Can young people get otolithiasis?
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) can occur in anyone, regardless of time or age. There are many causes of BPPV, which are generally related to staying up late, fatigue, poor rest, and high mental stress. It can suddenly cause dizziness, usually triggered when turning over or twisting the head. It is clinically known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
During an episode, patients may experience severe dizziness, along with severe nausea and vomiting, but there is no hearing loss or tinnitus. The duration of dizziness does not exceed one minute and often resolves on its own.
If dizziness recurs, it is necessary to visit a hospital for detailed examinations like electronystagmography, caloric tests, and glycerol tests for diagnosis. For treatment, BPPV requires provocatory and repositioning maneuvers to gradually improve. Regular physical exercise can also help prevent recurrent episodes.
