4. Dizziness and Wooziness
Most people associate vertigo with dizziness. With BPPV, the crystals in the ear canals interfere with the canal’s ability to pick up movements and translate these movements to help the person balance.
Persistent dizziness can turn into wooziness. This is sometimes described as feeling drunk or otherwise impaired. It may take a lot of concentration to sit upright or walk normally because doing so requires fighting the confusing signals coming from the inner ear.
