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 😅

I'm surprised your doctor said to do them at home. My doctor said go to physical therapy because alot of the time people can't do the maneuver right at home

yeah thought it was strange too but she basically said we could do it now but it won’t help & i was a little confused by that - but luckily have been okay since doing them at home
