I love how this guy handles Jamie's appearance! I tells me everything I need to know about him. Great demeanor.

thank you, i think this was helpful although now i kind of just feel sick... sigh. have had vertigo on and off for many years and different types. off to try the epley again

Many thanks for posting

Hi Doc. Was involved in an accident about 3 weeks ago. I had a concussion and can't remember the accident at all. Suffered a blow on the right side of face. Now I am going through vertigo.  Experiencing all what you have said.

Great info, thank you so much for your time and knowledge!

Thank you for the video. Quick question: if my left ear is affected. Do I then start the Eply treatment with my head to the right?

Wish I had someone to watch my eyeballs right now.

Hey bud, part of my vertigo ended up being from occipital nerve and muscles on right side. Effected my ear, eyes, and such. Chiro does occipital lift and fixes it every time, lasts several weeks. My right occipital muscles always get tight I hate it.

Just wanted you to know though, Incase you get patience with that issue, the occipital lift about saved my life. Unfortunately I get bppv as well and now I’m fighting that again lol. Take care man.

I tried this and recorded my eyes with my phone. I felt the sensation and my eyes twitching. When I looked at the video I can’t see the eyeball moving but the bottom lid twitching. 🤔

anyone know what the mechanics are behind the nystagmus? Is something pressing on an optical nerve?

Question: you mentioned just treating the worst side, if both are positive. Is there a reason to not treat both sides? Thank you--your videos are very helpful !

What are your thoughts on the half barrel roll? Does this have the same effect as the Epley?

Hi! Ive had vertigo for about 5 weeks but have emetophobia so was scared to do any manouvers..2 days ago I finally did on my left side and felt much better. Ive got a bad cold and cough atm and just as I thought it was gone I started having real bad vetigo in bed last night. I wish I had seen your videos before on how to test which side its on..I started doing the epley on my right side this morning as I felt ut was on the ither side then ut usually was and definitely was extremely dizzy on the first step of the epley on right side. I now just feel like I made it worse as if theres crystals loose on both sides and I messed it all up :( I will test properly now to find out whats going on but my question is what is I have vertigo in both ears how to treat that? So much could go wrong putting crystals in both ears in different canals I presume? Just scares making everything 10x worse :/

Is there an explanation why many therapist give different instructions? I have heard them saying that after the epley don't move your head back or to the ground for at least 24hrs because the crystals could fall back. So is retesting with the dix hallpike recommendable or not?

If you feel fluid movement in your inner ear, will that affect the diagnosis method?

I’ve seen a physical therapist who said my history sounds like BPPV but the Dix-Hallpike was negative. I had an episode in the appointment but didn’t have nystagmus but the therapist said my history is consistent with BPPV and didn’t know what else to suggest. I’ve tried Brandt-Daroff for a week and Epley once a night for 3 nights. Also tried half somersault and had an episode after each try. What do I do?

Hey Gordon, what if you accidentally do the Epley maneuver on the wrong side? My doctor told me to do the left Epley move but when I tried this above it was my right side that bothered me when I turned to my right side. Now panicking I've made it worse!

Hi Dr
thanks for your video
i am now studying this vestibular rehab course

but can you help me in eye movement direction for each involved canal?
for example in this video you test the left ear, so eye movement is torsional but to which direction??

what is the eye movement direction in case of ant or horizontal canal

thanks

Jamie, way to ruin the video at the EXACT moment he was telling us what to do. smh. Some people just need attention.

Please remove the clown from the video and your acknowledgement of her.  I struggle with complicated instructions enough already. You need a partner to check your eye movements? Can you see it yourself?
