Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
The symptoms you describe is typically caused by positional vertigo - a condition which is related to vestibular system in your ear.
I would suggest you to consult an ENT specialist if you haven't seen one yet. You would need careful examination of you ear, test like audiogram / Dix Hallpike's test to confirm the cause. Vestibular exercises will help you in the long term.
Wish you good luck and speedy recovery.
Regards
