Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query.
Vertigo is a difficult disease to be diagnosed as well as treated as it has varied pathology. As a ent specialist, my views are on the peripheral vestibular lesion or the inner ear disease. good that your VNG is normal. but still you can have peripheral vestibular disorder. Drugs may not be needed at this stage. Vestibular rehabilitation exercises will surely be helpful to you. Consult with the physiotherapist and do these exercises. If symptoms persists, then please consult with neurologist and get evaluated about the central causes of vertigo . There is no over the counter drugs for dizziness. regular exercise may help you. Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.

Would you recommend a second opinion from an ENT physician? I have started developing in past 1-2 weeks tingling in my arms and legs and feet. Could this all be related to the EBV virus? Could inflammation cause this? I was tested and my primary care physician said the blood test showed I had inflammation. I went to a chiropracter a few weeks ago and she said based on the x-ray of my neck and back that I have alot of inflammation. Do you think I have or am having XXXXXXX strokes?
