134. Questions to Ask Yourself About Potential Chronic BPPV


Listen Later

Wondering if you have BPPV?

For anyone with chronic dizziness, it can be really hard and distressing to figure out if that dizziness is a sign of Vestibular Migraine or BPPV.

While it’s a great sign that more people are talking about chronic dizziness, not every dizzy sensation is BPPV.

These are questions to start asking yourself along with an idea of when you should call your provider to be assessed for BPPV.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

  • How to know it’s time to reassess for BPPV or other possible conditions
  • What does “positional dizziness” even mean
  • What it could be if not BPPV
  • Diagnostic criteria and symptoms specific to BPPV
  • When to contact a provider to get assessed for BPPV
  • Important notes if you’re doing any short-term tracking
  • BPPV is really hard to diagnose—but not impossible.

    Keep these symptoms and notes in mind if you’re short-term tracking or if this is an area you’re trying to better understand about yourself. 

    Having the knowledge that you can handle it (because you have in the past) and that you have a plan and better idea of what to do, the faster you’ll feel in control and will be able to swiftly pick the best course of action.
