Giddiness or vertiginous sensations during changing position (as you mention while getting up or process of lying down and lasting for few minutes) suggest diagnosis of BPPV [Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo]. Digital can be effective for symptomatic control. But I not suggest continuing Protamine for this problem. Also, effective may be Alley maneuver (also called the CRP or banality repositioning procedure).
