Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be a transient ischemic attack (TIA) where there is transient occlusion of blood vessels supplying the brain which leads to dizziness and head ache. Better to take an MRI scan to rule out other causes. Inner ear disease can also rarely cause similar clinical picture. Consult a physician and get evaluated, you might require drugs like aspirin and vestibular stabilizers for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussain
