Suggest Treatment For Severe Dizziness When Diagnosed With Vertigo

I have vertigo and still having dizziness when I raised my head from my pillow. I have visited my primary doctor and he prescribed two shots and antibiotics. I have taken all the prescription but still experiencing it. not as severe but have completely cleared.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
i totally understand your concerns about persistance of your vertigo after treatment.
from what you are describing this is what we call a benign paroxysmal positional vertigo which is a vertigo that happens when changing position such as from the pillow. it is brief in time but it reccurs frequently.
To treat this condition you must do "Epley maneuvers". you can find the way to do them on youtube easily.
in order to decrease the symptoms associated with it you can take an anti-histamin medication or an anti-cholinergic medication.
I find this answer helpful
