its usually comes on if I lay on my stomach so I lay on my back it feels like my head is turning in circles I've had it for 2 months now
tinnitus I do have
banged head 2 moths ago before that I did not have this type of dizziness

most of the time. some times when lying down. standing still 2 months I do have tinnitus I had an mri done and the mri said this

in the mri report it says seventh and eighth cranial nerve complexes there is grossly preserved fluid signal within the inner ear structures . the mastoid air cells are clear.

Brief Answer:
central vertigo

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir,
Thanks for all the details.
There are mainly 2 caused for vertigo.
1) Inner ear problems.
2) Problems of central nervous system.

From the description that you gave it appears that your vertigo is of central origin.
Leaning to one side while walking and walking crooked are typical of vertigo of central origin.
You will have to meet up with a neurophysician for complete evaluation of central nervous system to pin point the cause for vertigo.

Regards,
Dr Rajkishori Godhi
