I feel for you paramount. I had my first episode of BPPV in 2003, the day before leaving for an overseas vacation, and the day after a 22 mile bike ride. I think my head position triggered the BPPV. Obviously I did not get on the plane, I had enough of a challenge just trying not to vomit on the doctor my husband rushed me to! The doctor actually had to inject me with an anti-nausea med so he could examine me. That episode was the worst and I didn’t feel decent for a month. When I first had BPPV with every attack I subdued the symptoms with 3 drugs and a day in bed. As time has gone by my symptoms have lessened. I started yoga in 2007, at which time my symptoms initially worsened. As I advanced in yoga my symptoms decreased and I can only attribute this to approximating the Epley maneuver in more advanced yoga poses. I also discovered that tropical vacations ease my symptoms for a long period of time. Don’t know if it’s the change in climate or what, but seriously, I have felt great for months after Hawaiian vacations and a Tahiti vacation. My neighbor has been diagnosed with BPPV and he is able to self administer the Epley maneuver and clear his symptoms immediately.
