Vertigo can feel like the world is spinning out of control, but the cause is often a tiny physical displacement within your inner ear. Known as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), this condition occurs when microscopic calcium carbonate crystals (otoliths) become dislodged and float into the semicircular canals, sending false balance signals to your brain.
While it feels overwhelming, understanding why these crystals dislodge and how to manage them can help you regain your balance.
Why Do the Crystals Dislodge?
Several factors can cause these “inner ear stones” to break free:
- Head Trauma: A fall, impact, or even a sudden jarring movement.
- The Aging Process: As we age, the structures holding the crystals in place naturally become more fragile.
- ENT Infections: Viral or bacterial infections can disrupt the fluid balance of the inner ear.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Specifically, imbalances in how your body processes calcium and Vitamin D.
