Is BPPV something I should be worried about? I've been feeling really dizzy when I go to bed or get up, and the doctor mentioned it's BPPV. Is this a serious issue?

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is an inner ear disorder. A person with BPPV experiences a sudden spinning sensation whenever they move their head. BPPV isnt a sign of a serious problem. If it doesnt disappear on its own within six weeks, a simple in-office procedure can help ease your symptoms.Hello, Be aware of the possibility of losing your balance, which can lead to falling and serious injury.Don't work in high altitude like building construction , pilot , skydiving etc... Sit down soon when you feel dizzy , get up from the bed slowly , there is no cure but it can be manageable with therapy .
