A member asked:

Can glossopharyngeal neuralgia make bppv worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It Depends: There are intimate connectivity between the glossopharyngeal nerve and the vestibular cochlear nerve. Are there any associations between your neuralgia pain and your vertigo? Perhaps keeping a pain and vertigo diary might be useful.
