Brief Answer:
home made measures are as important and effective as medical treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic
I have gone through your question and I understood your problem.
If your doctor approves, there are some natural home remedies that may help relieve the symptoms of your vertigo.

A modified Epley maneuver is a type of physical therapy often prescribed that involves head and body movements done while sitting on a bed. Traditionally, it is performed in a doctor or physical therapist's office, but it may also be prescribed to do at home. Once a patient has received proper instruction, this maneuver can resolve symptoms within a week for many patients.
Vitamin D supplementation may be beneficial for patients diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Your doctor can check to see if you have a vitamin D deficiency.
Herbal remedies such as ginger root, ginkgo biloba, and coriander may help reduce vertigo symptoms in some people.
Acupuncture may be helpful in resolving symptoms of some types of vertigo.
Avoid substances that can affect circulation, including caffeine, tobacco, or alcohol.
Drink plenty of fluids.
Following medications can be used for treating vertigo.

Commonly prescribed medications for vertigo include the following:

meclizine hydrochloride (Antivert)
diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
scopolamine transdermal patch (Transderm-Scop)
promethazine hydrochloride (Phenergan)
diazepam (Valium)
These medications should be taken only as directed and under the supervision of a doctor.
