How To Get Rid Of Vertigo?

I am 42 years old. I have been experiencing vertigo for more than a year now. My main concern is that for the fast 4 months or so, when I stand up or even turn my head a certain way my eyes cross for several seconds and I see black spots. What could be causing this?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you have nystagmus and that could be the reason in your case. You should consult a ophthalmologist for proper eye check up. That would help to find out the cause. In case, you need any medication, you can try amitriptyline after physician or ophthalmologist consultation. If you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
