The method of testing for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is more complicated than I thought.

I was surprised to find that the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) test is more complicated than I thought.

If dizziness persists, it may be a sign of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

To get a diagnosis at the hospital, you have to undergo several tests.

 

 

First, there is the vestibular function test (VNG), where you wear equipment like goggles to measure eye movements.

It checks your balance function by observing how your eyes respond when you move your head.

You may feel dizzy during the test, but you can accurately determine if the otoliths are functioning properly.

 

There is also a test called the repositioning of otoliths, which involves turning the head at a specific angle to check the location of the otoliths.

Since dizziness can occur during the test, I was a bit nervous, but it's an important test to determine where the otoliths are located.

 

 

Lastly, a hearing test is also conducted to check the overall condition of the ears.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and hearing problems are not directly related, but it involves a comprehensive examination of ear health.

 

I thought the testing process would be simple, but it turned out to be more complicated and dizzying than I expected, making it quite difficult.

If you experience severe dizziness, don't just ignore it—go to the hospital for an examination! You need to know exactly what it is in order to receive proper treatment.
