BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) vertigo causes an eyeball twitch known as nystagmus. Depending on the nystagmus orientation, the appropriate maneuver to treat the BPPV varies.
Do keep in mind that if nystagmus is absent (but you are dizzy)... or if the nystagmus persists even when totally still for more than 10 minutes, you do NOT have BPPV and some other cause for dizziness must be pursued.
