Vertigo/BPPV

Hi, this is quite a niche area. The Epleys manoeuvre treats one lot of your ear canals. It may be that it is another canal and the manoeuvre for that is called a BBQ roll (strange name I know 😅)
https://youtube.com/watch?v=6zsfIa_Z8_k&si=9Y4SzFa5NXACrTZs shows it. It is similar to the epleys but a bit different. After any of the manoeuvres try to keep your head still like you have a neck brace on for 20 minutes and avoid things like swimming for 24 hours. Your left or right or both sides might be affected, so it may take a few different ones before you find which helps the BPPV. Initially the treatment can make symptoms feel worse but they should settle down over a day or so. With being pregnant this may be a bit tricky so check with your Dr or ask if you can be seen by a Physiotherapist who is trained in this area.

Thank you for that- Yes we’ve tried both sides and it does ease it and it comes and goes throughout the day. Feel like I’m having a good day then a bad day. It’s so frustrating x

It is so unpleasant when you get symptoms. It is fixable but sometimes takes time. Pure speculation but I wonder if anything pregnancy related may be feeding into it. Any inflammation in those canals could bring on the symptoms

the GP did mention it could be hormonal changes - so I’m hoping it is and once baby is here it disappears 🤞🏼🙏🏼 have you had it before?

No, but where I work we have people who have had it and its really not nice!

yeah I’ve never experienced anything like it before! It’s awful and stops you doing most daily things!
