Suffer stubborn Vertigo? Here’s Why

You get treatment for your vertigo, thinking it’s finally gone for good.

But weeks later, you still feel off-balance, lightheaded, or just… weird.

What’s going on?

A new study in the Ear, Nose & Throat Journal reveals why vertigo can linger long after treatment — and the four things that make it worse.

And more importantly, how to get rid of it for good.

Researchers followed 193 people treated for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)—the most common form of vertigo.

They tracked who fully recovered and who still had symptoms four weeks later.

● 37% of patients still had lingering dizziness after treatment.

● The most common symptoms were:
○ Feeling dizzy (58%)
○ Feeling unsteady (32%)
○ A pulling sensation in the head/neck (19%)

● The longer people waited to get help, the worse their recovery was.

● Higher anxiety = more dizziness. Stress and vertigo create a nasty feedback loop.

● Poor sleepers struggled more. The worse their sleep was before treatment, the harder it was to recover.

And here’s the kicker…

Vertigo itself can cause stress and sleep issues, which then make it last longer.
It’s like a vicious cycle that traps you in dizziness.

So, what can you do?

1. Get treated early. The longer you wait, the harder it is to recover.

2. Keep anxiety in check. Deep breathing, meditation, or even just not stressing over every dizzy spell can help.

3. Fix your sleep. A dark, quiet room and a consistent bedtime can help reset your system.

4. Learn vertigo exercises at home. They’re easy, and they work—if you know what to do.

The good news… even if you suffer from the most stubborn vertigo, you can eliminate it in days… sometimes minutes.
