Benign Positional Vertigo treatment in Benito Juárez (Quintana Roo)

Before explaining what it is, it is worth knowing when to seek care: if you experience brief episodes of intense dizziness when moving your head or lying down, it is advisable to have it checked. Benign positional vertigo is a spinning sensation that appears with certain changes in head position.

Why it happens: it is related to the movement of tiny particles within the inner ear, which is where part of our balance resides.

Common symptoms: short-lived dizziness, a sensation that everything is spinning and, at times, nausea or temporary unsteadiness.

Who assesses it? The otolaryngologist and the audiologist are the appropriate professionals; the neurologist may also be involved when there are doubts. If the episodes recur or limit you, the sensible thing is to discuss it with one of them.
