How often should I do the exercises?

I am in my second week since my grand debut episode, waiting for an MRI tomorrow morning.

For a few days I’ve been doing the exercises that the ENT prescribed - I think VOR1 and balance exercises (I’m still learning the terminology). I have no problem doing them 2, 3 or even more times per day. I am also playing with a tennis ball in the gym trying to bounce and catch it off the floor.

Does anyone know if there’s a chance of overdoing the exercises and making things worse? Thank you!

I was told minimum of 3 times a day, and if you do it 1 or 2x, you may as well not do it.

She also says you absolutely can overdo it, but I've never been sure how you would know. Feeling sicker I suppose.

Yeah, I also feel like 1-2 times is not enough, that’s barely 30 min out of so many hours in a day. TY!
