I have had some pretty annoying vertigo lately. It's bad enough that I may not be at school until the end of the year if it doesn't go away. It is now unsafe for me to be at school, because I can't walk in a straight line. I keep stumbling, and almost falling. Thankfully, I haven't fallen yet, however, it's sure to come sooner or later. I'll be caught in one of my many many dizzy spells, without a nearby handhold, and then I'll be on the ground. I have been diagnosed with BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some remedies to cure this vertigo.
Doctor said it could be related to the deafness in my genes, because balance is caused by the inner ear. If that's true, I could be stuck like this my entire life. That could make it a little hard to do everyday stuff... I'll be going to a neurologist in a couple weeks to see what they think could be wrong with me. Best thing I can do seems to be waiting it out and seeing if I can get rid of this over time.
Vertigo is often caused by crystallization in the ear, which screws up the liquid in your ears, which makes it so you can't stay up right. However, this is very uncommon for someone of my age. It is much more common in elderly people. It's not unheard of for someone my age to have that, but it's still not likely. The doctor I went to yesterday says he honestly thinks it's related to my father's and uncle's deafness. I probably won't become deaf because of this, but, who knows what will happen. I hope to figure out what's wrong with me once and for all.
Once again, if anyone could give me a suggestion on remedies to deal with vertigo, please post it!
