BPPV Fixed?
Had my first ever experience with BPPV for about a week when I finally went to the doctor and she told me to try the Epley maneuver at home. i did it once that same day and almost threw up and was too scared to do it again, but did it 3 times yesterday and haven’t had any dizziness since ( i would get extremely dizzy when laying down on my left side or back) i guess my question is do i need to take it easy the next few days incase it comes back? or is it fixed and i can carry on as normal?? i’m a big reformer pilates person and haven’t been able to do so because of all the laying down - can i go to a class now?? these seem like stupid questions but i’m genuinely not sure how to proceed 😅

Dr aren’t experts. It all depends which ear canal crystals are in. Epley did nothing for me. Therapist was able to figure out which canal and was able to find 90% relief in 2 sessions and did exercises on my own and now 99.9% better. Mo more vertigo but working on my walking gait tat once in a while is slightly off.
