@calna1 - Yes, oh yes, you may have other issues besides typical BPPV going on. I have learned over time, after almost 60 years of episodes, that not every incident is actually BPPV. For example, through my high school years, I could never look down at my feet while walking without feeling dizzy - until I got hard contact lenses that correct my astigmatism no matter the position of my eyes - the glasses only worked when looking straight through my lenses. And I have not been able to look up without a sensation of dizziness for many years, which may be due to deterioration in my cervical spine; can't ride in a vehicle in any position except facing forward, looking out a windshield. According to the Dizzy & Balance Center and ENT, this is typical of a malfunctioning inner ear. This is a chronic multi-generation issue in my family.

Do you have a history of ear or sinus problems?
