BPPV Diagnosed. Dizziness, Difficulty In Walking In A Straight Line. Taking Stemetil. Recovery Time?
I have had a diagnosis of BPPV today, but Doctor says symptoms do not quite fit. Am dizzy, have difficulty walking in a straight line, and am constantly bumping into walls and door frames, but always on my left. General feeling of being a bit spaced out! Unable to park car - seems my spacial awareness is inpaired. Eyes are normal. Taking Stemetil but so far no effect - how long before I should notice some improvement?
