Bppv or?

Hello guys! I’ve kind of been diagnosed with BPPV. The day before I went to the emergency department, I did the Epley maneuver because my colleague suggested that it might be BPPV. By the time I went in the next day, they couldn’t detect any nystagmus because I was already feeling a lot better.

Now it’s been about 3–4 weeks, and I feel mostly like myself again. However, I still get lightheaded whenever I move my head left, right, up, or down. The biggest problem is the nausea. Even though I’m not really getting the intense room-spinning dizziness anymore, the nausea is absolutely killing me.

The doctor told me to keep doing the Epley maneuver, but I don’t know which side I should be doing it on, left or right. My left ear seems to feel a bit worse, so I feel like that’s probably the affected side.

I honestly don’t know how to continue or what to do next. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions

Thanks for the help!
