Ongoing Care After BPPV: Comprehensive Management

At VertigoCare Concierge, our primary focus is on the effective and timely diagnosis and treatment of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). However, the journey to complete recovery often extends beyond the initial treatment of BPPV.

Residual Symptoms Post-BPPV

After an episode of BPPV, many patients experience residual symptoms that can impact their daily lives. These may include:

• Balance Issues: Even after the vertigo resolves, patients may still feel unsteady or off-balance.

• Dizziness: Persistent dizziness or lightheadedness can linger, affecting your ability to perform everyday tasks.

• Headaches: Frequent headaches may occur due to the strain and stress experienced during vertigo episodes.

• Neck Pain: Increased muscle guarding, where muscles remain tense to protect the neck, can lead to significant discomfort and pain.

• Anxiety: The fear of vertigo returning can cause heightened anxiety, further exacerbating physical symptoms and leading to a protective phase where movements are overly cautious.

Importance of Physician Follow-Up

Given these potential residual symptoms, a follow-up with your physician is strongly advised. Continuous monitoring and additional treatment may be necessary to ensure comprehensive recovery. Your physician can assess any ongoing issues and recommend further interventions as needed.
