You seem to be suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo which is common type of vertigo disorder. Dix Hallipike maneuver will confirm the diagnosis. Once confirmed Epley maneuver will cure the condition
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
