BPPV: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Common although you're slightly on the younger side of when we tend to see it but that's OK....we mostly see it in women compared to men. Get to a good neurologist who believes in proving the diagnosis and teaching you the Brandt-Daroff exercises or doing an Epley maneuver as opposed to just medicating you because they basically don't work well. Good luck
