I would not advise the epley because each time someone tried something it reared its ugly head.
Just take precautions not to fall and wait it out!
BPPV is not as bad a diagnosis as others because it will go eventually!
Mine did!

I also have back issues so was determined not to fall.

My husband had to hold me as I could not stay upright not even to sit on the toilet.
I know how you feel.
It must be proven to be BPPV and they do that by setting it off which was awful. They hang your head over the side of the bed and jerk it one way then the other and you prove that it is BPPV!
For now mine is gone and I hope it stays gone!
If it ever returned I would just wait it out but I am retired with a good husband to look after me. And use the rollator to prevent falls!
