Common Causes and Risk Factors of BPPV 

BPPV in Rochester, MN is a common issue we see in our clinic. It is when the calcium carbonite crystals in the inner ear get dislodged when one changes position. This confuses the brain and results in the feeling of spinning, dizziness and swaying. This feeling typically only lasts about a minute but it can be a frequent thing throughout the day. BPPV accounts for over half of the causes of vertigo. It can stem from a variety of different things but in some cases the exact reason is unknown. Some of the most common known causes and risk factors of BPPV include:

  • Head Trauma: Any kind of head injury can cause the calcium carbonite crystals dislodge.
  • Aging: As we age, the structure of our inner ears can degenerate which in turn can cause the crystals to dislodge.
  • InfectionViral infections affecting the inner ear can cause this.
  • Inner Ear Disorders: Disorders such as Meniere's disease can cause BPPV-type attacks.
