Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.. A really difficult treatment experience~

I think it was around the time when COVID was spreading widely.

It was when I received up to the third dose of the vaccination.

It was a time when work was piling up and I was busy, but it wasn't much different from usual.

I finished an unfinished task, rested at home, and fell asleep.

 

The moment I wake up after a good sleep, I experience something I have never experienced since birth.

The ceiling was spinning, and I felt dizzy, so I couldn't stand properly.

We arrived at the emergency room immediately, had some tests and a CT scan, but they said there was nothing abnormal.

 

Then I will guide you to the ENT department.

I went there and was diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

Looking at my symptoms, they are not severe but

There are no other drug treatments for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo; only physical therapy.

You told me to let you know about the method.

I received a prescription for dizziness and returned home.

 

Even then, the symptoms did not improve immediately.

I went to the nearest ENT clinic and received a proper examination, and I found out they have a machine that can diagnose BPPV.

 

Wearing large glasses, the staff member is doing as instructed.

I looked at the diagnosis while watching the screen.

The diagnosis is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), and it is said that the otoliths have come loose in the right ear.

 

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) generally does not require any treatment on its own.

They say that it often improves within a few weeks.

There are almost no aftereffects, but prompt diagnosis and treatment are necessary.

If successful, dizziness symptoms will immediately improve, so appropriate

It is advised to receive examination and treatment promptly.

 

There is a treatment for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo called canalith repositioning procedure.

It entered the semicircular canal while changing the position of the head.

It is a treatment that moves the displaced otoliths back to their original position.

 

I also went to the ENT clinic and received ear treatment.

Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, then turning my body to the side

He turned over and made me look at the picture of grapes.

Continuing to turn the other way, lying down again, and looking at the photos again.

They say it's a treatment method that involves repeating that and returning to the original position.

At first, I wondered what this was.

I was also doubtful and found it strange whether this could really be a treatment.

 

It continued to be bad for about a month afterward.

The symptoms gradually diminished.

Really when you bow your head or turn it sharply to the side

Because dizziness occurs frequently

I moved cautiously for a while ^^;

 

I think I am now completely free from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

Symptoms have not appeared for over a year.

It's in a state where you can comfortably turn your head when moving it.

 

But based on my experience with this condition

Depending on the location of the semicircular canal that causes symptoms

The method of stone removal surgery is changing.

More experienced than treating with a catheter.

It would be good to receive treatment from an otolaryngology specialist.

Someone said that benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is a chronic disease.

But if you receive proper treatment, you'll be freed from chronic illnesses.
