Ever notice vertigo flares up more in winter? ❄️😵💫
Here’s why BPPV (benign positional vertigo) is more common this time of year:
• Dry indoor heat → sneaky dehydration
• Dehydration changes inner ear fluid
• Ear crystals (otoconia) can dislodge more easily
• Less movement + more time lying down
• Lower Vitamin D from less sunlight
• Winter illnesses can inflame the inner ear
💧 Hydrate (even if you’re not thirsty)
🏃♀️ Keep moving
🌬️ Use a humidifier
☀️ Check Vitamin D levels
⚠️ If spinning lasts
