Hi,
I have read your query & understood your concern.
Dizziness you have can be from few conditions ,which need to be evaluated.
- the Eustachian tube problem you had in past may cause inner ear problem giving rise to vertigo.specially aggravation of symptom on lying down favours this cause.
- Long exposure to computer causing stress to eyes can result in dizziness.
I would advise you to consult an ENT /EYE doctor for pin pointing the cause & treatment thereafter.
Thanks
