You lie down in bed or turn your head and suddenly the entire room starts to spin rapidly? This brief, extremely intense spinning sensation is the typical sign of vertigo. Benign storage delusions (BPLS).
BPLS is classically triggered by five very specific movements:
- Laying down: The dizziness sets in as soon as the upper body sinks into the mattress.
- Standing up: When you get up from the lying position, the world starts to spin again.
- Rotating in bed: Turning from one side to the other in bed triggers the attack.
- Head far back: Raising the gaze to the ceiling or working with your head raised triggers the rotation dizziness immediately.
- Head far forward: Preventing it, for example by tying shoes, leads to the same reaction.
- Typical duration: The rotational dizziness is very intense, but it usually lasts only 10 to 20, 30, or a maximum of 40 seconds.
The trigger is small crystals (otoliths) that have dissolved in the inner ear and move through the canal during these head movements. The good news: With targeted maneuvers, the problem can usually be resolved in no time!
