Otolithiasis and lack of vitamins are not related. Otolithiasis is mainly caused by the movement of otoliths in the semicircular canals, and it is also known clinically as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Generally, patients are prone to attacks when turning over, twisting, or turning their heads, which can cause sudden dizziness. The dizziness is described as the sensation of the world spinning and does not last more than one minute, with most cases resolving on their own.

During an episode, patients may experience significant nausea and vomiting, but there is no decrease in hearing or tinnitus. It has no relation to vitamin deficiency. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination with an electronystagmography, videonystagmography, electrocochleography, caloric tests, and glycerol tests for a definitive diagnosis.

In terms of treatment, recurrent otolithiasis needs otolith stimulation and repositioning treatments which have good effects. Additionally, after treatment, it is necessary to adjust sleep and rest, and avoid excessive physical activity to prevent recurrent episodes.
