Symptoms of BPV
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
2. Vertigo
As the name suggests, the main symptom of benign positional vertigo is vertigo. This is a sensation that everything around the patient is moving, when it is not. It will sometimes be experienced as though objects are swinging to and fro. At other times, the patient will experience a sensation of a spinning room.
The severity of vertigo can vary considerably from person to person. In some cases, it will only be mild and not have a significant impact. In others, it can leave the patient effectively immobile. The symptom should hopefully clear up altogether when the underlying cause has been treated.
