Undiagnosed dizziness, BPPV or acute labryinthitis?

Hi All,

For about 5 weeks or so i've been feeling dizziness, mostly when i stand up/walking around, it last a few seconds and then passes, it hasn't gotten any worse, maybe there has been slight improvement but i have taken some medicine.

I had seen a doctor and all bloods and other tests were normal, except i had low vitamin D (26) so have been taking supplements. I have seen a few doctors, but they all seem pretty young so i dont entirely trust them. 

I've been given prochlorprezine and cyclizine, which i think is helping. with the Prochloprezine, i could still fee the dizziness, the cyclizine is stronger but helps, only it makes me feel sleepy. 

It's been about 5 almost 6 weeks and its not gone sad i feel the dizziness most if i move my head from left to right very quickly, but other than its fine. - which suggests an inner ear imbalance. 

No one seem's to know what it is, but i am being treated as if it is acute labryinthitis. Has anyone else experienced similar? what do you think this is?
