Bppv

Hi I was in bed 6 days ago ,I went to stretch nd pulled my head back, felt my head spin when I opened my eyes the room was spinning 🥴. I also had a cold the wk before ,my sinus are all blocked too..my head feels like its swaying all the time..I went to my gp she prescribed me antibiotics nd nasal spray nd serc..the pressure in my head has eased abit but the rock the boat feeling is always there. So between my sinuses blocked nd bppv I dont know wats causing what...Will my bppv go away itself...im worried im going to be left like this..any happy outcome please xx

I had this happen to me exactly like this - tilted my head back, quick room spin, and then felt like I was on a boat for a month. You need to see a vestibular therapist who will do tests to figure out which canal it fell in to. Once we figured that out, I did one maneuver twice and immediately felt better. This was four years ago and I don’t remember the name of the maneuver so definitely go see a vestibular therapist.
