Vertigo Caused By This Vitamin Deficiency

If you are prone to vertigo, with this condition occurring every few months, then a study in the journal Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology may have the answer.

Apparently, if you lack one common type of vitamin, it increases chronic vertigo risk by 50%.

The best part is that this vitamin is dirt cheap, and you can get it almost everywhere.

In this study, the subjects were patients who had been diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) between June 2014 and April 2016.

Each subject was observed for at least 24 months following the first diagnosis to see whether their vertigo would return.

Their Vitamin D levels were also measured at the beginning and the end of the study.

To backtrack for a second, remember that benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is caused by small calcium crystals that have fallen into the semicircular canals inside your inner ear, where they irritate the nerve hairs that send balance information to your brain.

Typical treatment involves head movements to move these crystals out of these semicircular canals so that they will stop interfering with your balance.

After performing a range of statistical tests, the researchers found that patients with low Vitamin D levels in their blood had an 18% greater chance of their vertigo re-occurring after 12 months. After 24 months, there was a 50% greater chance of recurrence than among those whose Vitamin D levels were normal.

You can obtain Vitamin D from various types of food, supplements, or directly from the sun.
