Hi Steven,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your symptoms are suggestive of benign paroxysmal positional
vertigo (BPPV). In this condition, there is minor dysfunction in the middle ear.
Symptoms are
dizziness or giddiness, which is made worse with sudden neck or head movements. This is a self-limiting condition and complete recovery occurs in a few days to a few weeks.
For relief of dizziness, you may take
betahistine tablets.
If symptoms persist or recur, you may see an ENT doctor or a
neurologist.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)
