I can understand your discomfort on account of recurrent and persistent dizziness.
I agree dizziness can occur as part of seizures, however, they should get controlled with anti seizure drug, such as Keppra (levetiracetam). So, I feel you are suffering from vertigo, which could be related to spine problem, or an ear related problem. Seeing an ENT doctor would help in sorting out the diagnosis.
Long term treatment would include medications such as piracetam and vestibular adaptation exercises.
A good MRI brain would also be useful.
