    I am dizzy when standing and moving about and I have migraine associated vertigo.  The best thing to do is see your GP and let him refer you for tests.  If you have BPPV they can correct this with the epley manoevre, if its something else you will prob need medication.  The ideal person to see is a neurologist.  You too could have vestibular migraine.  You can have migraine without the headache , its called silent migraine.  A neuro should be able to help.  There is a very good web site on facebook for vestibular migraine and MAV support.
