Benign positional vertigo is the most common cause of vertigo. It is caused by a disturbance within the balance organs of the inner ear. The inner ear has tiny stones that move as you change position, allowing your brain to interpret your body's position and maintain your balance. In benign positional vertigo, these stones break off and float free within the semicircular canals of the inner ear. This may happen in one ear more than another, sending the brain confusing messages about your body's position. The result is vertigo.There is no way to cure it, but several medications are available to treat it, such as Bonine (Meclizine) and Dramamine (OTC). The most effective treatment is a procedure called "Epley's maneuver", which can reposition the stones inside your inner ear. There are other exercises that can readjust your response to head movements. Occasionally, medications such as antihistamines (see the medications above), anticholinergics, and sedative-hypnotics may be prescribed to reduce the symptoms of vertigo, although these are often minimally effective.
