Your vertigo could be spontaneous in origin i.e. it comes without a trigger or it could be triggered by certain position of the head, complex visual stimuli, by sound, by increased pressure in the head or middle ear (Valsalva induced) or body positions like lying to sitting positions or from sitting to lying positions.
