Specializes in Infectious Disease

Check with doctor: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) often lasts longer than a few minutes, but however long it lasts usually responds to positional maneuvers (which you probably know about). Maybe you have a cause other than BPPV; discuss with your doctor. Good luck.
