Understanding BPPV: Outlining the causes and effects of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
An accidental bump to the side of his head was all it took for Mark Knoblauch’s world to start spinning . . . literally. What followed were months of confusion, frustration, and a bit of annoyance as to why a rapid onset of vertigo would set in anytime he looked upward. Eventually, he found his answer. It turns out he was feeling the effects of the most common vestibular disorder out there – BPPV. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is a condition that triggers vertigo when the head is placed in a particular position. With BPPV, however, the vertigo ceases once the head is repositioned. Despite its sometimes forceful symptoms, the underlying cause of BPPV is relatively minor and can typically be fixed with a quick visit to a medical professional’s office. Because of his own experience with BPPV, Mark wrote Understanding BPPV so that everyone affected by this condition can have a quality resource guide detailing just what BPPV is, how it occurs, and how it is treated. Particular attention is focused on the intricate anatomy of the ear, as well as how this anatomy is involved in generating the symptoms associated with BPPV. Mark also outlnes the latest research into BPPV and provides an overview of the various diagnostic tests and treatments used to help BPPV patients in many cases get back to a vertigo-free life.
