How Can Dizziness Be Treated?

Hi! I m seeking material on BPPV to have in hand. I ve been to my GP and have had a CAT scan and am scheduled for a MRI next Tuesday followed by another appointment with my GP. Its the information I seek so that I might better understand what, if anything, I can do to lessen the vertigo symptom of dizziness. Thank you.
