Dizziness, Lightheadedness While Moving Head, Back Pain, Stiffness In Neck

I have been feeling a sense of dizziness and lightheadedness when I move my head or look side to side. It also happens when I just move my eyes and try to look in my peripheral. I do not know if this is a symptom but I recently had lower back pain and just a little bit of stiffness in my neck. I'm a very active person so the backpain could be from my lifestyle. I don't experience the symptoms much when looking up or down and resting my head on a pillow or something similar generally helps as well. Please advise me in anyway possible.

HI
Thank fro asking to HCM
It is vertigo the most likely cause of this is labyrinthitis, either because of viral infection or of unknown reason, it may some time subsided without any treatment but most of the time treatment is required, "Cinnarizine" is drug of choice can be taken three times in day, if it does not give relief then other possible cause (Deferential diagnosis) has to investigated, but I am sure you will get the good result, have nice day.
