Vertigo - has anyone resolved the sudden onset of vertigo

I am vouching for the PT. It is all that saves me from my vertigo attacks. Mine was caused frim sudden hearing loss which I never got back. Ask for a PT who has experience with vertigo and the Epley or a similar technique. They have goggles you put on where they can tell which side to treat. They can also show you how to correctly perform the maneuver so that you can do it on your own. I strongly encourage you to go to the PT at least the first time. If settling the crystals does not do the trick, then your ENT can explore other causes after that has been ruled out.

Many thanks for your comments! I'm puzzled as to why the only dizziness I feel now are for a few seconds when I lie straight down on the bed at night, and then for a few seconds when I sit up ready to stand to get out of bed. But, I don't have dizziness when I roll over in bed. I had that as long as 12 years ago, and it went away by itself. I think my overall motion balance when standing and moving has gotten worse, but I'm nowhere close to the risk point of losing balance and falling down. I feel highly slighted that my ENT doctor did not try the epley maneuver on me during my office visit. He rushed me out of the exam room in less than 5 minutes. Have not gone to PT as yet, but I do have a referral authorization slip to use.
