I have been suffering from BPPV for a while but I have now been diagnosed with Menieres disease, can you have both at the same time or is it vertigo that only lasts for a few seconds part of the Menieres as well as the attacks that last for over twenty minutes? Can you have both? I have been take off my cinnerzine & now have betahistine, are any of you on both?

Sorry for so many questions & thanks for reading this

    Having Meniere's disease can result in BPPV.

    According to my doc and therapist, you can have both. Bppv usually just makes me feel off the whole day. Meniers makes me vomit. I take diazyde daily and Zofran to stop the vomit.
