Positional vertigo is said to occur in those who are above 50 years of age and is more common in women than in men. It must be noted that vertigo is caused by benign positional vertigo mostly. Sometimes when we change our head position vertigo is encountered and this lasts for less than one minute of time. There is no fixed reason for positional vertigo and it might be due to head injury or due to age also.
