WHY YOU GET DIZZY — AND HOW TO STOP IT FAST

Waking up with the room spinning after you turn your head on the pillow is frightening, and a clear scan doesn't always explain it. This video looks at dizziness in older adults, including BPPV, and what the research says can help. You'll see how the brain balances three signals, how spinning dizziness differs from floaty unsteadiness, and four balance exercises often used in vestibular rehabilitation programs. What you'll learn: － How the inner ear, eyes, and body position sense work together to keep you steady － How to recognize the pattern of BPPV and why it can be missed － Other contributors to dizziness after 60, from vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels to vision and blood pressure － What persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is and how fear of movement can keep symptoms going － Four balance exercises, plus the warning signs that mean you should call 911 Bring your notes and questions to a clinician who knows your history, because dizziness often has more than one cause. 👍 If this was helpful, tap like so more people can find it. 🔔 Subscribe to the channel for more clear, evidence-based health explanations.
