Vertigo

Detailed Answer:
Dear
I am sorry for the symptoms you are suffering
It seems you are experiencing vertigo.
You don't need to worry to much.
Avoid fast movements especially during changing your body position (turning your head)
Discuss with your doctor about my opinion and the possibility to start betahistine which will relief your symptoms
It isn't something serious so don't worry too much
