Cayla-

I'm four months post accident and have what the PT has termed persistent BPPV (benign paroxysml persistent vertigo). Basically-the spins. It does have to do with the inner ear and particulates being displaced. There are several manuevers that can be done to "cure" this. I'm just a hard head (so to speak) and haven't had any luck with the typical stuff. It has lessened greatly since I was rear-ended, but still having issues every day. Looking straight up, straight down, and rolling over in bed bring on the spins. Talk to your DR about what sounds like a case of vertigo brought on by your accident. Hope this straightens out very quickly for you-it's not pleasant.
