Suggest remedy for vertigo
Patient: I was diagnosed with bppv by my doctor a few months ago. He suggested the Epley manuever but I was unable to do it because it caused pain in my neck to worsen. A chiropractor illiminated the pain in my neck and it helped the vertigo for a liitle while but now the vertigo is 24/7. I am taking Vertifree but it doesn t seem to be helping it caused my dizziness to get worse and caused a mild headache. The company told me to reduce the dosage.but that has not worked either. I also have Mitral Valve prolapse and I am 57 yrs old. Doctor: Hello and welcome to " Ask a Doctor" service.I have read your query and here is my advice.If the neck pain is improved, you should have the Epley maneuver done.Discuss with your Doctor who suggested it.Hope this helps.Feel free to ask if you have further questions.
