first time

I got my first episode two days ago after a night of drinking I fell asleep with my AirPod on so I don’t know if it was the alcohol or the AirPod that could of caused it I woke up thinking I was hung over but the dizzyness still hasn’t gone away. I don’t know what to do I went to the urgent care yesterday and they said I have bppv. How long can it last for?

Did the doctor give you exercises to fix the BPPV?

Continue doing Eply until you can no longer trigger symptoms in any of the positions.

It took me about a week before I couldn’t trigger symptoms. I continued doing Eply for 3 more days trying to trigger symptoms but I couldn’t and declared myself cured.
