Brief Answer:
Yes
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on HealthcareMagic.
The description of your symptoms are in favour of benign positional paroxysmal vertigo.
Though other causes like cervical spondylitis, low blood sugar ,low blood pressure have to be ruled out.
For symptomatic relief you could start taking Tab Betaserc 4mg daily.
It would also be nice if I could get a list of medications which you presently are on .
Vertigo excercises will also help like slow side to side eye movements, slow neck movements and slow position change ,you could ask a physiotherapist to teach you all of the excercises.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
