One of the things about the vertigo from BPPV is that it's fatiguable. The first time with the exercises, the vertigo can be a lot, but if you wait till it subsides and then do it again, the response is less. the third time or so, the response is likely a fraction of the initial. The test for which ear is the problem ear is called Dix-Hallpike.
