Brief Answer:
3-5 days' treatment will cure your problem
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
From the details provided, you are apparently suffering from a benign, non-life-threatening condition called Benign Paroxysmal Positional
Vertigo (BPPV).
BPPV is the most common disorder of the inner ear’s
vestibular system, which is a vital part of maintaining balance. BPPV is benign, meaning that it is not life-threatening nor generally progressive. BPPV produces a sensation of spinning called vertigo that is both paroxysmal and positional, meaning it occurs suddenly and with a change in head position.
THERE IS NO CAUSE OF PANIC OR WORRY, AS IT WILL GO AWAY IN MAXIMUM OF 5-7 DAYS' TIME.
An Anti-histaminic drug, such as,
Betahistine 16 mg THRICE daily, along with Prochloraperazine 5mg TWICE daily for 3-5 days, will give you 100% relief within 48-72 hours.
