Positional vertigo
I am suffering from positional vertigo since one week.
It happens when I turn my neck to right when I am lying on my bed or when I wake up from my bed or sometimes when I look down/ up.
Please suggest me what should I do ?

Let me know what needs to be done.
Thanks in advance doctor

You seem to be suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo which is common type of vertigo disorder. Dix Hallipike maneuver will confirm the diagnosis. Once confirmed Epley maneuver will cure the condition
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
