| First, your doctor will have you briskly lie on your back
with your head turned to the symptomatic side at a 45 degree angle. This

in this position for 30 to 60 seconds, based on the duration of the vertigo
as measured by observation of your eye movements (for nystagmus). You will
probably be dizzy for the first 10 seconds. |
