Monday, December 02, 2002Symptoms increased during the next week until I attended an amusement park. Since children had to be accompanied on the rollercoaster by their parents, I had to ride two rounds. Although maximum acceleration and speed was moderate (2ยท5 g and 48 km/h), the symptoms were relieved immediately and never came back. Annual visits to a rollercoaster at the Munich Oktoberfest have prevented further symptoms for the past 2 years. Benign positional vertigo is believed to be caused by debris within the labyrinthine passages of the inner ear. Theory has it that the debris gets jostled into a sensitive area with head movements and causes the dizzy sensation. One treatment is a series of head maneuvers designed to dislodge the debris. The man in this case tried that, but it wasn't as effective as the roller coaster. posted by Sydney on 12/02/2002 07:31:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
