BPPV is the most common cause of positional vertigo and often causes brief spinning sensations when you roll over in bed, look up, bend over, or change head positions. Understanding the typical pattern of BPPV symptoms can help you determine whether this may be the source of your dizziness.

In this video, you’ll learn:

• The most common BPPV symptoms
• How BPPV vertigo feels compared to other types of dizziness
• Why position changes trigger spinning
• When you should seek medical evaluation

BPPV occurs when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear become displaced and move into the semicircular canals. This disrupts normal balance signals and causes brief episodes of spinning vertigo with specific head movements.

If you’ve been searching:
