What is B.P.P.V?

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo 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. BPPV is the most common cause of the
symptoms of vertigo.

Id like to give a big thank you to my mentor Rob Bluhm for not only taking time out of
