Shuttlecock Vertigo: The onset of true vertigo from playing badminton can occur from the sudden movements of the head resulting in the jarring loose of calcium carbonate crystals in the vestibular apparatus (semicircular canals) One develops a case of benign positional vertigo that will eventually resolve. A trip to the clinic may expedite recovery (Epilay Maneuvers can be administered) I call it Shuttlecock Vertigo.
