Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo Symptoms

Symptoms are the same feelings people experience when they spin around in a revolving chair or on an amusement park ride and then suddenly stop.

  • Vertigo is a sensation of spinning. Individuals may use the word "dizziness" though this is a difficult term for a health care practitioner to understand. There is a difference between vertigo (spinning) and lightheadedness or feeling of being unsteady that is NOT accompanied by spinning.

  • Loss of balance and falling

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Nystagmus (involuntary eye movements)
