People are frequently asking about the difference between BPPV and vestibular migraine (VM), so we’re getting into that on this episode! Aside from them both causing nystagmus (involuntary eye movement), these are not even a little bit the same thing. But vestibular migraine can cause nystagmus which can present identically to BPPV—and that can be really confusing for providers and patients alike! So… let’s explore how you can determine what’s what and what the appropriate treatment options are for each. In this episode, we’ll dig into: The difference between BPPV and vestibular migraine The one similarity between BPPV and vestibular migraine The role the inner ear crystals play in BPPV What the Epley maneuver can be used to treat How vestibular migraine can cause positional vertigo How to treat BPPV vs vestibular migraine It’s critical to land on the correct diagnosis in order to know which treatment path to choose. The best way to tell what you’re dealing with is to work with a physical therapist because in science, we find that they're the best people to diagnose. And remember, it is possible to have more than one vestibular disorder and to not feel dizzy everyday. If you’re in the holiday challenge and listening today, please send me a DM for extra credit.

PPPD (AKA: persistent postural perceptual dizziness) is a chronic form of dizziness which is very manageable. But everyone wants to know “is there a cure for PPPD?”  To get to that answer, we’ve got to go all the way back to the beginning to uncover why PPPD is happening in the first place. Because PPPD is always caused by another underlying diagnosis. It’s both under and overly diagnosed—and this episode is built to be a resource for you. So you can finally feel empowered to understand what’s going on and what to do about it next. In this episode, we’ll dig into: What persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is What symptoms are mistakenly associated with PPPD What generally makes PPPD better or worse Places and events that are more challenging with PPPD What usually triggers PPPD How PPPD is diagnosed Personality types that are more likely to have PPPD Why dizziness and anxiety are so closely linked If there is a cure for PPPD What the Wheel of Management is The best treatment options for PPPD You do not need to be dizzy everyday for the rest of your life. PPPD is treatable, but you need a treatment plan that works for you.  A great place to start is VGF!
