Yes they can last seconds to minutes. I am a long time BPPV sufferer. I was misdiagnosed for years until I found a specialist in otonuerology who knew exactly how to diagnosis and fix. Have you found a good specialist who can perform an accurate diagnosis (they must look at your eyes during an attack in order to diagnose BPPV and which ear and canal is causing the issue). It can be scary to go because to diagnose they must create the vertigo event. But then they can do the Epley. Also vestibular rehap (VRT) which should be done in concert with a doctor's order or a trained PT can help over time. My best advice to you is to find a doctor that you trust and that knows what they are doing. After 10+ years and an increasing number of vertigo events each month, I finally had surgery to plug the canal. That is extreme treatment and not frequently done.. But know that you should get diagnosed by an expert - not just a run of the mill ENT. Be well...
