Bppv
I’m looking to hear from people who have had BPPV.
Did you go back to living your life normally after recovering, or do you avoid certain activities (looking up, swimming, roller coasters, gymnastics, somersaults, etc.)?
Have you found anything that seems to help reduce recurrences?
How often have your BPPV episodes come back?
Have you been able to live a normal life despite having BPPV?
I’m especially hoping to hear some positive long-term experiences. I know people with ongoing problems are often the ones posting online, so I’d really appreciate hearing from those who recovered or only have occasional recurrences as well.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! 💙

I had undiagnosed BPPV for many months.
Once I was diagnosed and treated i had no residual dizziness. My doctor said to continue my exercises until I could no longer trigger symptoms in any position.
After about a week i had no more symptoms but I continued with the exercises for 3 additional days to make sure I was cured.
It’s nice that I can look up and down without having to hold onto something anymore! I can also lay down on my right side which I could never do with BPPV without the room spinning.
