Positional Vertigo
11 Nov 2025Understanding Positional Vertigo – Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of dizziness. It occurs when tiny calcium crystals (otoconia) inside the inner ear become dislodged and move into the wrong canal, disrupting your balance signals.
This leads to brief episodes of dizziness or a spinning sensation, especially when you change head positions — like looking up, rolling over in bed, or getting up suddenly.
Common Symptoms
- Spinning sensation (vertigo) lasting a few seconds
- Imbalance or lightheadedness
- Nausea or vomiting during episodes
- Unsteadiness while walking
