It is probably BPPV you are suffering from which typically occurs when you change your head position especially while lying down.If you have a disc with significant bulge you will have symptoms related to radicular pain , tingling numbess as well.
recommend that you try and sleep on your back, as the crystals within your ear canals are less likely to become disturbed and trigger a vertigo attack.Continue with physiotherapy and betahistine 16 mg .

Hi
Your condition mostly points towards a cervical spine cause rather than BPPV. This is a young age for any surgical correction. You need to stick to proper physiotherapy regularly for improvement of symptoms
