Brief Answer:
It depends on the diagnosis, as different causes have different managements

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

It is necessary to provide the diagnosis first.

For example benign positional paroxysmal vertigo is treated very fast with Epley maneuver.

Meniere's disease is treated by avoiding salt, using water pills, use of betahistine etc.

If conservative treatments don't work, in some cases surgery may be necessary.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards.
