Started experiencing BPPV again after about 3 months of no symptoms 🥺

BPPV: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

Inside your ears are otoconia crystals that sends signals to your brain about movement and motion, gives you a sense of balanced.

These crystals can become dislodged, and as you move around they send incorrect signals to the brain, and the eyes, causing illusions of movements or spinning, which then cause dizziness and nausea.

This condition is called BPPV.
🤢😵‍💫😵💫

I was experiencing symptoms of dizziness and nausea for about a month before I got diagnosed with BPPV and received treatment (medication and physical exercises).

Now that I know what it is, I'm not as worried about it, but still annoying and a disruption in my life.

The treatment involves having to do certain movements to basically try to send those crystals back to the right position. I have to do it on the bed. 😔
