The benign paroxystic positional peak, also called a postural peak, is the most common type of summit, especially in the elderly, and is characterized by the appearance of mares at times such as getting out of bed, turning around in bed while watching quickly there was a cliff.
At the top, small calcium crystals inside the internal oxide disperse, float and place the the wrong place, causing the feeling that the world is collapsing, causing an imbalance, however, the use of a special maneuver could be enough to heal the tides definitively, placing these crystals back in place, permanently eliminating the top.
- The main symptom is the swivel cap.
- The same type of tones and the feeling that everything gives way to your environment by performing fast or sudden movements such as:.
The sea sensation is usually fast and lasts less than a minute, but in some cases it can last several weeks or months, impairing day-to-day activities.
Some people can identify which side, when turning their heads, is able to cause the sea. Diagnosis is made by the FAMILY doctor, neurologist and in the case of the elderly by the geriatrician, in addition to the implementation of certain techniques in the office that cause symptoms, if another scan is necessary.
Treatment should be indicated by your doctor and usually includes physical therapy, where specific maneuvers are performed to return calcium crystals to internal oxide.
The manoeuvre should be performed depending on the side on which internal oxide is affected and where the crystals are placed in the anterior, lateral and posterior semicircular channel. 80% of the time the crystals are placed in the posterior semicircular channel, and Epley’s maneuver, which involves extending the head backwards, followed by lateralization and rotation of the head, may be enough to immediately end the vertex. Discover step by step how to perform this technique.
The mandiobra is done only once, but sometimes it is necessary to repeat the treatment with the same mandiobra 1 week after 15 days, but to perform this maneuver alone, once you have a 90% chance of improving this type of vertices.
Medication is not always necessary, but your doctor may indicate labyrinthine sedatives and, in very rare cases, this may indicate the completion of surgery, using the latter only in cases where there are no symptoms of maneuvers and medication, being a risky practice that can damage rust.
