    The first time I encountered this, it scared the shit out of me. Only by rationally eliminating possibilities was I able to calmly dig in, learn about the Epley Maneuver, and get some relief.

    It still pops up on occasion, but a couple of rounds of the Maneuver and I’m usually back to normal.
