Benign Positional Vertigo

Sydney's appointment went good today. The ENT did some tests to make sure it was nothing with her brain, and then did some Hallpike test to check her dizziness. He has come to the conclusion more or less that she has benign positional vertigo. He said this is something most common in grown women, because we are turning our heads at odd angles looking in cupboards and stuff, but that it can happen in younger girls also. He gave her some exercises to do twice a day for a week that should get rid of it. He also wants her to come back on Tuesday when the Audiologist is in to do a hearing test just to be sure it's nothing inner ear. It sounds like everything is all good though, so 2 down 1 to go!
