You can get relief from medications.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms.

The vertigo can be treated with medications such as betahistine tablets. Also, please start drinking adequate amounts of water.

Hemoglobin level and an echocardiogram may be done to further evaluate the reasons for shortness of breath.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
