Benign Positional Vertigo: An Essential Guide to Coping With and Treating BPPV Paperback – March 8, 2015

.The author left out a very common cause of positional vertigo which is dehydration.When you start drinking enough water don't expect instant results it takes a little time to rehydrate.I gave the book three stars because the author obviously knew something about other possible causes of vertigo.Other symptoms I had were dry mouth,stuffy nose.The stuffy nose may have been due to allergies.

I found this quite helpful, in particular the exercises. It would have been so beneficial had I known about all the exercises earlier.

It was just recently that I heard from a doctor on TV about this problem and how it shouldn’t be overlooked. After that, I decided to search for a book to inform myself more about it. I was surprised with how little I actually knew. There’s a vast difference between what we think we know about vertigo and what it truly is.This book was able to bring out the various important, yet little-known facts about benign positional vertigo, starting from, of course, noticing the problem, giving suggestions and instructions on coping with it and treating it, which is just what I was hoping to read in this book.I recommend it to anyone who’s interested into knowing more about this widespread problem, as it’ll make you a lot more informed on it than, unfortunately, most people are at the moment.

Not much to this book, so don't buy the paperback, buy the Kindle edition. Basics are covered with no illustrations. Much of the information is available on any BPPV site on the web. Skip the purchase.

I expected a more scientific discussion and more detail on causes, and wanted more current scientific and effective options for dealing with or preventing BPV episodes.

Excellent read. Also a quick read but has all the necessary info you need. I like the step by step maneuvers. After having a severe episode of Vertigo an violent vomitting, I ended up the the ER. After a CT, replacement of liquids and observation because of having an intravenus drip containing valium because the vertigo was so severe, medication to stop the nausea and medication to stop the spinning, I was released 8 hours later. Two days later I saw a head and neck trauma nurse and The Epley maneuver was applied, I am feeling much better.

Good basic information

Having had an episode recently, I found this book very helpful, and actually it calmed my fears on vertigo. The book has some excellent exercises to prevent future episodes as well. The key is to get your Doctor to actually diagnose BPV, and to make sure the vertigo is not being caused by some other issue or condition. Those ear crystals can create havoc as we age.

Disappointing product, blank pages, more of a leaflet than a book. Not very informative at all.

Not helpful. You can get better adivce from groups on Facebook

Very compact and concise with a very high level of clarity and practical suggestions. I recommend this book to anyone who has vertigo
