Though there are numerous causes and conditions that produce vertigo (a sense of spinning), the commonest cause is OTOLOGIC (inner ear causes). This is generally a benign condition and often termed as BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo).
Acute episodes of this condition can be effectively managed by using Antihistamine preparations like Betahistine or cinnarizine. A specific set of exercises are present inorder to reduce the incidences of vertigo. Consult an Otorhinolaryngologist who will teach you,how to perform those exercises.
Avoid sudden or abrupt change in the position of the neck, which reduces the chances of vertigo.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
