What is the best maneuver for vertigo when i only get symptoms when lying on my left side? i don't want to dislodge other crystals to worsen vertigo

Dr. Galina Nikolskaya answered

Specializes in Neurology

Epley: Epley otocanalith respositioning maneuver which is best done by your neurologist in the office the 1st time around; once you learn the proper technique you can do the same exercise at home on your own until the vertigo has been gone for more than 1 day.
