Vertigo Specialist Bareilly is the main search intent for patients in Bareilly who have spinning vertigo, BPPV-like positional dizziness, imbalance, nausea with head movement, or repeated episodes that need proper evaluation.
BPPV in Bareilly: the most-missed cause of vertigo
This page focuses specifically on vertigo evaluation for Bareilly patients. By far the most common diagnosis I see is BPPV — Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo — short episodes triggered by rolling in bed, looking up, or bending forward. BPPV is mechanical: tiny calcium crystals (otoconia) sit in the wrong canal of the inner ear and send false spinning signals to the brain.
There is no medicine that fixes BPPV. The fix is a precise repositioning maneuver — Epley, Semont, Gufoni, or for the rare anterior canal variant the Bangalore Maneuver I developed and published in peer-reviewed journals. Each canal needs a different maneuver, which is why diagnosis must come before treatment.
Bareilly is in Rohilkhand, with strong Hindi-Awadhi-Urdu mix in patient speech. 190 km from Bareilly to Hardoi is about a 4 hours drive — close enough that most patients complete BPPV diagnosis and treatment in a single one-day visit.
What an online consultation gives you
An online consultation is for diagnosis, second opinion, and a clear plan. I take a careful history (the single most important step in vertigo), review any audiogram or MRI you already have, observe your eye movements during specific positions, and give you my honest opinion on the medicines and treatment you have been prescribed so far. What I cannot do over video is perform the maneuver itself, run VNG / fHIT / posturography testing, or do any procedure that needs hands on the patient.
When you must see someone in person locally in Bareilly
Online consultation works for most vertigo cases — but not all. Head to the nearest hospital in Bareilly the same day if any of the following is true:
- Sudden hearing loss in one ear, with or without vertigo — an ENT emergency. Steroids work if started within 24 to 48 hours; they do not work after two weeks.
- Vertigo with new severe headache, double vision, weakness, slurred speech, or difficulty walking — needs neurological evaluation and imaging the same day.
- Vertigo after a head injury — needs in-person assessment and imaging.
- Continuous vertigo for more than three days without let-up — could be vestibular neuritis, but other things need to be ruled out.

FAQ for Bareilly Patients
Should I do online or in-person consultation?
Start with online if you want initial diagnosis from home. If BPPV is suspected, in-person maneuver treatment gives the fastest relief. Many Bareilly patients do online first, then in-person if needed.
Can I get an urgent online consultation?
Yes. Call 7393062200 and request a video consultation. We prioritize urgent cases and can schedule within 1-2 days. You consult from your home in Bareilly.
Is online consultation as good as in-person?
Online is excellent for diagnosis and management of non-BPPV vertigo. For BPPV requiring the Epley Maneuver, in-person is superior because I need to perform specific head movements. Online can guide you initially; in-person provides definitive treatment.
What if I need in-person treatment after online consultation?
I’ll guide you through that process. We can schedule an in-person appointment, or I can provide exercises and medication management via online until you’re ready to visit. Many Bareilly patients do online first, then in-person if needed.
