Can BPPV cause increase in vertigo?
human
HELLO.  I am a 44 year old female.  I love to ski but each year I get vertigo when I ski more frequently then the previous year.  I have actually thrown up on the runs and been too weak to ski down the mountain.  I also have kartageners syndrome and tend to have chronic sinusitus.  Could this be BPPV?

HIThanks for using healthcare magicBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a disorder arising in the inner ear. Its symptoms are repeated episodes of positional vertigo, that is, of a spinning sensation caused by changes in the position of the head. You have episodic vertigo and that can not be due to BPPV. In BPPV, you would have vertigo without ski also. Thanks
