It sounds like you have recurring BPPV. I learned exercises to do at home so I don't go to PT for it. There are even maneuvers online. I sit up looking straight ahead, turn my head to the right, and quickly fall on the bed to the left, leaving my face kind of facing the ceiling. Hold until dizziness stops. Sit up quickly looking straight ahead. Hold until dizziness stops. Then the other side.

Flying can affect the ears, so I wonder if that exacerbated things.

There are other kinds of vertigo. We are allowed to have more than one!

Yep, that's what I did too. I was so relieved that the maneuvers worked for me on the second time, and then it happened a week later... But so far it hasn't happened again, fingers x'd!

Yes, I wondered about flying because your ears take a hit when doing so, but I had zero symptoms when I arrived or for the next 8 days but who knows, I am afraid it’s going to be a condition that I will now always have, on and off, which sucks!!
