There is a condition called BPPV. Basically you're inner ear have tiny calcium crystals in it, displacement of these crystals from their original place lead to this kind of vertigo.
Diagnosis can be confirmed only after physical examination and maneuvers specific for BPPV.
Next Steps
General practitioner OR ENT consult.
