Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query .
Well looking into your query I would like to tell you that I think its vertigo that has given you a spinning sensation . Vomiting is a common acccompanying factor for the same .
There can be many reasons for it . But in you case BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo ) or cervical spondylosis will be the main differential diagnosis. Your doctor may get a cervical spine x ray for the same to look for osteophytes . Ear diseases can also give similar symptoms .
You need not worry , Just keep your self hydrated , avoid caffeine and sudden jerky movements of your neck . You can take Prochlorperazine 5 mg tablet or beta histine 8 mg for symptomatic relief if there is no contraindication after discussing with your doctor .
Take care.
