You seem to be suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Diagnosis can be confirmed by a maneuver known as Dix Hallipike maneuver. If diagnosis is confirmed then only way to treat is to perform particle repositioning maneuvers such as Epley maneuver. Medications are usually not useful
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
