I was diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and received treatment for about three months. (Canalith repositioning procedure and methods to resolve residual dizziness)

 

I have experienced suffering for several months due to having benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Fortunately, when they are able to walk on their own in the early stages.
I went to the nearby hospital, Son ENT Clinic, and received a canalith repositioning procedure, so I recovered.
If dizziness occurs again afterward and feels similar to that time
I am managing and overcoming it on my own.

 

 

 

 

 

Is it because my immune system weakens as I get older?

There are quite a few people with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

It's a hospital I thought I wouldn't catch anything from, after all...

One day, I woke up and the world was spinning.
I was so dizzy that I couldn't even get up.
I had an episode of vestibular neuritis after childbirth.

I was so dizzy at that time that I couldn't gather my senses.
It feels similar to vestibular neuritis but also different!!
Based on what I've heard before, I thought it might be benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

So, I went directly to the nearby Hand ENT Clinic.

Anyway, I can't drive there either.

Because I can't go far alone

I thought I should go somewhere nearby when the symptoms were manageable enough to walk.

I had a few tests with the doctor and received the results as I expected.

 

 

 

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is treated with repositioning maneuvers.

A small stone attached to the vestibular organ.
In other words, the stone in your ear, called an otolith, has fallen out.
It is a disease that causes dizziness.
So, I need to perform a treatment that puts that dislodged stone back in its place.

Which ear's otolith has fallen out?
Depending on the location you are in
The direction and method of the substitution surgery are different.

 

 

 

The most commonly observed side is the left posterior (left posterior semicircular canal).
I also think that the stone has fallen on that side.
I performed the substitution procedure using the same method and approach as above.
This was done by the nurse in the treatment room.
You might recover after undergoing a substitution surgery once.
Just as some people need to undergo multiple procedures, individual differences also appear.

And I also combined medication treatment.

It's a story I heard later from a university professor.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo can be fully overcome without medication treatment.

University professors consider their lives to be at stake, so they think of illness as a joke lol

This much seems to be nothing.

 

Anyway, I received a prescription for the medication and took it, but
Despite undergoing multiple episodes of canalith repositioning procedures

I kept feeling a slight dizziness continuously.

So I was very worried that it might be a different illness.

Because I have had a cerebral artery dissection before.

I am quite sensitive to dizziness and headaches.

 

I asked Dr. Son, the ENT specialist.

Despite performing the replacement surgery to this extent, the persistent dizziness remains.
It was also mentioned that it could be caused by nerves or other symptoms besides benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Just as I was about to say that it was the day I usually go to the university hospital neurology department,
They also told me to try making a referral there.

So I asked the university hospital professor, and

Fortunately, I received the answer that the dizziness still remains.

And the professor is remaining with the residual dizziness.
They provided a method to eliminate it.

 

 

 

 

You can do it in the same way as above.
The professor said that after properly positioning the stone with a substitution procedure
He said it is a method to eliminate the remaining dizziness.

These days, when I feel a slight dizziness like that situation back then
I am implementing the above method.

 

However, you see.

If you have BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo)
Look up self-therapy at home
It should not be performed arbitrarily.
Go to the ENT clinic and find out which side is wrong.
We need to clearly understand and grasp the situation first.

Depending on which side the stone has come out of

The direction in which benign paroxysmal positional vertigo appears also changes.

So, we need to understand that first.

And in some cases, medication treatment is also administered.

Although the university professor said it was a disease that did not require medication treatment,

I think it might be necessary for a quick recovery.

This part should be done after consulting with the doctor.

 

It is said that once BPPV occurs, it is easy for it to recur.
It hasn't recurred yet.
I usually take care of my immune system.
We should try to prevent it from happening again.
