There are tiny grains/crystals that are suppose to be in a certain spot in the ear. If they get out of that spot it causes much dizziness. My Mom had this. She said it even felt as if she was falling when she was lying down! The regular doctor gave her some pills for that but it didn't help, so he sent her to an eyes, ears, nose, throat specialist. He had Mom lie on his table and then he quickly turned her head in 2 directions. The dizziness immediately went away. When Mom told them this even they were surprised it had worked so fast, because it was something brand new they had just learned. Lol There are directions on the web that show you how to do the head turns. The quick turning puts the crystals back into their proper place. Once there--no more dizziness. I forget exactly what this procedure is called, as it was many years ago that Mom had it done.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Well, learn something new every day. Thanks Jane. I'll keep this for when the question gets asked again. It pops up every so often, and I have heard several people say the head movements helped them. Never heard anyone say, before though, that it was due to age and infection.
