The most likely and common cause of dizziness is tightness in the neck, shoulder or jaw muscles. I am unable to post links as a new member. I can only speculate of course, but Lockdown has caused poor posture for a lot of people hunched over their computers/ lap tops/phones/books.

Keep an awareness of this computer slouching and get up and move and do stretches and even shoulder shrugs can help a lot, they do for me.

Good advice Caroline.
Even if it is not the overriding cause, I have wondered about my neck and cervical issues. Once lockdown started, I immediately began to realize how appalling my furniture is and how much time I spend leaning over a laptop. I was getting a really stiff neck. Since them, I have started to make adjustments, but maybe not enough. While not being the underlying cause, it may be that such issues represent an aggravating factor. Thanks for your advice. Paul |

Quick update:
After four days of doing the Epley maneuver and then trying the Semont maneuver for another day (as advised by a physiotherapist), the vertigo seems to have subsided. I feel relief as my PCP had been pointing towards orthostatic hypotension as the cause which is sometimes a feature of autonomic PN. Seems like it was BPPV--a benign disorder remedied by physical therapy. Paul |
