Yep, if I go out in rough water in my kayak for a couple of hours I am done for the day and maybe the whole weekend. It is a shame because I really love kayaking. I will try that Epley Maneuver once it gets warm enough to paddle.

Never had a head injury or anything along those line to relate it to. I felt like I was turning into Howard Hughes as I didn't leave my house for nearly two months let alone my bedroom. I quit my job and it was very discouraging as the doctors could never give me an answer and just prescribed things for me to "try". Believe it or not but once the symptoms died down. I got back into cycling after a five year stint and never felt better and have yet to return to the level it was before. On a scale of how it was at it's prime. I would say at it's prime it was a 10 out of10 in severity and now it's like a .75 out of 10. Mostly it's just a minute or so of dizziness and quick loss of my surroundings. Mostly when just walking around and never on a bike or driving.
I went looney tunes as well from crappy doctors. Not the vertigo, but something else (although the vertigo is probably worsened by this). I finally figured it all out on my own using the internet. The big problem was the doctors wanted to treat the symptoms individually instead of looking at the bigger picture and tracing things back to the root problem.
