10. Complications
Possible complications of vestibular neuronitis include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, BPPV and persistent postural-perceptual dizziness, PPPD. Although bothersome, both disorders are rarely serious and typically self-limiting.1Smith, Travis. ‘Vestibular Neuronitis.’ StatPearls /[Internet/]., U.S. National Library of Medicine, 10 July 2020, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK549866.
It's essential you see a doctor if you experience symptoms of unexplained dizziness and disorientation to rule out any serious issues. Neurological and circulation problems, medication side effects, low blood sugar, anemia, and Meniere's Disease are just a few of the many other causes of dizziness.
