Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
With a history of heart failure in the past, the role of hear in causing vertigo needs evaluation.
Arrhythmia, postural hypotension, low output - have to considered and excluded.
HOLTER / ECHO / Stress EKG) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary
In a few, neurological causes are responsible
If there are no pointers, it is most likely from ears - relief takes weeks to months, depending on the cause of the problem
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
