Vertigo relief recommendations.

I suggest seeing a physical therapist who specializes in vertigo. It can be BPPV, vestibular migraine, vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, Meniere's, probably more. There are exercises that help once you have an idea of the cause.

Go to a chiropractor. My grandmother had severe vertigo to the point she was bed ridden. She had instant and almost total relief after 1 session with a chiropractor and complete relief after 2 sessions. Every 6 months or so her symptoms come back - mild at first. As soon as they do, she has another session with her chiropractor and she is perfect again for another 6 months or so. Her chiropractor explained what was causing her vertigo. From memory, it was related to her skull snd cervical spine.

PT at Mayo gave me an exercise regiment for brain habituation. I am faithfully doing it twice a day. They say it takes patience and persistence, but it will get better in time, maybe 6 months.

The Epley Maneuver has helped me tremendously. My vertigo was so bad I couldn’t stand up without falling over. Got myself to a physical therapist who performed the Epley Maneuver on me and I had instant relief! I’ve gone back to him two more times when the vertigo came back. His explanation is that there are small pieces in our ears that move around and affect our balance. When they are out of place then we have vertigo. He also said that, usually, if you have more than one episode in a year, you will likely have to contend with it for the rest of your life. But if you have just one episode in a year it is unlikely that it will return. I advise calling some local PTs to see if they do the Epley Maneuver and get it done. Good luck! Hope your balance returns quickly.

The Epley maneuver addresses BPPV, but there are other causes of vertigo, which a PT can determine.
PT's look for eye movements (nystagmus) after certain maneuvers, often using goggles and a screen.

I have been to PT for BPPV myself and with my mother and daughter. The last time I had it, I went online for maneuvers. I have neck issues so found one that was safe for me.

Sit on the edge of bed, looking straight ahead, for 30+ seconds. Turn head to right, and quickly drop on your side to the left, so that you are sort of facing the ceiling. Hold for 30 seconds or until dizziness subsides. Then sit upright and look straight ahead. Hold for 30+ seconds or until dizziness subsides. I do this three times a day.

Execrcises for other types of vertigo involve looking at an "x" on the wall and then turning head back and forth while staring at the "x." Using playing cards, hold one above eye level and one below eye level and look up and down between them. Then do horizontally and diagonally.

All of these exercises make the vertigo worse initially, for seconds or minutes at least, but in the end they work. BPPV is from crystals in the ear dislodging and the exercises help put them back apparently. The other vertigo exercises deal with inner ear and/or brain I was told.

My ENT Dr taught me The Epley Maneuver.....it's a miracle

It is so empowering to be able to do it ourselves!

What if you just go to an ENT and have the wax removed from inside your ears every six months give or take to avoid Vertigo?

After a serious car accident I ended up with vertigo. The Epley maneuver worked great. I was given sheet instructions, and did it at home. I have not had any more episodes since and hope not to have any more

Ear wax has nothing to do with vertigo.
