Retiree, 68 Room spinning when rolling in bed 4 weeks
Positional testing confirmed benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in the right ear. We performed the Epley maneuver in clinic and taught gaze stabilization exercises to retrain eye head coordination during daily head movements.
Room spinning when rolling in bed stopped after the second visit. She maintained gains with ten minutes of daily homework and had no recurrence at three month follow up. She feels confident driving and grocery shopping again.
