Hi welcome to the health care magic
You have been diagnosed with BPPV in which Intially no specific treatment needed
Epley manouver is beneficial and it should be tried regularly....
Vestibular suppressant drug useful like antihistaminic drug....
Vestibular rehabilitation is also another mode of therapy...
With the time in few weeks or months, you will be improved
If no benefit than finally surgical management done
Take care
Consult otorhinolaryngologist for examination and further work up accordingly...
Hope your concern solved
