General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You are suffering from severe vertigo. You should get yourself checked as soon as possible. The cause of vertigo has to be ascertained to treat you properly. Sometimes vertigo may happen due to migraine, labyrinthitis, Meniere's disease etcetera. It can be diagnosed by proper physical examination.

Your physician may do a simple table tilt test to determine whether it is benign positional vertigo. He may also refer you to an ENT to diagnose any defect in the inner ear. Vertigo can be managed with the help of medicines. Meanwhile, you should take care and make sure that you are always accompanied by someone to prevent you from injuries.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
