A member asked:

Can antacids cause a build up of calcium in inner ear and cause bppv or vertigo or dizziness?

Dr. Babak Larian answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Calcium deposit: No, there are no reported cases of high calcium leading to deposits on the inner ear, and vertigo. Bppv is also not caused by high calcium levels.
