Benign positional vertigo is a relatively common ENT disease. It is advised not to sleep on the affected side, as this may trigger an acute episode of the condition, leading to temporary dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Some patients may also experience palpitations, increased blood pressure, and accelerated heart rate. Most patients need to visit an ENT department after the onset, where a repositioning test can be conducted to identify the specific location of the lesion in the semicircular canals. Once identified, targeted manual repositioning treatment can be administered. After this treatment, the condition generally improves gradually.
