Can looking at screens exacerbate dizziness in Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) patients?

Looking at screens can make dizziness worse for people with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). This is because screens can cause visual dizziness, which is when your eyes see fast-moving images or bright lights, and it makes your head feel dizzy.

Key Points:

• Visual Dizziness: According to the studies, screens can cause dizziness by confusing the brain with fast-moving images or bright lights.
• Age Factor: Although the studies focus on children, the same effects can happen to adults with BPPV.
• Screen Time: Too much screen time may worsen dizziness, so it’s a good idea to take breaks and look away from screens often.

These findings suggest that if you feel dizzy when looking at screens, it might help to reduce screen time and take frequent breaks.
