Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV, is a feeling that you are spinning or that the room is spinning around you. It is caused by the debris of crystals (sometimes called ear rocks) in your inner ear. Some of the symptoms of BPPV are dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, blurred vision and vomiting. There is no known cure for BPPV, but your vertigo can be treated both at home and by your doctor.
