Hi
Thanks for posting the query
After going through the brief history posted by you, I do feel, you could be suffering from either BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) or cervical vertigo.
Certain tests such as Hallpike-dix maneuver and X-ray of cervical spine is required to identify the actual cause of the problem.
My suggestion to you is to consult a good physician for a complete evaluation and management.
Hope I have answered your query; I will be available for the follow-up queries.
