A member asked:
If one experiences vertigo with movement of the head, is that bppv or could it be due to another condition?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Certainly could be: That is one possible diagnosis that could be associated with the symptoms mentioned. But other things would have to be considered for a FIRM Dx of BPPV such as duration to extinguishing vertigo after head movement stops, integrity of ear components, other things such as presence or not of diabetes, hyperglycemic states, thyroid etc. If you'd like to speak more in-depth www.healthtap.com/drsaghafi
