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... ??

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.
