Bpv (benign Positional Vertigo): What Else Is Known Or Suspe Posted: 09-18-06 14:31pm
What else is known or suspected about bpv
(benign positional vertigo) ?
I've read about bpv, benign positional
vertigo. I know that when there has been
no trauma to the head, bpv can strike just
due to aging. But I wonder if any
researchers suspect other things about
this problem.
Is there any thought that calcium
imbalance in the body leads to the
crumbling of tiny calcium particles in the
inner ear, a particle or
particles then getting into some part of
the balance organs where
it/these shouldn't be?
In terms of recurrence in an individual,
how many recurrences of bpv lead a person
to seek surgery to prevent bpv-- 3 bouts
of recurring bpv, 10, 20, what number?
And when there is no desire for surgery,
do recurrences tend to finally end at some
point? [i'm wondering if, for some, bpv
is just something that one has to go
through 'til these bad
dizzy-and-nauseating-periods end
permanently perhaps because some change in
the body no longer allows them to occur.]
also, is it possible for an individual
<who suffers from recurring bouts of
bpv> to do the epley head maneuver by
himself (i. E. Unaided) to bring about
an instant cure or does success in doing
the maneuver depend on self-done or
md-done tests to first determine in which
inner ear (i. E. On which side of the
head) the problem is occurring?
Any other info on what non-traumatic
things lead to bpv?
