If you have vertigo that has been diagnosed as BPPV or you suspect that is the type of vertigo you have, you may be wondering what in the world caused it and more importantly how to get rid of it.

Unfortunately We don’t always know what causes it but let’s go over the most common reasons people get BPPV.

First of all, what is it? BPPV stands for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. That’s a lot of big words so let’s break it down. Benign means it’s not harmful or serious even though it is extremely unpleasant.

Paroxysmal means a sudden attack.

Positional refers to the fact that it is related to changes in body position.

Vertigo means a false sensation of spinning.

Putting that all together describes the condition quite well, a harmless but sudden attack of spinning sensation brought on by a change in position. That harmless part could be debatable, because you could fall and injure yourself during a vertigo attack but the actual condition itself is harmless.

The spinning sensation is caused when a small crystal inside the inner ear becomes dislodged and floats through the canals of the inner ear. These are basically fluid filled tubes that help us sense movement. These crystals aren’t supposed to be there and when they float freely within the tube they cause a false sensation of movement or spinning.

Now that we know what BPPV is, the top four causes might make a little more sense.

The number one most common cause of BPPV is a blow to the head. This could range from a Mild bump to the head or could be from more serious head trauma. For some people it happens after a car accident. The sudden jarring of the head causes the calcium carbonate crystals to break free and start to move around in your inner ear canals. You wouldn’t necessarily know it at the time it happened but vertigo episodes may start to come on after a head injury.

Another cause of BPPV is age. It’s a lot more common as people get older, especially after the age of 60. This could be due to degenerative changes to the inner ear that happen naturally as we age which could make it easier for an inner ear crystal to become dislodged. People with osteoporosis may be at higher risk and that is more common in older adults but the relationship between age and BPPV is not entirely clear. It’s also important Understand that BPPV occurs in all age groups.

The 3rd cause for BPPV is having an ear or dental procedure. It’s not very common but sometimes after surgery on the ear or even just having dental work done can cause symptoms to start. Again, these are uncommon causes, it’s rare but possible.

The fourth cause for BPPV is a viral infection. This one may actually be pretty common. Viruses can affect the inner ear, Causing changes in fluids and pressures and stirring up inflammation which may cause the inner ear particles to come loose. A study compared almost 500 people who had BPPV with those who didn’t. They tested for 8 different kinds of viruses and found that the BPPV group had higher levels of all but two of the viruses they tested for which shows a strong connection.

Some other factors can be involved in developing BPPV, they may not be causes but will likely make you more susceptible. People who suffer migraines are more likely to get BPPV. Females and diabetics are also more likely to get BPPV. It’s not really well understood as to why but that is what the data shows. You probably can’t just stop being female or having migraines but you can do your best to manage your diabetes if you have it., which would likely help reduce your risk.
