Lightheadedness

I've been experiencing some bouts of lightheadedness over the past month. Usually, the dizziness is only a few seconds but can be several times a day or I can go several days without any episodes. Sometimes it happens with movement but many times not. It is not the dizziness one might get when standing up too quickly, and it hasn't happened during that motion. My Internal Med doc thinks it is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and it may well be.

My PD regimen includes Rasagiline 1 mg (since Feb), Mannitol (since March) 1 ts twice daily (recently reduced from 1.5 ts twice daily), and the Duo Coronet (since June) plus, of course, supplements and exercise.

For those who are taking or have studied up on Mannitol, could the lightheadedness be from it? Any other ideas?

Thank you!
