Head Spins while going to sleep

Question

Asked for Male, 39 Years

My head spins when I am going to bed. It happens at the back of my head and stays for 10 seconds. It also happens sometimes when I change my head position. After a few seconds it will be normal. This is happening for the last 10 days and never had happened before. I am not taking any other medication and I do not have any health issues. Could you please let me know if I should be taking any medicine for this. Thanks Srikanth
