How To Treat BPPV Despite Performing Epley Mameuver?
Years ago I had vertigo, and Epley did not help-, but it was cured by balance exercises. I now have what clearly seems to be BPPV, i.e., I can be in a sitting position, look down and then stand up, and everything is dizzy; does not happen nearly as bad, if I just stand up without looking down; but neither the Epley procedure nor the Half Somersault method helps. Suggestions?

Hi dear ,
Welcome to HCM,
Understanding your concern . As per your query you are suffering BPPV despite performing epley mameuve . The symptoms you mention in query occur due to wide range of reasons like migraines , head injury , certain medications , ear infection , condition like meniere's disease and due to cervical spondylosis .
It is very important to find out the exact cause . So i would suggest you to consult ENT specialist to get examination with the help of tests like rotatory chair test , prong test , examination with otoscope .
Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug along with anti inflammatory , antibiotics and recommend vestibular therapy .For now i would like to suggest you some home remedies drink green tea with ginger thrice a day and drink lots of fluids like juices and water .
Avoid caffeine product and do light exercises like yoga and meditation.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
