Hello I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
I would exclude any BPPV diagnoses with an X-ray. BPPV is a defined clinically or by specific manouvers but there is no radiologic exam which settles the diagnosis. It is generally self limitted from a couple of days to two weeks. It might recur but if it lasts longer than this it is not BPPV.
I recommend a physical neurological examination to better evaluate if there are other signs associated and determine the next steps.
Wishing you good health, please feel free for further questions
