Hi, thanks for the query.
You are having typical history of Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo ( BPPV ). It is due debris in semicircular canal ( Balance mechanism in inner ear ). If you assume same position repeatably which causes vertigo , it severity decrease for some time. This condition can be confirm by performing Hallpike Manoeuvre ( Positional Test ) by an expert in vertigo clinic.
