BPPV and riding a bike

On wednesday, I had a severe attack of BPPV (benign positional vertigo) while at work; felt dizzy, accompanied by severe spells of nausea. Was barely able to drive home early. Puked 7-8 times that day. Saw the doctor, was given a med for the worst of the effects, and started doing the Epley maneuver. Now, 48 hours later, I can drive again, and have probably recovered about 80%. Hoping that during the weekend I recover completely, and get back to work for the new week.

What I'm wondering is this: How long should I stay off the bike?
