That spinning sensation when you roll over in bed is often BPPV, a common and very treatable cause of vertigo. A simple repositioning technique can settle it, sometimes in one or two sessions.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV, happens when tiny crystals in the inner ear move out of place and confuse your balance system. The result is short, intense spinning triggered by head movements like rolling over or looking up.
It is common and, despite how alarming it feels, very treatable. A guided repositioning manoeuvre moves the crystals back where they belong, and gentle balance retraining helps if any unsteadiness lingers.
I assess your dizziness carefully, and where it is BPPV I use a guided repositioning technique, then add balance retraining if any unsteadiness remains.
Positional testing to confirm whether it is BPPV and which ear.
A guided manoeuvre to move the inner-ear crystals back into place.
Gentle exercises if any unsteadiness lingers afterwards.
Clear guidance on what to expect and how to manage episodes.
Treatment moves through clear stages. I set the pace to suit you, but the path usually looks like this.
I use positional tests to confirm the cause of your vertigo.
A guided manoeuvre to settle the BPPV.
Balance exercises if any unsteadiness remains.
A check that symptoms have settled, and advice to prevent flare-ups.
Seek urgent medical care if dizziness comes with a sudden severe headache, double vision, slurred speech, weakness or numbness, difficulty walking, or hearing loss, as these point to causes that need immediate attention.
