You need to see an ENT physician or neurologist to find out what causes your dizziness first.

A physical therapist will do a thorough exam to determine the cause of your vertigo. Depending on the cause, there are specific movements and exercises that can help to relieve or cure the cause of the vertigo.
A maneuver you can have friends or family help with. Lots of YouTube videos on how to do it. So Google the Eply maneuver
