BPPV, Spinning, and Vertigo blog by Wendy Webb Schoenewald, PT, OCS #BPPV is A disorder of the inner ear that is the most common cause of episodic ##Vertigo, a false sensation of spinning. It is a mechanical disorder where calcium carbonate crystals (otoconia), that are normally embedded in gel substance in the utricle of the inner ear , become dislodged and migrate into one of the three fluid filled semicircular Canal's. Since these fluid filled canals are designed to sense rotational movement ,the #crystals which react to gravitational pull or pull of gravity , cause the nerve endings in the canal to be more excited than normal , resulting in a mismatch of information to the brain creating Nystagmus of the eyes, which create a false sense that the room is spinning. The most common symptom is a spinning sensation of vertigo but often patients have complained of feeling like they're falling even when they're laying down or describe feeling of walking like they are drunk.
