Hi,
This is Dr.Ram
There are various tests to diagnose the condition :
Electronystagmography (ENG), Dix-Hallpike maneuver, rotation tests, head-thrust test,caloric reflex test,and computerized dynamic posturography (CDP).
CT scans or MRIs are sometimes used by physicians when diagnosing vertigo.
I would suggest you to consult a family physician and then make the
right decision .
Please do let me know your place of living to suggest a good centre.
Thank You
