text: You do however, have an inflammatory process which is involving the cranial nerves..You have just mentioned 2 of them and more than one classifies it as a Migraine Syndrome. But, I am sure you will recognize these symptoms also.....ringing in the ears, balance distress, sensitivity to light, facial tenderness around the eyes and on the cheeks.. can go on with more but, you will notice there is considerable tenderness at the base of the skull on one side.\n\nBenign positional vertigo is a diagnosis of the symptom but not what is causing it..besides you have more problems than the vertigo. Would make a pretty complicated diagnosis if all the symptoms were included in that diagnosis, as is the vertigo.\n\nIf you would like more input, contact me.
