Brief Answer:
Certain medicines like betahistine or cinnarizine can provide relief.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I am sorry that you needed to wait but although there are always a number of doctors online to help you out, often the number of queries waiting to be answered is also high and they might need some time to answer your query. It also takes time to find the right doctor for you and he also needs some time to type in the answer. However, most often the questions get answered in less than an hour or two.
Coming to your query. I completely understand your concerns. You seem to have a problem with your vestibulo cochlear apparatus which is seated in your inner ear. Alongside acting as the seat of hearing, it also is responsible for maintaining balance and a problem with this appraratus may lead to vertigo. Medicines like betahistine or cinnarizine can provide relief.
However, I would still suggest you to proceed with the appointment with your neurologist who would be able to evaluate you properly and make out if there can be some other possibility behind your problems.
Let me know if I could be of further help.
Regards
