I have been afflicted with bad BPPV since my pacemaker battery change back in March. After two applications of god's Konami code (above procedures) to my head/neck by an ENT specialist (second one on Wednesday), I feel like I have my life back! I didn't realize that the dizziness that I was experiencing since the original pacemaker was installed back in 2016 was vertigo, and so bad that I was unable to ride a bicycle or pass a roadside field sobriety test. I almost feel confident enough to try riding my bicycle again.
Right now, I still feel dizzy when I tilt my head backwards to look up or drink the last sips from a bottle, and do feel nauseous in certain positions. FWIW, OTC Bonine helped a little while I waiting to get an ENT appointment.
The one change that I have had to make is sleeping on my back, with a rolled-up towel under my neck in place of a pillow. I am *not* a back-sleeper, but am forcing myself to become one.....
