All positional vertigo may not be BPPV. If it is BPPV conformed by Dix hallpike, fist have to identify canal. If it is PSCC epilies will work. Rarely expecially after trauma may get a LSCC BPPV in such cases epilies may not work sometimes and have to lembert 360 manauver. And pt may be relieved. Exercise may make pt symptom free 3 days to 2week. So usually repeat every week till symptoms disappears completely. Symptom free period more for PSCC and less for LSCC. Some may have relapses and may stay for years.

First of all if it's positional it should have been relieved by epleys, secondly many of us don't do the epleys properly,it's necessary to do it properly otherwise it will not be of any use.Vestibular rehabilitation exercises should be started at once.If the symptoms are acute,they should be treated with vertin 48 mg OD ,only till acute episode subsides.The patient should be advised to sleep in a head elevated position by keeping 2 pillows.Avoidance of tea,coffee,salt restricted diet.Adequate hydration is necessary.
