Brief Answer:
I would recommend treating the vertigo with betahistine

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. If you have vertigo then there are a number of conditions that can cause vertigo like:

+Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
+Meniere's disease
and a few others.

But either way, all of these conditions cause vertigo and to treat the vertigo you will need medications like betahistine. I would recommend the use of betahistine for your symptoms and I think it should greatly help. A few dietary and lifestyle changes will also help.

I hope you find my response both helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
