What is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)?
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a common cause of vertigo, which is a sensation of spinning or dizziness. It occurs when small calcium particles called canaliths clump up in the semicircular canals of the inner ear. This condition can cause brief episodes of dizziness, particularly when changing the position of the head.
