Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo treatment review (feat. Soonchunhyang University Hospital Neurology)

 

# Summary

I was hospitalized and treated at Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

The causes of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo vary, but in my case, it was due to work-related stress.

Since the recurrence rate of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is high, I will need to pay more attention to my health management in the future.

 

# Treatment Review

One day, I woke up after a good sleep and everything was spinning in front of my eyes.

I experienced dizziness and a spinning sensation while spinning.

Yes. I think it was probably due to stress.

Since leaving work on September 13, 2023, my sense of body balance has become somewhat unsteady.

Then, my head also started to hurt more and more.

I thought it would get better after a while, but it remained the same.

Especially, like staggering slightly after drinking alcohol, my sense of balance continued to deteriorate.

Does it hurt when you move, or does it happen after 1-2 minutes of staying still?

It will be fine.

2. I feel dizzy when I bow my head.

3. It is okay when sleeping, but the pain increases as I wake up and move more.

So, I went to the emergency room at Soonchunhyang University Hospital the next day.

According to the doctor, she said she will come and go for about a week.

And the symptoms fluctuated for about two weeks.

Then, it improved starting from mid-October last week.

My cause seems to be stress, so I slept quite a lot.

And I exercised a little bit.

Fortunately, there are no symptoms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo at the moment.

However, once this occurs, the recurrence rate is said to be high.

I will need to take good care of it from now on.
