Question 7

what is the definition or description of: benign positional vertigo?

Accepted Answer

BPPV: This is an inner ear disorder in which the nerve endings in our ears that normally contribute to our sense of balance are inappropriately sending signals to our brain.  These signals give us the sense we are moving when in fact we are not, and this results in vertigo.  It is caused when microscopic particles of calcium carbonate (otoliths) in the inner ear are dislodged.
