I'll be listening for how it goes for you.  I hope you have the success I'm having.  My  initial improvement was using only those three top of the list supplements, by the way.

I damned near had a heat stroke in the gym yesterday.  I was so wobble I could barely get off the chair and get back home. 

The last thing I need is reduce my electrolytes.

Some positional vertigo is very curable with the Epley maneuver. You basically chase calcium crystals around your spiral ducts until they no longer tickle your balance hairs. Google it.

The Epley maneuver is the best one if you can find someone to do it correctly .

Nothing magical about it. You can put yourself through it.

Thanks for all the input. The second day after PT = no symptoms.  Weird.  I suspect that my therapist initially did the Epley Maneuver after about 30 minutes of tests and an interview.  Today, she also told me that, on occasion, the brain is so used to compensating for the vertigo it reacts to the absence of the negative stimuli.  I suspect as the stimuli wanes so will the condition (fingers crossed.)  BTW: heart and pressure is fine.

I have exercises to do at home now and I hope this is all bye bye now.  Time will  tell.

My wife is a physical therapist and says the epley maneuver is very hard perform. And if you do not do it correctly you can damage a blood vessel in the inner ear. She has done it twice successfully but after reading about possible complication to an artery she decided to leave it those who perform the maneuver regularly.
From this website about complications: http://www.dizziness-and-balance.com/disorders/bppv/complications.html
Retinal Detachment and Stroke
Some of the maneuvers for BPPV (e.g. the Semont maneuver, some of the newer maneuvers for lateral canal BPPV) incorporate high accelerations, similar to some of the chiropractic maneuvers. It is generally accepted that high acceleraiton maneuvers of the head increase the risk for vertebral artery dissection (and stroke).

I suspect the exercises for home are of the benign category.  Glad Stacey is a specialist in this kinda stuff.  Day three after manipulation and I'm fine...
