Hi, Thanks for writing in. If you get vertigo spells only when you are out of your bed at certain times then it might be benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Symptoms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo are triggered by specific changes in the position of your head, such as tipping your head up or down, and by lying down, turning over or sitting up in bed. You may also feel out of balance when standing or walking. Since your CT scan brain is normal, it can help if you get Electronystagmography (ENG) or videonystagmography (VNG) done to record abnormal eye movements while your head is placed in different positions or your balance organs are stimulated with water or air. For this you might consult the ENT specialist.
