8. May be Self-Treatable
The Epley maneuver is simple to perform and many doctors teach it to patients who have recurring BPPV, so they can perform it themselves if their symptoms come back. For around 90% of patients, the Epley maneuver can provide immediate relief.
Some people feel very dizzy or off-balance for a day or two after performing this treatment, but once those symptoms subside they may find their vertigo is cured. Those who don’t recover using the Epley Maneuver may find wearing a Meniett device offers relief.
