Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Causes of spinning sensation associated with position could be the case of BPPV, which usually lasts for seconds to minutes.
This is diagnosed by specific positional tests performed by doctors. Other causes could be postural hypotension.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Manu Wilfred
