Hi, Erin, My attacks can last from seconds to weeks, and I never know when they will occur. It's like being sea sick. In 1999, I was also told it wasn't...
It doesn't sound like you have BPPV if your vertigo lasts for weeks. That is really horrible. I didn't ask how long you had been getting the vertigo before...
