HI THANKS FOR POSTING YOUR QUERY ON HEALTH CARE MAGIC.

YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE HIGHLY SUGGESTIVE OF A"BPPV-BENIGN PAROXYSMAL POSITIONAL VERTIGO"THIS CAN CAUSE REELING SENSATION OF THE HEAD WITH CHANGE IN POSTURE.OCCASIONALLY URINATION CAN PRECIPITATE SUCH SPELLS.THIS HAS TO BE RULED OUT WITH SYNCOPAL ATTACKS WHICH CAN ARISE OUT OF HEART PROBLEMS.ALL YOU NEED IS 24HR HOLTER ECG MONITORING. A TILT TABLE TEST WOULD BE A USEFUL EXAM.DRUGS LIKE CLONAZEPAM,PROMETHAZINE,DOMPERDONE,PANTOP WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL. EPLEY'S EXERCISES PRODUCE GOOD OUTCOMES.CONSULT AN EXPERT NEUROLOGIST FOR FURTHER HELP.THIS CONDITION CAN BE TREATED VERY WELL WITH GOOD OUTCOMES.
