Do that. Not kidding, it works. You'll have to adjust accordingly based on which ear is affected (that video is for right ear--left ear is obviously an exact mirror). If in doubt, try it once, wait a while, and try again in the other direction.
You may need to do it a second time, after giving it a few minutes to settle. It works best if you have a friend to help guide you through the motions and timing. You shouldn't worry about doing it too many times, all you'll get is a headache. You don't need to stay upright for 24 hours, but you should try to move your head as little as possible, avoid getting jostled around much, and -try- to sleep propped up a little bit (not necessarily sitting up, just a slight incline).
This is from experience. You'll notice an almost instant fix if this is done correctly, with maybe a little nausea or a much decreased dizziness that should go away in a couple of hours. If it comes back, repeat the maneuver. You may have to do this once a week for up to a few months, or any time you hit your head.
Out of curiosity, have you hit your head recently, or been jostled around after changing altitude, going through extreme temperature changes, or having an ear infection? Those are common causes.
Out of nowhere. Goes away after I get up, might only happen once, sometimes a fe days in a row.
Damned annoying...
Hugs.
