Some conditions may have several possible causes or exhibit multiple symptomatology. Episodic disorders of dizziness or disequilibrium require careful evaluation and consideration by the FAA. Transient processes, such as those associated with acute labyrinthitis or benign positional vertigo may not disqualify an applicant when fully recovered. (Also see Item 46 for a discussion of syncope and vertigo).

Get copies of all the treatment records and if possible a statement from your treating ENT or neurologist that it was BPPV, is now resolved, and without residual.
That should let you get it through with only the unavoidable bureaucratic delay.
