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? Thanks
