BPPV?: Another possibility -- perhaps even more likely than earwax -- is the condition called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). (Sometimes "proxysmal" isn't mentioned, i.e. BPV and BPPV are the same thing.) This would be the best bet if the same problem occurs again, especailly if there are 3 or more episodes. Google it for more information.
