bppv

i have been feeling giddy often over the last week or so. it happened one early morning when i woke up and felt the whole world spinning as i attempted to walk to my toilet. i would have suffered a bad fall if not for the fact that my toilet was only two steps away and i was able to quickly hold onto the door frame and get my balance as the giddiness tapers off. i assumed it was low blood pressure and didn't quite bothered about it. and then it happened again a couple of times after that. and i realized it happened when i lie down on my bed, and when i turned from one side to another side.

today, i paid a visit to my chiro. i described it to him and similarly, he thought it was low bp too and asked me to do my bp checks regularly. and as he did the chiro treatment, my dizziness struck. from my stunned reaction and inability to react when he asked me to turn to my side, he concluded it was bppv (or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo).

and immediately, he taught me a procedure to manage this and it worked! glad i got an answer to my dizziness… and i thanked my chiro for helping me with this. so sweet of him!

just have to manage this moving ahead. 

spinning spinning spinning….
