Does anyone suffer from Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)?

Epley is tricky enough to do (properly), i'm not sure many GPs would regularly do it tbh. They would be more likely to bounce you to an ENT outpatient clinic
you could have a crack at making yourself feel worse if it is BPPV using the Hallpike test :)
 
one of the directors at work has had something similar, he's been off work for over 6 months. apparently he couldn't walk without falling over and it has been something to do with his inner ear.

on a related note, i was once full of cold and attempting to play football. every time the ball went in the air and I looked up, if i tried run I'd fall over. every time. got a bit ridiculous and I played really badly.
 
I haven't had this but I once experienced vertigo while diving, I was coming up and one of my ears must have been slightly blocked at depth then released as I came up. All of a sudden everything was spinning madly, even though I could see which way was up I was completely disoriented, it only lasted a couple of seconds I couldn't imagine having to deal with something like that for any longer.
 
Nope, but I have inner ear damage thanks to labyrinths, Makes me feel like im moving when I'm not, which can make me feel woozy. Not so much spinning, more bobbing up and down and forwards and backwards.

Feels like real-life interp problems.
