I have/had Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo also called BPPV

The exercise is called the half summersault maneuver. YouTube has a lot of videos on it. It is more likely to occur if you're older and less active.

I found that when I move less often..... usually due to tiredness from allergies or overwork, I am more likely to get it. I just do the exercise 2 to 4 times throughout the day and it stops it in it's tracks.

But you should get a doctor to diagnose it.

Hope you are feeling better soon.
