Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) causes a spinning feeling because it affects the inner ear, which helps control balance and movement.
BPPV is a condition that affects the inner ear, which is crucial for balance and sensing motion. When you have BPPV, tiny crystals in your ear can become dislodged and move into parts of the ear where they don't belong. This can send confusing signals to your brain, making you feel like you're spinning or moving, even when you're not.
Understanding BPPV can help you manage its symptoms better. If you experience persistent dizziness, you should consult a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation.
