Brief Answer:
an ENT evaluation is needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that you might be having Benign Positional Vertigo.
I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by an ENT specialist. Also get your blood pressure and heart rate monitored.
You may take Cinnarizine 25 mg for relief from your symptoms after discussing with your doctor. Take proper rest. Avoid postures which increase your symptoms. Further medical management can be planned according to the clinical evaluation done by your doctor.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
