6. Loss of Balance and Reduced Confidence
Loss of balance due to vertigo is an issue for people of all ages, but it can be particularly problematic for older adults who are often at an increased risk of injury if they fall.
Some older adults are already nervous about falling, and if they have BPPV this may lead to decreased confidence. This could cause the individual to go out of the house less often and become less independent with activities such as shopping. They may also become socially isolated as a result.
