Brief Answer:
As below:
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) is very common at her age, accounting for 20-40% of peripheral vertigo.
2. I am assuming that her diagnosis is established beyond doubt.
3. In BPPV, treatment includes the Brandt-Daroff exercises, Semont's Maneuver, Epley's maneuver and these usually suffice, Medication is not necessary.
4. If she cannot do these liberatory maneuvers, other aids such as the DizzyFix and the Omniax are available.
5. Any ENT Specialist with a Vertigo Clinic will be able to re-confirm the diagnosis and treat BPPV effectively.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any follow up queries, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
