We sought to understand the impact of severe vitamin D deficiency on benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a common cause of dizziness. Previous studies showed a connection between low vitamin D levels and both the onset and recurrence of BPPV, but none had conclusively demonstrated that addressing this deficiency could lessen the recurrence of symptoms.
To examine this further, we included patients diagnosed with unilateral, idiopathic posterior canal BPPV and severe vitamin D deficiency, indicated by levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 at or below 10 ng/ml. After thorough evaluations including hearing tests and balance assessments, we prescribed vitamin D therapy to our participants.
Over the following months, we monitored the changes in their vitamin D levels and followed up with them for 18 months to observe any recurrence of dizziness. Our findings revealed that patients who showed an improvement in their vitamin D levels experienced a significant reduction in the recurrence of BPPV symptoms.
This suggests that by addressing vitamin D deficiency, we can potentially offer a more effective approach to managing BPPV—lessening those troublesome dizzy spells that can really impact quality of life.

We observed a unique case of a 35-year-old woman experiencing non-traumatic multicanal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Initially diagnosed with unilateral posterior canal BPPV, her condition evolved to include both horizontal and anterior canals over time.
Throughout 2012 to 2014, conventional treatments fell short in resolving her symptoms, despite her undergoing canalith repositioning treatments (CRTs). Remarkably, in 2015, we noted a correlation between her self-treatment of vitamin D—at a dose of 5000 IU daily—and the subsequent resolution of her vertigo symptoms.
This case stands out not just because of the uncommon progression from single-canal to multi-canal BPPV, but also highlights the potential role of vitamin D in symptom management. It suggests that vitamin D might offer benefits for those suffering from dizziness related to vertigo, particularly in cases where traditional treatments are ineffective.

We explored the connection between serum vitamin D levels and the recurrence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a leading cause of dizziness. In this study, we reviewed the medical charts of 50 patients diagnosed with BPPV, focusing on two distinct groups: those who experienced recurring episodes and those who did not.
Our findings revealed that the average serum vitamin D level in patients who had recurring BPPV was significantly lower (12.9 ng/mL) compared to those without recurrences (19.2 ng/mL). This suggests that lower vitamin D levels might be linked to a higher chance of dizziness from BPPV recurrences.
We also identified that a vitamin D level below 12.74 ng/mL was associated with a significantly higher recurrence rate of 70.5%, compared to just 22.5% for those above this threshold. This indicates that monitoring and managing vitamin D levels could be crucial for patients at risk for recurring episodes of BPPV.
In summary, our findings underline the potential importance of vitamin D in managing dizziness, particularly in individuals suffering from BPPV. It seems that keeping an adequate level of this vitamin might help reduce the risk of future vertigo episodes.

Dizziness alleviated
Good drug. My family and I have been taking these vitamins for two months. Although we are due for repeat tests soon, my health feels normal now and the dizziness has disappeared, along with any associated pain.

We explored the connection between vitamin D deficiency and dizziness following a successful left-sided stapedotomy. In our case study, a 56-year-old woman who underwent the stapedotomy for otosclerosis experienced postoperative dizziness a week later. Interestingly, this dizziness occurred mainly when she turned to her left side while lying in bed.
To understand her condition better, we conducted an electrophysiological assessment of her vestibular function, which revealed a typical response associated with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Notably, we found that the patient had a deficiency in vitamin D levels in her serum.
After a 7-day treatment using Epley's maneuver, which is a common approach for BPPV, the patient's symptoms resolved completely. This highlights the importance of recognizing BPPV as a potential complication after stapes surgery, especially when vitamin D levels are low.
Our findings suggest that monitoring serum levels of total calcium and vitamin D could be crucial not only for understanding dizziness but also in preventing its recurrence after such surgeries.

We explored how normalization of vitamin D levels may impact the recurrence of dizziness caused by benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). This case-control study included patients with a history of BPPV who had low serum vitamin D levels. We divided participants into two groups: one received additional vitamin D3, while both groups underwent Epley rehabilitation therapy.
Over the course of two months, the treatment group raised their vitamin D levels significantly, while the control group did not see any change. Following this treatment period, we observed a remarkable difference in the recurrence of BPPV attacks; the group receiving vitamin D3 experienced far fewer episodes compared to the control group.
Our results indicate that boosting vitamin D3 levels significantly reduces the number of recurrent dizziness episodes in patients with BPPV. This suggests that addressing vitamin D deficiency may play a key role in managing dizziness in affected patients.

We investigated how Vitamin D levels impact dizziness, specifically in individuals with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). This condition causes sudden episodes of vertigo, often triggered by changes in head position.
In our study, we enrolled 100 patients diagnosed with BPPV and measured their Vitamin D levels. Based on these measurements, we classified participants as having deficient, insufficient, or sufficient Vitamin D levels. Those with deficiencies received Vitamin D supplementation of 2000 IU daily for six months.
Over the course of a year, we followed these patients monthly, monitoring both the frequency and severity of their BPPV episodes using the Vertigo Symptom Scale. Our findings were quite significant: those with Vitamin D deficiency experienced BPPV at a rate of 71%, compared to only 20% in those who had sufficient Vitamin D levels. Moreover, the severity of vertigo symptoms was notably higher in the deficient group.
Importantly, we observed that supplementation appeared to reduce both the incidence and severity of BPPV episodes over time. This highlights the potential role of Vitamin D in supporting vestibular health and suggests it may be a valuable component of managing BPPV. However, further controlled studies are needed to fully understand these connections and their implications for patient care.
