I have an MRI scan booked for this weekend to rule out any nasties but as you say I will try and push on with the programme.
At this stage don't worry about not sleeping on your left side or in an upright position. As I've said before you're doing the self epley as a means to desensitize yourself from experiencing your symptoms and not to drain the crystals out of the semicircular canals of the inner ear. The latest research suggests that the patient stay upright a few hours after the initial epley and then to avoid sleeping on the positive side for a week. Its been a while since your initial epley maneuver was done in the clinic so for now you can sleep in any position.

No. I would do one or the other. Talk to your GP or ENT before changing your home program.
