Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)

Just in case your doctor immediately used Occams' Razor to blame your stroke for your dizziness.

A case study here;
“I was dizzy for over ten years…”
“I was dizzy for over ten years…”
“I was dizzy for over ten years…”

  1. Ugh...the dreaded bppv bogus dx....This was what the first moron Neuro dx me with. I did the exercises like crazy while they wasted time telling me there was "nothing wrong", until I finally got them to order an MRI and surprise!!! I had a giant bleeding mass in the middle of my brain. No amount of exercises was going to "cure" my dizziness...it just got worse and worse while my angioma grew and bled.
