The onset of BPPV can be quite frightening for a patient. The seemingly random events of vertigo, dizziness, and nystagmus that BPPV can bring are capable of causing quite a disruption to the patient’s normal daily activities and can leave the patient with feelings of fear, confusion, and anxiety. Thankfully, for most BPPV patients the condition is relatively easy to fix and symptoms can often be halted after just a few minutes in a healthcare provider’s office.
As with most any medical condition, a patient newly diagnosed with BPPV likely has many questions. Written by a fellow BPPV sufferer, 20 Minute Primer for New Patients - BPPV provides answers to some of the most common questions that new patients may have about BPPV. Rather than anecdotal accounts or personal stories, 20 Minute Primer outlines up-to-date information from the most recent medical journals that is then summarized into an easy-to-read, concise format. Written for new BPPV patients, this short book is designed to empower those patients to have educated and informed conversations about BPPV with their medical providers.
