ARe there associated headaches? This sounds like what I would have before a migraine attack. The vertigo spells, at least. If I iced it and could get advil and dark rooms, it might hold it off.

I would call the doctor's. The frequency is a bit off putting. Maybe something with the inner ear? It must be worrisome. And put a little wrench in your social life!

I hope you are okay.
