I have read your message.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a positionAl vertigo or postural hypotension.
I would suggest that you get the tests -
1. HB
2. HUTT
3. ECG
4. HOLTER.
Also, I would have suggested that you start with betahistidine instead.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal
