Thank you for excellent reminders of BPPV self care! I am a member of my hospital’s Rehabilitation Center that keeps me going when fluid/crystals drop. Diagnosed in my teens. Long periods of no events are a blessing:) Now in the last decades of life. Again, blessings on the work you are doing.💕🩺
Chronic allergic dizziness due to hayfever and tmjd sinus pressure dizziness, and cervical vertigo here. So a lot! It's aweful. The brainfog is real. Also exhaustion where sleeping enough does not help. I hope this helps me! Going to try right away cause I'm not having a good day!
I have learned a few of these sleep positions through sad experience. This is a keeper video. Thanks for your frequent and helpful attention to vertigo a nd dizziness. I alternate; BPPV, cervical. Over decades,but less frequent in recent months. BPPV is a spin and it doesn't always disappear quickly with Epley. Sometimes days. Spinocervical is lightheadedness, inability to gain vision focus,nausea, and generally harder to get on top of.
I've had a history of BPPV, and the Epley maneuver has worked well, except for my current bout. If I sleep on my back or left side, I can get up without being dizzy, if I sleep on the right, it takes about 30 seconds to stop spinning when I get up. Gonna try another round of the Epley...really hope that helps. Thanks for your attention on this subject. It's one of the worst conditions to have. On par with migraines, and probably worse, except in my case, not as frequent.
Is this the way you gave to sleep the rest of your life Both sides at one time made me spin when I layed done .So do I i have to lay on my back forever.
I been dealing with this for a year I have to learn how to do the manvers .But will.inever het better and amount thing is my balance in is way of my and my hearing also. Is s to this my from the vertigo.And is s to this is e VC er no going to to me heal where I'm the crystals come in our
I have a contour pillow that is thicker on the edges than in the middle. One edge is higher than the other. If I sleep on my side I use the higher side. If I’m on my back I use the lower side. I can’t sleep on any other kind of pillow anymore. It’s a lifesaver.
It can be if you have a loss of cervical lordosis (neck curve); with cervicogenic dizziness the symptoms may get worse with treatment before they improve. Best wishes.
Hi I'm on my third and most severe day of vertigo. Today it lasted from when i woke to 9pm. I tried epley for the first time, made me physically sick. This is the fourth time I've had a series of vertigo. It's crippling. How can i prevent it? Thank goodness i have a spouse to help as i have a young family.
Hello DR Jon, i really say thanks to you for the amazing video, can you please make video to fight against anxiety or depression, whenever i am getting shocking news or sometime i fell shortness of breathness, when i did check with pulmonologiest he said you have some anxiety and he prescribed anti depression medicine, i dont want to addict on medicine, please share some excerise to come over this problem
Hi Dr. Saunders, I am a new subscriber in the Chanel. I have a Q ? With the wedge, do I need the roller to support the neck? I suffer from BPPV. I am waiting for an appointment. Thank you! You are a blessing.
Dr. Jon, I have been diagnosed with BPPV done the semont maneuver the strong vertigo is gone but I feel dizzy and uncomfortable when I lay supine and I am starting to freak out as I have slept on non affected side for more than 3 weeks, but I would love to sleep supine, any suggestions? Thanks 😊
I’ve had dizziness for 2.5 months. Started immediately after TBI. Doing neck exercises and vestibular therapy. Do you have a prognosis on how long this usually takes to heal. Some days I don’t know if it’s getting better.
Is it okay to use a wedge pillow if you sleep on your side? I'm not sure which side my veritgo is on but I've got left shoulder issues, so I'm unable to sleep on that side. Plus is it ok to you a flat pillow when sleeping on a wedge pillow, whether you sleep on your side or back.
Hlw jon I want to ask you a question. I am suffering from cervical spondylitis and I have done my x-ray. And it shows straightning of cervical lordosis. Whenever I move my head side to side and tilt it makes some type of grinding and crunching noises. So my question is that if we have loss of neck cervical curvature does it creates this type of Creepy noises ? And I am doing some exercises to make my Cervical curve back again . And if my curve backs in its own alignment will this noises be stop ?? And how much time it takes to get the curve back ??
@@drjonsaunders yes I have watched that video. But I want to know one more thing. I am doing exercises to get my curve back again. So I want to know if my curve gets back again will those sounds be gone ? And how much time it can take to restore again?? What is your thought ? Just wanted to get an idea about time?
Heloo doc . i am from Assam. My father got virtego problm from last 1week cant sleep straight..sometim he feels better what to do MRI ECG rapid profile ..or eye track exerciee.
Sorry to hear, please have him watch all my videos on dizziness and vertigo and then have him see his doctor for an appropriate diagnosis. Best wishes.
Sorry,been there done that. I dread dentist appointments because I can't tolerate having my head back too far. I have been good lately,but with occasional BPPV, I have found I may need 2 or 3 DAYS doing the Epley to feel secure away from the wall,or outside,or especially driving. Vertigo and lightheadedness are serious.
I sleep on my left side and i use a CPAP machine. My neck is stiff and causing dizziness and I am afraid I am going to fall and I could use your help thank you
That can mean it may be a different canal involved, the anterior canal vs posterior. Or it may be a different cause that you would need to see your doctor for an appropriate diagnosis.
so if doing any of the maneuvers to get the crystal back where it needs to be, is it a fix/cure, or just subsiding it until the crystal gets out again, because its still loose right?
Within 24 days I have positional vertigo, I am taking treatment but it does not go away, I am disappointed. is it normal for it to last so many days?? I'm really tired, 24 days I sleep only on one side, because if I turn on the other side, I get dizzy, when I bend down, when I raise my head... it's so hard
Hello sir, I have been facing vertigo from last 2 years and nothing seems to come to my rescue with physical health my mental health is at risk as i am not able yo find the cause for my vertigo can u help??

