Vertigo: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is usually diagnosed w/dix-hallpike maneuver (http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/dix–hallpike_test). Your doc should talk to you about epley maneuver (http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/epley_maneuver) to put the otoliths back in place & resolve your vertigo (which will then resolve anxiety & panic).

BPPV: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo arises in the inner ear. Symptoms are episodes of positional vertigo, a spinning sensation caused by changes in the position of the head. An area called the cupula is weighted down by dense particles of calcium, causing an excitation of semicircular canal afferent nerves, a condition called cupulothiasis. This is best handled by an ENT doctor. See one soon.
