cornishcarlos Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) This is one for Sheryl... I have been getting dizzy spells periodically for the past 3 months. Majority of the time is when I'm laying down and roll over. Occasionally when I stand up quickly. I'm 45 yrs old, fit and no history of low blood pressure or stress. From research online, I believe it is BPPV and have found quite a few videos on treatment both at home and with professional assistance. DIY treatment doesn't seem to be helping (half somersault), should I persevere or go to see a doctor ? Pretty sure its not that bad, just uncomfortable... ??

Sheryl Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Given your age, to be on the safe side I would see a doctor. BPPV is posisble but more common in older people. See either a neurologist or an ENT specializing in vertigo/balance problems, don't bother with a GP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
