Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

The symptoms that you are describing may be vertigo which is the sensation of movement (either the person or the environment).

There are different causes but based on the fact that your symptoms occur with certain positions then it may be caused by BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo).
This is a condition of the inner ear and it is not related to your allergies.

Your doctor can confirm this by performing certain maneuvers in his or her office.
Treatment would involve your doctor taking you through other maneuvers (called EPLEY maneuver) to correct the issues in the inner ear causing the problem.

I hope this helps
