116. Can PPPD Be Cured? | What it is + Treatment Options


Listen Later

PPPD (AKA: persistent postural perceptual dizziness) is a chronic form of dizziness which is very manageable. But everyone wants to know “is there a cure for PPPD?” 

To get to that answer, we’ve got to go all the way back to the beginning to uncover why PPPD is happening in the first place. Because PPPD is always caused by another underlying diagnosis.

It’s both under and overly diagnosed—and this episode is built to be a resource for you. So you can finally feel empowered to understand what’s going on and what to do about it next.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

  • What persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is
  • What symptoms are mistakenly associated with PPPD
  • What generally makes PPPD better or worse
  • Places and events that are more challenging with PPPD
  • What usually triggers PPPD
  • How PPPD is diagnosed
  • Personality types that are more likely to have PPPD
  • Why dizziness and anxiety are so closely linked
  • If there is a cure for PPPD
  • What the Wheel of Management is
  • The best treatment options for PPPD
  • You do not need to be dizzy everyday for the rest of your life. PPPD is treatable, but you need a treatment plan that works for you. 

    A great place to start is VGF! Support, education, and community—all of that plus more resources than you can imagine are waiting for you in Vestibular Group Fit.
