A-Dizziness in children can have a number of different causes, ranging from a psychological disorder to a brain tumor. Don`t ever ignore dizziness in a child; it may indicate a serious underlying problem that needs treatment. You also should be aware of dizziness in a child who`s too young to have the vocabulary to describe the sensation he`s experiencing. A child may describe dizziness as a spinning feeling, or indicate that he`s feeling unsteady or light-headed. Watch, too, for other symptoms that may accompany dizziness.
The name of this disorder is derived from the fact that BPPV is Benign (not life threatening), Paroxysmal (dizziness occurs suddenly and briefly), Positional (dizziness occurs with particular head positions) and causes Vertigo (sensation of spinning). BPPV is a common cause of dizziness. About 20% of all dizziness is due to BPPV. In older people, half of the patients with dizziness may have BPPV. The symptoms can vary in each person and include dizziness or vertigo, lightheadedness, imbalance, and sometimes nausea and vomiting with head movements.
