Symptoms of BPV

8. Dizziness
If you were to spin around for a while, things will continue to ‘spin’ for a while even after you stop. This is because the fluids in the vestibular system don’t settle down straight away, and this confuses the brain into thinking we are still in motion. This results in the sensation of dizziness.
Problems with the inner ear can also cause the brain to become confused, and feel movement even when the patient is still. It is often an unpleasant sensation and it can make the patient feel quite ill. The dizziness can also make it difficult for the patient to stand or walk, forcing them to sit down.
