   What is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo?

   • Sometimes it occurs for no apparent reason. The main symptom of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is vertigo itself. The vertigo lasts just a short time - typically just for 20-30 seconds and usually no longer than a minute. It then goes away completely if you keep your head still. The vertigo is usually triggered by a change in head position.
