I have had this happen three or four times in my life over the course of 40 years. The second to the last time, my PCP prescribed a drug called Meclezine. He said that if the vertigo didn't clear up within a few days, he would refer me to a physical therapist for the Epley procedure. The drug did work, albeit slowly. Took a week before I was fully cured. I've researched the Epley procedure on line and if it occurs again I may steel myself to give it a try. I fear the nausea and discomfort that the procedure would likely cause though and prefer the drug and slow cure method. When I travel I always take this medication along in case I have another episode.
