Vertigo, progressed to leg and arm weakness, at my wits end

It's been a really long 7 weeks, firstly I began feeling really fatigued, had dizziness which turned into vertigo, the docs said it was bppv, and gave me some pills and exercises, that seemed to help it a lot - I began to start going out again, slowly and driving! Good times.

A few weeks on and I started feeling weird when I stood up, my right arm and leg would feel like they were spasming from my back, which lasted seconds, I could walk about and all was well, then it became different, still only happening when I move my right arm or twist, and not at night when I'm asleep, but it would feel like a sensation from my back down into my leg and up into my head, along with my arm, the leg and arm feel weak for a bit, I get dizzy then it subsides, until the next time. It doesn't happen all the time when I move, but it's really causing me so much anxiety, I'm scared to leave the house - and it's so danged hot atm. I'm not eating or sleeping too well, but working on that with an acupuncturist. HELP!

edit. forgot to mention, went to the docs and bloods all clear, have had 2 sessions of acupuncture, he's treating my gallbladder as it's pretty knackered. He asked if I'd had covid but I haven't had flu like symptoms at all, but wonder if maybe I'm struggling with long covid. I am booking in an MRI tomorrow. Thanks for any help anyone can give.
