What could be the reason for constant vertigo for more than a month?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern. Momentary vertigo associated with movement of the head is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo most commonly due to dislodging of the otoconia or otoliths in the posterior semicircular canal. You need to get the Dix-Hallpike maneuver to diagnose it and get correction maneuvers like Epley to get it corrected.

Hope this helps. Thank you.

I read your query and understood your concern. Get the Dix-Hallpike Maneuver done. If it comes positive get the correction maneuvers, and you will get permanent relief. It hardly takes more than five to seven minutes. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

I read your query and understood your concern. Yes, the Brandt-Daroff exercise can speed up the compensation process of vertigo. But the conclusive test is Dix-Hallpike Maneuver. If it comes negative then it is not BPPV.

I hope this helps. Thank you.

Hello,

Glad to have you back! I am here to help you get the best medical advice.

If vertigo is a true rotatory sensation that is a feeling of self or the surrounding rotating and is only provoked by changes in head positions like suddenly looking up, taking turns in bed, hanging head from bed edge, and lasts for only a few seconds then it is BPPV.

Thank you.

Hello,

I understand your concern. Dizziness and vertigo are different. Do you feel the surroundings or self-rotating? Or it is just unsteady or a feeling of sinking?

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. Sometimes after a positional vertigo a minor vertigo sensation remains which will be completely recovered after an Epley's or Simmonts maneuver. Your symptoms suggest you had a Frank positional vertigo, which is on the path of recovery but the maneuvers will speed up the recovery. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. It is still BPPV even if not provoked by these exercises because you are on the recovery phase when most of the otoliths have settled to their normal position and significant compensation has happened. BPPV or other positional vertigo of the other two canals are provoked by head movements mostly in the acute phase. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

I read your query and understood your concern. If there is sound sensitivity, it is unlikely to be related to BPPV. It could suggest that the issue is not BPPV, but rather another condition involving both the vestibular and cochlear systems, or it may be attributable to stress. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.
