position and their movement creates the feeling that the body is moving when it is not. This may result in dizziness in magic, which is particularly recorded when the position of the body changes, as with overwhelming, turning the head or getting up and taking about a minute with each spell. Often there is no reason for this condition, although head injuries can cause it, and this is most common in people over 55 years. Treatment may be depending on the severity of the condition and many people recover without much intervention, although surgery is sometimes recommended if symptoms last for more than a year or are very serious.

Any type of head injury that causes dizziness or dizziness associated with a high fever or suspected stroke may not be benign paroxysmal dizziness. Sometimes conditions as a brain tumor can also cause inRTIGO. If people have dizziness or a feeling of spinning, they must see a doctor to eliminate other potential problems. Two problems, especially for the elderly who have this condition, are that magic dizziness can increase their chance of falling and can cause vomiting. Vomiting can easily lead to dehydration if this happens frequently.

When people see their doctors suspect the case of benign paroxysmal position vertigo, doctors usually perform different checks to ensure that BPPV is the correct diagnosis. In the absence of evidence of other causes of Vertigo, this diagnosis is often correct because this condition is so common.

If the bare paroxysmal position vertigo is very tiny, the doctors could opt for a small onegout treatment. In general, the condition is sufficiently annoying that certain interventions are needed. The most common intervention is a number of exercises with a slow head position that patients can learn to do at home. It is assumed that particles in ears are assumed to achieve a more stable position and perform these exercises once a day can reduce dizziness episodes.

Some people do not help exercise and continue to suffer from dizziness for a long time. If BPPV continues, doctors could recommend surgery to stabilize the structures in the ear so that small particles cannot move freely. Surgery is usually the treatment of the latest option, but has a high degree of success.
