I had a head MRI for it. Turned out I didn't have one.

I had similar symptoms 20+ years ago. Went to several doctors before getting a diagnosis of Vestibular Neuronitis. I did not have vomiting, which often happens with VN. I remember I was prescribed Antivert, but it gave me some bad side effects, so then I was prescribed Valium and something else that I forget.

I really don't think you want to make it happen again. That's just dumb.

If it's BPPV, try the Epley Maneuver. It's helped me tremendously a few times.

If you want to try to self diagnose then I would try the epley maneuvers first. I have positional crystals in my ears that cause this. I know from self diagnosis because I can control and fix it. I never go see doctors, although I imagine they are in my future. however I spin like I'm slightly drunk, not side to side. It can happen to me simply by laying down in bed. Once I get those crystals back to where they belong it subsides, sometimes for months.

I have been getting Vertigo for years now. I work as a Diver and The water gets down to about 54-55 degrees. I wear a good wetsuit with hood, but water still gets inside a bit and for me that's what causes it. I only get attacks during the coldest water temperatures in winter. The Epley maneuver is a big help to lessen the severity.

Mine is so weird, like out of no where, normal day of sleeping, then in my sleep I feel unbalance then I open my eyes and the light on the ceiling was move left and right, like a boat hit by waves. Nope, the light didn't spin in circles, but it was like a balance issue, like it moving horizontally.
ok, maybe that also dizziness, but a different type? Not all dizziness means spinning in circles right?

Since wake up till tonight, so a day, I been having balance issue, like when I walk I can feel that it not balance. I try take a nap but then wake up again with the unbalance light moving horizontally again.

Yes, I took my blood pressure, normal. I took my oximeter my blood oxygen was normal, so was my heartrate. Yes, I prick my finger for sugar test and it was 82, which is normal sugar (no diabetes history here).
NO vomit yet. And no fever at all.

So something is wrong, maybe the fluid in my eyes is unbalance or my head is unbalance somehow.

However 2 days ago I did suffer a day of violent sneezing (I was outside all day and something in the air trigger my sneeze to go off violently). I sneeze so much that half my head hurt (strangely it is this right side that cause me to have the vertigo).
However 2 days ago I did took a pill of Claritin and the sneezing is gone since.

It so weird, I never have this happen to me before.
I wait till one more day and then go to doctor. But then blood pressure, oximeter, sugar level all come out normal. What could cause this? Maybe a nerve pressing on my brain? Hope this go away, getting scare. It so weird that things move but not in circle, but like horizontally moving left right left right. I guess it another form of dizziness? I think it some balance issue.
My mother complained of similar symptoms for m7any years. I don't know that she ever got an accurate diagnosis, she was told it might be Menniere's disease ( I know that isn't spelled right), or possibly another inner ear disorder. She was given some physical therapy, and exercises to improve her balance, and took dramamine to help the nausea and "spinning" effects she described. She thought this helped.
