Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)

Lifestyle and home remedies

If you experience dizziness associated with BPPV, consider these tips:

  • Be aware of the possibility of losing your balance, which can lead to falling and serious injury.
  • Avoid movements, such as looking up, that bring on the symptoms.
  • Sit down immediately when you feel dizzy.
  • Use good lighting if you get up at night.
  • Walk with a cane for stability if you're at risk of falling.
  • Work closely with your doctor to manage your symptoms effectively.

BPPV may recur even after successful therapy. Although there's no cure, the condition can be managed with physical therapy and home treatments.
