many other videos online suggest 1 to 3 minutes for each position.

Hello, my doctor diagnosed me with anterior canal bbpv using a glasses system that monitors my eye movements. We performed this maneuver twice, two days apart. My complaints seemed to have decreased, but they did not completely improve. Would it be useful or harmful to do this maneuver once a day until my complaints improve?

Can you have both Posterial canal and Lateral canal BPPV? If yes should I do both the Lembert and the Epley maneuvers?

If this maneuver doesn't work the first day, are you meant to try it again the next day until the symptoms go away? I've tried it twice and the symptoms have gotten better, but I still have that "floating" sensation.
