What Causes Vertigo And Lightheadedness?

I started experiencing BPPV (vertigo while lying down)about 3 days ago and lightheadedness all throughout the day sometimes while turing my head or bending over, etc. i have had some headaches that are on both sides of my head and my neck hurts. My blood pressure today was normal to slightly below normal. I am overweight and take atenolol daily(for about 15 years). I am also borderline anemic. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
