Brief Answer:
Possibility of stroke is very less.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of stroke is very less.
But better to get done plain MRI brain if his head spinning is not reduced in 2-3 days.
So in my opinion, you should wait for 2-3 days and continue Vertistar and Vertigon.
If he is improving then nothing should be done.
But if he is not improving in head spinning then get done plain MRI brain to rule out brain stroke.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
