Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Giddiness, in your case, is multi-factoral (related to cervical spondylosis, decreased blood flow to brain and ear-related).
So, the treatment should include using aspirin (you are already on that), neck extension exercises for your cervical spondylosis and ENT check up.
Taking medications such as betahistine tablets would reduce your giddiness and to prevent the recurrence of symptoms, you should do vestibular rehabilitation exercises.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
