Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.I would recommend you to take the medication Meclizine hydrochloride (Antivert).
I also recommend to reduce salt intake in the diet.
If the symptoms continue I suggest you to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
