Hello,
It is possible that the symptoms are related to BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo). This is a benign (not dangerous or life threatening) condition of the inner ear that causes short episodes of dizziness with certain positions of the head.
It can be confirmed by a visit to your doctor. Treatment involves the temporary use of medication along with a maneuver called the Epley Maneuver.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
