A member asked:
Is canal occlusion for bppv vertigo a complicated surgery? i'm worried about having major incisions on my head, if there are any incisions.

It is delicate: Surgery should be reserved as a last resort to treatment of sever bppv. Plugging of the canals is the simplest of the surgical procedure. Other possible procedure4s involve removal or tones from the canal, cutting the nerves to the canal or removal of the canals.

Problem solving: Thinking is a normal part of problem solving. Getting stuck with repetitive anxious thoughts about the future is considered worrying. It is good that you are asking the questions. I don't know the answer regarding the surgery, but I do know that you will be able to be less worried if you problem solve for yourself.
