description The vestibular organ is involved in controlling blood pressure through vestibulosympathetic reflexes of the autonomic nervous system. This study aimed to investigate the effect of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) on blood pressure control by the autonomic nervous system by observing changes in blood pressure before and after BPPV treatment using the head-up tilt test (HUTT). A total of 278 patients who underwent the HUTT before and after treatment were included. The HUTT measured blood pressure repeatedly on the day of diagnosis and the day of complete recovery, and the results were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance. Regarding the difference in the systolic blood pressure of patients with BPPV, the blood pressure at 1, 2, and 3 min in the upright position after complete recovery was significantly lower than before treatment (<i>p</i> = 0.001, <i>p</i> = 0.001, and <i>p</i> = 0.012, respectively). Blood pressure at 1 and 2 min in the diastolic blood pressure of patients with BPPV in the upright position after complete recovery was significantly lower than before treatment (<i>p</i> = 0.001 and <i>p</i> = 0.034, respectively). This study shows that BPPV increases blood pressure during the initial response to standing in the HUTT.