Will add that to my future video list!
First and foremost.... it's imperative to know the cause to the vertigo.
Very true, need to first rule out sinister causes.
Hey doc, kindly upload video on exercises for Upper Cross Syndrome and its symptoms.
Will add to future video list!

No with a wedge, you wouldn't need the roll. Welcome to my channel! :)
Dr. Jon why is everyone (it seems) so dizzy? I’m wondering if the bad posture due to looking at our cell phones has anything to do with it. Ugh! 😣
Part of it for sure!

Good question! It's different for everyone unfortunately...but stay hopeful and keep working at it...you got this!
Thanks I have BPPV under control now
But that's how I sleep
👍

I’ve been sleeping sitting up for 2 weeks. If I lie flat the next day I’m going from pillar to post.

Vertigo and lightheadedness are serious.
Would a pinch nerve in the back of your neck cause vertigo?
Typically a pinched/irritated nerve wouldn't cause vertigo, but it could indirectly cause dizziness.
Thank you!
I sleep on my left side and i use a CPAP machine. My neck is stiff and causing dizziness and I am afraid I am going to fall and I could use your help thank you
Sorry to hear, please explore my channel for help. Best wishes!
I suffer from vertigo when I look up more than turning my head from side to side. What can I do?
That can mean it may be a different canal involved, the anterior canal vs posterior. Or it may be a different cause that you would need to see your doctor for an appropriate diagnosis.
Thank you for your reply, I'll speak to my doctor.
so if doing any of the maneuvers to get the crystal back where it needs to be, is it a fix/cure, or just subsiding it until the crystal gets out again, because its still loose right?
In some cases it may return, in others it fixes it permanently.
What if im a belly sleeper?

Please, Dr . Saunders, could you tell me where to get those pillows anc the brand?
Check the link in description below. Best wishes.
I need an answer please. Where can I get a good pillow and what brand, for vertigo and cervical deazziness?
Within 24 days I have positional vertigo, I am taking treatment but it does not go away, I am disappointed. is it normal for it to last so many days?? I'm really tired, 24 days I sleep only on one side, because if I turn on the other side, I get dizzy, when I bend down, when I raise my head... it's so hard
It can be stubborn sometimes - please speak to your doctor for further direction.
Hello sir,

I'm sorry to hear this. I would need to examine you. Please go back to your doctor for further testing. All the best.
Lying on my back causes me to have vertigo
