Hello,
It might be due to the involvement of balancing organs located within the inner ear.
As first-line management, you can take drugs like betahistine for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an ENT specialist and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
