Dizzy And Headache. Feel Crystal In Ear, Making Imbalance. What Crystal He Referred To?
my husband felt very sick this morning, feeling dizzy and headache . Even when he lies on the bed and turns his position, he feels his head spinning. Then we called a in-house doctor to exam him. He said my husband s ears developed some kind of crystal which make him imbalance and dizzy. Once the crystal moves somewhere, he will feel fine again...We actually had no idea what crystal he referred to.

Hi Mam,
I had gone through your query.
It suggests that your husband suffering from the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
For your kind information -Within the labyrinth of the inner ear lie collections of calcium crystals known as otoconia or otoliths.
In patients with BPPV, the otoconia are dislodged from their usual position within the utricle and migrate over time into one of the semicircular canals.
If you have any doubt, I will be available for your query.
