Vitamin D twice a day may keep vertigo away
Taking vitamin D and calcium twice a day may reduce your chances of getting vertigo again. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo happens when a change in the head position gives you a sudden spinning sensation. Treatment includes a doctor performing a series of head movements that shift particles in the ears that cause the vertigo, but the condition tends to recur frequently. “Our study suggests that for people with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, taking a supplement of vitamin D and calcium is a simple, low-risk way to prevent vertigo from recurring,” said Ji-Soo Kim, MD, PhD, of Seoul National University College of Medicine in Korea. “It is especially effective if you have low vitamin D levels to begin with.”
