HI
Maintain your husband's cholesterol at less than 200mg
For vertigo if I was your doctor would advise Tab. stugeron ,increase the dose of lipitor
Advise him to use low pillow
-Physiotherapy includes some exercises,hot fomentation
We have to see cause of vertigo
The cause of vertigo is not high cholesterol
-Your doctor would take X-RAY cervical spine
-Blood test for sugar(for neuropathy )
-Keep him on low fat diet
Thanks
