My father was on serious doses of Celebrex for knee osteoarthritis. He said it made him dizzy. I thought he was crazy, since that isn't usually a side affect.
About a year later, I was taking massive doses of Celebrex for neck, shoulder and knee issue due to long distance cycling. I started getting issues where if I moved my head too fast, I'd get a big hit of vertigo.
I stopped taking the Celebrex, moving to a special form of Ibuprofen coated with stomach protecting coating. I haven't had an issue since. My father was moved to Naproxen and he hasn't had any issues either.

This is a very good point^^.
I just reread the op's post and the part where he says, "
a very unpleasant constant dizziness" now seems out of place for BPPV--at least in my experiences. The dizziness is not constant once the symptoms have been addressed and recede. I agree, the op needs to see a doctor as he may not be dealing with BPPV at all.
