4. Lightheadedness and Dizziness
Mild attacks of BPV may appear as a feeling of lightheadedness or wooziness. A person may feel that they don’t have good balance or that they’re floating. A slightly worse attack causes dizziness.
Dizziness means an altered sense of orientation and a loss of awareness of balance and position within a space. The difference between dizziness and vertigo is that in an attack of vertigo, it feels as if the surrounding space is really moving.2‘Are Vertigo and Dizziness the Same Thing?’ Health Essentials from Cleveland Clinic, Health Essentials from Cleveland Clinic, 14 Sept. 2020, health.clevelandclinic.org/are-vertigo-and-dizziness-the-same-thing/
