Is Epley Maneuver Advisable For Vertigo?

I have been dealing with vertigo for the past 2 weeks. My doctor prescribed meclazine on Monday and the cawthorne exercises 2x a day. I haven t had any relief. A friend told me to try the Epley maneuver as it cured her mother-in-law. I tried that today and feel a lot worse. Is that normal to feel worse after the Epley and will it get better?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the vertigo and not responding to treatment then it need to be sent for MRI test because it may not be due to vestibular dysfunction then, till the Tab Betahistine 8 mg three times in day can be tried hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
