This is true. I have occasional BBPV. Blessedly, my chiropractor knows the Eppley maneuver, but he always does a Dix-Hallpike test first to look for nystagmus and determine which side is affected. My last couple of episodes of vertigo had no accompanying nystagmus, so were apparently allergy-related rather than BBPV. Since there can be multiple causes of vertigo, it's best to try to figure out your symptoms as specifically as possible before you self-treat.
