Dizziness: This sounds like a condition called benign positional vertigo (bpv), which results from an inner ear disturbance. Symptoms are worse with movement of the head. If your symptoms do not resolve on their own, a visit to your primary care doctor is recommended, as there are maneuvers and medications that may help your symptoms.
