Hello,

If you have confirmed diagnosis of BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), then do following:

- If vertigo is severe, take tablet Cinnarizine or Prochlorperazine as and when required basis upon consultation with physician.
- Do not get up or sleep in sudden motion.
- Avoid sudden rotation of head.
- Do epley's maneuver (details are available on internet), 2 to 3 times a day.
- During this maneuver you may feel dizzy but there is nothing to worry.
