Yes I do have BPPV which is vertigo on my left side. Stopped sleeping on that side and symptoms are not as bad. Learned how to realign crystals in my ears to subvert the vertigo. Thanks so much for the referral to otolaryngologist a d for your response.

@chinavegas,

I'm glad that the responses you have received have encouraged you to keep looking for answers. Often, getting to the root of a problem can be a difficult task, but it is worth it when you meet the right doctor and get help.

I would also recommend that you ask for a referral to a speech therapist. Most people think that speech therapy is only for speech problems, however, a good speech therapist is an excellent source for helping with swallowing problems. They can give you special exercises to help those muscles that help with swallowing correctly. I am very grateful for the speech therapists I have met with. They have helped me with significant swallowing problems.

I hope you will keep in touch @chinasvegas. Will you post again and let me know how you are doing?
