If you’ve ever experience bouts of vertigo when you make certain head movements, such as getting out of bed or rolling over in bed, you may be suffering from a condition called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). 
This condition can be frustrating to deal with and can drastically affect your quality of life.
Explaining Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) Vertigo is a type of dizziness, which is defined as the illusion of movement that is the result of a mismatch of information between your visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems. Vertigo is categorized as either central or peripheral. Generally, central vertigo is usually more serious and peripheral vertigo is more benign in nature. Estimates have shown that between 45% and 54% of patients that go to their doctor with the complaint of dizziness are diagnosed with vertigo and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is reported to be the most common cause vertigo. BPPV is caused by (small particles of calcium, sometimes referred to as otoliths).
These otoconia are ordinarily attached to the utricle membrane in the ear. Trauma, aging, and infection can cause the otoliths to detach from the utricle.

Once the otoliths become detached, they accumulate within the semicircular canal. The canal is the most commonly affected canal, followed by the lateral (horizontal), and rarely, the superior (anterior) canal.
Head movement cause the otoliths to trigger receptors in the semicircular canal that send faulty signals to the brain resulting in vertigo and nystagmus (abnormal eye movements). There are of BPPV, and it’s important to distinguish between the two as treatment varies: • Canalithiasis • loose crystals move freely in the fluid of the semicircular canal, • takes less than 60 seconds for the crystals to stop moving after a change in head position has triggered the vertigo, • once the crystals stop moving, the nystagmus and vertigo stop. • Cupulolithiasis • crystals are believed to be stuck on the nerve bundles that sense movement of fluid, • the nystagmus and vertigo continue until the head is moved out of the position that has triggered the episode. Statistically, BPPV tends to afflict women twice as often as men, and individuals are often affected during their 40’s and 50’s – with 49 years being the mean age of symptoms onset.
