I have BPPV
I do have BPPV as whenever I turn my head back towards the left I feel spinning and disbalance. I have visited 2 doctors, first one said there is no medicine for this problem and gave some test and the second one gave me valium 2 and Vertin 24 for 15 days and then to do 2 tests. Second doctor also perform Epley Maneuver once and told me to do it at home. Actually I work 2-3days weekly at night as my work comes from different time zones. So doctor suggested me to not stay whole night.
Now my concern is when will this problem leave me as m really worried about this as I can't even enjoy my day and does the medicines work.? It's very difficult to live in such a manner and worried if anything serious happens or not.

Diagnosis of BPPV seems to be correct and as told by first doctor only treatment which works is particle repositioning maneuvers such as Epleys maneuver and other such maneuver. There are various types of BPPV also. Usually it is a benign condition and easy to treat. You may need to consult experienced neuro otologist
