Positional vertigo if I lie down

2022-12-23 16:43:52
Only when I lie down and turn my head, I am having spinning sensation. Doc checked and confirmed it is the problem with my right ear. I am prescribed Topvert 16mg and Otolanz Pv for 10 days. Will this subside in 10 days? Will it repeat? Is there a permanent cure for BPPV?Pls suggest. It is very scary when I get that spinning sensation.
