Hi,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having spinning sensation. I would like to ask you few more details.
Is there any neck pain or ear discharge ?
Kindly get back to me with the details.
Based on your clinical details, it appears to be BPPV (benign paroxymal positional vertigo) (dizziness during neck movements or posture) or cervical spondylosis.

Hello again,
Thanks for considering my answer and for your follow up.
Looks like cervical spondylosis. Kindly do the investigations, what I have already mentioned.
Mean time, do not make forceful neck movements, avoid continous straining of neck muscles (computer screen).
All the best. Take care.
