“Stop the Earth, I’ll get off!”
Has it ever happened to you that you suddenly stood up and your head was spinning. They threw back their heads and the world turned upside down three times. Some people experience similar sensations even when they are just tossing and turning in bed.
We’ve found the answer for you. Neurologist Vladimir Peshkov explained on the YouTube channel what it is and why. It’s all pretty serious. This scourge is called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). This is dizziness of a systemic nature – a feeling of spinning that lasts 15-20, sometimes 30 seconds.
Of the good. Neurologist Peshkov said that the main word in this name, which is difficult for the average person, is “benign.”
Patients with this diagnosis complain of lightheadedness, nausea, sometimes to the point of vomiting. They describe the state: “as if I’m on a carousel” or say that objects around are moving.
BPPV most often affects women, especially those with osteoporosis and head injuries.
And sometimes BPPV is idiopathic – for no reason, no reason.
And that’s the reason. We have an inner ear, it has a system of channels, they are closed. And for some reason, otoliths—micrograins—can break off and dangle freely in the canals. Why, science does not know for sure. When they come into contact with the receptors, dizziness occurs.
This can be treated by selecting positions, but it is categorically impossible to look for these positions on your own – driving the otolith into another semicircular canal will aggravate the situation. See a doctor urgently!
