Dizziness and vertigo, with the manoeuvres

Dizziness and vertigo, with the manoeuvres: this guide covers sorted the way clinicians actually sort it: spinning, about to faint, unsteady, or foggy —…

This guide is general education, not a diagnosis or an individual treatment plan. Urgent, severe or worsening symptoms belong with the local emergency service or a qualified clinician.

What this guide covers

This guide covers sorted the way clinicians actually sort it: spinning, about to faint, unsteady, or foggy — because the four mean different things.

Then BPPV, which is the commonest and the most fixable, with the Epley and Semont manoeuvres illustrated step by step from the published guideline (the single most useful thing on the site for a person who woke up spinning), vestibular neuritis and its recovery timeline, Meniere, vestibular migraine, orthostatic drop and how to measure it at home, cervicogenic claims graded, dizziness from medicines, motion sickness, and the red-flag page: sudden vertigo with double vision, slurred speech, weakness or a new severe headache is a stroke assessment, not an Epley.

One focused section asks: "The Epley manoeuvre, step by step".

How to use it

Start with the description that most closely matches your question about Dizziness and vertigo, with the manoeuvres. Use the evidence section to understand what is known, then use the boundary section to decide when self-education should stop and clinical care should begin.

The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.

Search vocabulary in four languages

Terminology changes across borders. These are example phrases people use for the same subject in Estonian, Finnish, Russian and English; they are included as a practical vocabulary aid, not as hidden keywords.

Evidence and provenance

The evidence map below records the primary, official or openly licensed material chosen for this guide. It is deliberately visible so a reader can tell the difference between a rule published by an authority, a measured dataset and an editorial explanation.

Source: Barany Society International Classification of Vestibular Disorders criteria (J Vestib Res, published), AAO-HNS clinical practice guideline for BPPV update 2017 (open access), published HINTS literature for the stroke boundary only. · checked 2026-09-09

Source names are preserved even where an authority changes its web address. No figure is added to this launch page unless it is already present in the cited source description or can be computed from a named dataset.

Scope and boundaries

/ears is the ear as an infected, blocked organ; this is the balance organ inside it and the manoeuvres that reset it.
