Has anyone had Vertigo on Paclitaxel

I've been experiencing vertigo, towards the end of my Paclitaxel, and are still experiencing 7 weeks later.
It's not severe, but usually occurs in bed turning my head side to side.
My Oncologist doesn't think it relates to my Chemo.
Maybe it's just a coincidence.
Has anyone else experienced this?

    Dear noosa_blue150,
    Luckily my Vertigo has now eased substantially.
    My last Paclitaxel was 10/8.
    I was definitely noticing it as I got up, at the end of each Radiotherapy. As I moved sideways and up.
    That's now 10 weeks since the last Paclitaxel. 
    I'm home monitoring my BP, as I required a lower dose of antihypertensive, soon after starting Paclitaxel.
    I'm guessing that I'll be returning to my original medication dose soon.
    I just need to increase my general fitness.
