hello and thank you for asking HCM,
I understand your concern. This dizzines is a result of your spondilosis. Your degenerative cervical vertebrae is pressing the blood vessels, obviously stronger on the right side and this leads to lower short-term supply of blood to the brain which can cause dizziness. Try to avoid getting up directly from your rigt side. Try changing the position to the left to avoid the experience.
I hope this answer was helpful to you.
