Identifying and Caring for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Individuals with vertigo mistakenly perceive motion (commonly a rotating motion) in their surroundings. The feelings of vertigo occasionally include dizziness, falling or spinning. Any time vertigo affects balance, it can result in falls and personal injuries – chiefly in older adults. More extreme cases can also cause vomiting, nausea, migraines, fainting spells and visual abnormalities called nystagmus.
