Brief Answer:
Possible BPPV

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I can certainly understand your concern

I have worked through your attached query in detail

As per your symptoms, the possibility of a condition called BPPV( Benign positional paroxysmal vertigo) is very high.

This is not a serious health issue. But it's important to rule out cerebrovascular disease through MRI SCAN of the brain at the earliest.

Likewise it's important to screen yourself for hypertension.

I generally prescribe oral medications of betahistine to my patients with such symptoms.

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these tests and medications to improve your symptoms.
