BPPV: Your diagnosis is most likely benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. It is caused by free floating calcium carbonate crystals in the inner ear. It may be confirmed by a Hallpike Maneuver performed by your doctor. It may be treated by different exercises and maneuvers. You may try some exercises by searching on line.
