Benign Positional Vertigo, Anyone with experience?

I started suffering a few years ago and saw an ENT who also gave me “exercises”. Mine would happen when I would roll onto my left side when I slept. Twice a day I would lye on my side and stay in that position until the spinning stopped on its own, then I would hold that spot for an additional minute. Next I would turn my head in the other direction and hold for a minute and then roll my whole body to the opposite side and hold. It was pretty horrible to do because it made me very dizzy and nauseas, but within a week I found it more and more difficult to get my head in a position that would make the room spin, and within three weeks my symptoms were gone. It’s been years now, and every once in a while I will feel the vertigo starting and I will repeat the “exercises” and it will stop. Good Luck
