What is persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD)?
Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (pronounced “3-P-D”) is a chronic (long-term) condition that causes frequent dizziness — so much so that it interferes with your quality of life. It typically occurs after a triggering event of acute (short-term) dizziness, vertigo or imbalance.
The words that make up PPPD may help explain what’s involved:
  • Persistent: You feel dizzy most days for at least three months.
  • Postural: The dizziness worsens when you’re in an upright position (sitting or standing).
  • Perceptual: You feel dizzy because you perceive yourself or your surroundings as off-balance.
  • Dizziness: The dizziness may feel like swaying or rocking (but not spinning, as in vertigo).

When your balance system is working as it should, its parts (including your eyes, muscles, inner ear and brain) coordinate to help you stay balanced within your surroundings. The process is automatic.

But with PPPD, there’s a communication breakdown within the system. Although there’s nothing physically wrong with the individual parts, they’re no longer “syncing up.” As a result, you feel unsteady on your feet.

What are the symptoms of PPPD?
With PPPD, you’re dizzy more days than you’re not dizzy. The dizziness may last for several hours at a time and worsen as the day progresses, or it may come and go unpredictably.

Dizziness from PPPD feels like swaying or unsteadiness, as if you’re on a boat being rocked by waves. It can occur without any triggers, but it may worsen when:
  • You stand, sit upright or change positions.
  • You’re moving (walking) or in a vehicle that’s moving (like a car, train or bus).
  • You’re taking in a lot of visual information (like scanning the grocery store aisles or scrolling on your phone).

Other PPPD symptoms include:
  • Brain fog (having trouble thinking and focusing in general).
  • Short-term memory loss.
  • Trouble concentrating.

The experience of PPPD may make you feel detached from your body, environment and others. It may cause you to avoid situations or activities you worry may worsen the dizziness.

What causes PPPD?
PPPD usually starts after a “triggering” event, especially an episode or injury that causes a balance issue.

Triggers of PPPD include:
  • Acute vertigo.
  • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
  • Head injury (like a concussion).
  • Ménière’s disease.
  • Panic attack.
  • Stroke.
  • Vestibular migraine.
  • Vestibular neuritis.
With PPPD, your body remembers feeling off-balance even after the event passes.

Although you don’t mean to, you remain hyperaware of things that affect balance, like your posture and surroundings. The heightened awareness often leads to anxiety.

Instead of helping, the hyperawareness prevents your brain from processing sensory information from your eyes, muscles and inner ear so you feel steady on your feet. Experts suggest that your brain relies too much on sensory inputs you’re more aware of, like what you see and how you’re positioning your body. Meanwhile, it relies too little on information you’re less aware of, like information about subtle movements you get from your inner ear (vestibular system). As a result, you experience symptoms.

It’s frustrating. The hyperawareness in PPPD is as automatic as maintaining balance is for a person without PPPD.

Yes there are many rules in Liverpool. Ahem...

There is a jedi quarter, and wools are from the surrounding area of Liverpool proper. If you are born Scouse you are always a Scouser, but you can never become one through emmigration, nor through marriage, purchasing (or designation of) a purple rubbish bin. You may well be woolly-jedi, but not every jedi is a wool.

"if I don't know the story, I don't know the story"

The internet allows you to research s you don't know about. It doesn't make you an expert in that topic, but you can glean a fundamental understanding very quickly. I'd advise one of Angela's inner-suppositories teaching her how to use the internet for educational purposes rather than purely toxic bullying rage baiting bullshit purposes.

I've learnt of so many different delicacys reading here, and while I find some confusing I hope they bring copious joy to the consumers.


Apart from Angie I hope everything she eats tastes of used silica cat litter.
💯 I do like hearing about the different food, I won't lie. As long as they enjoy the smelliest food away from me (like fartssprouts), then we're all good. 🤣 And if anyone would like to give me their roast potatoes in exchange for any sprouts some asshole attempts to feed me - you've got a deal. 👍
 
I’m gonna say it if no one else will, I don’t have any problem with it personally, but others might love. I think a lot of people might have seen you in Snells live tonight. Go careful x
That was the first live I've been in, in days I've always said I like Snel. I asked Snel if she was ok she was very angry with a situation and didn't respond. Candice spoke to me in the comments she is lovely and then so did tink briefly. I'm not associated with their situation in the slightest I simply went to ask if Snel was ok maybe it was the wrong timing and then I seen pearl ect in the comments so I left and watched Angie.
