Treatment options for vertigo are dependent on the nature of the condition and then the cause. You'll need help from your doctor, by describing your symptoms and extent of dizziness for proper determination of treatment option. Certain conditions of vertigo may last for a few minutes, some may last for hours or days, or even months.

The doctor will ask you several questions concerning your symptoms. During your visit your doctor will check your eye movement for any possible dysfunction and might run a lab test for confirmation.

Be patient with your doctor because they also have to run a hearing test to check if there is any ear or other disorders, such as sinus or throat that might be causing you dizziness.

Other check-ups that the doctor will have to run include:

• Blood pressure and nervous system
• CT scanning of the brain (in severe cases).

Treatments for vertigo will depend on the extent and cause of the condition. So, the bottom line in treating vertigo is fighting the cause.
