How Is Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo Treated ?
![default](/r/images/default.png)
Thanks for the query.
The symptoms you have described looks like you are suffering from
1. Benign positional paroxysmal vertigo - which makes you dizzy because of problems in the rotation of the fluid in the ears. This can be corrected and cured if we can identify which ear is involved. This is done by Dix-Hallpike test.
Once we confirm you have to undergo repositioning (Epley Maneuvre) and you will be cured. This sometime can also cause visual problems due to nystagmus. However we have to rule out problems in the eyes also.
2. Lower back pain is due to Lumbar Spondylosis. Lower back pains does not make you dizzy.
Only the movement of the body which disturbs the fluid in the ear will make you feel dizzy.
So you will have to consult a ENT specialist to confirm the diagnosis and get yourself treated for the problem.
Hope i have answered your query.I will be available for follow up.
Take care.
Bye

Thanks for following me.
Any movement either slightest or larger movements can make you feel dizzy, but only when it creates imbalance between the two ears. If there is no imbalance it does not occur.
BPPV most of the time has nystagmus (rolling movements of eyes) associated with it. But when it is very subtle it can be picked up only on wearing Frenzel glasses or Video nystagmography. The direction of the nystagmus helps us to find out the malfunctioning semicircular canal (you know there are three on each side). After finding the particular semicircular canal which is abnormal Epley maneuvre is to be performed. If you want to try Home treatments for BPPV, Brandt Daroff ecercises can be done. But this takes long time like 6 months to one year to get adequate response.
So my advise is to find out the abnormal semicircular canal and get it treated by Epley maneuvre. This is done by Otologist and Neurologists in your area. Even a GP with experience are able to do these now.
Hope this helps.
Bye
