Question
My grandma has vertigo and has had it for several years. We can't find a doctor in our area and she needs help. What can we do?

Answer
Dear Chris:

YOur grandma may likely have postional vertigo or BPPV (benign positional paroxysmal vertigo). The is often triggered by head movement, lying down, turning over in bed.

Fortunately there is a curative exercise.
