This going to sound kind of quacky, but I have an ex-girlfriend who worked for this doctor who created a device that cured chronic vertigoo.
The gist is that some cases of vertigo are caused by a loose particle winding up in a fluid canal in the ear. He created this chair that was sort of like the device from the Lawnmower Man, the patient would get strapped in and spun around until the particle dislodged. It worked great, but was a bit too silly (and the company too poorly run) to get investors.
So… maybe just for fun, go outside and do cartwheels, tumble down a few hills like a child? Ride some roller-coasters after quar is over? Couldn’t hurt.
- xvedejas 6y agoA relative of mine had the issue you describe, and was able to fix it by sitting on her bed and quickly falling sideways, thwacking her head into a pillow. I believe this was the doctor's suggestion, and it worked to dislodge whatever was stuck there.

- raducu 6y agoVertigo only happened once for a couple of minutes and my ENT doctor told me to notify her if it hapens again. But the Epley maneuver seems better than being spun on q chair; unless the otholit is stuck, in that case, the spinning chair seem like a good idea.
- Eric_WVGG 6y agooh yeah, that was his name! Here's the chair: http://www.dr-li.net/360.html http://www.dr-li.net/360.html apparently he passed away last year, pity. Nice fellow.
- Smithalicious 6y agoThis is credible, doctors also use an exercise where you move your head rapidly in a specific way to treat vertigo.
