BPPV

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is an inner ear disorder.

BPPV causes repeated, brief periods of vertigo with movements such as turning in bed or changing position. N&V are common.

Diagnosis can be made with the Dix–Hallpike test and BPPV can be treated with the Epley manoeuvre.
