Vertigo, particularly benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), is a common issue that can cause dizziness and imbalance. It occurs when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear become dislodged. Simple exercises like the Epley and Semont maneuvers can help reposition these crystals and alleviate symptoms. Always consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Vertigo is a sensation of disequilibrium caused by impaired function of the balance mechanism in the ear. There are various causes of vertigo, some more readily treatable than others. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is caused by small crystals of calcium in the semicircular canals sending false or distorted messages to the brain. Serous otitis media is caused by the accumulation of fluid behind the eardrum due to blockage of the Eustachian tube. The "pinch and blow" Valsalva manoeuvre can alleviate this condition.
