[QUOTE=Lara;1177007]Hello and welcome to Neurotalk.

Epley manoeuvre can be used for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo - BPPV.


I'll leave a PDF regarding vestibular disorders that might help in figuring out whether that is what you're experiencing or not.

There is also a difference between feeling dizzy and having vertigo.

yep....THIS is what happens..
A positive Dix-Hallpike positional test provokes vertigo and nystagmus when the patient is moved from a sitting position to lying down, with the head tipped 45 degrees below the horizontal, 45 degrees to the side and with the side of the affected ear (and semicircular canal) downward. The nystagmus typically has a latency of a few seconds before onset and fatigues after approximately 30–40 seconds. The nystagmus is rotatory with the fast phase beating toward the lower ear (geotropic) and adapts with repeated testing. Optic fixation (when the eyes are fixed on a specific object) may reduce the severity of the nystagmus...
it USED to be ALL the time...now its pretty much just when I lie down and every now n then when I lean my head back
