Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to HealthcareMagic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all, it is sad to know what you had gone through.
Based on the history you have shared, these symptoms can't be ignored and should be evaluated preferably by a neurologist or a neurosurgeon after a detailed neurological examination, and then proceeding to CT or MRI Brain as first priority as this can be menifestation of multiple neurological conditions including space occupying lesions inside brain.
If examination is absolutely normal and there is no focal neurological defect, other aspects like some ear conditions contributing to vertigo should also be evaluated by an otolaryngologist or ENT specialist.
Basic blood work up including baselines blood screens as well levels for lipid profile, B12, folic acid, thyroid, sugar levels, as well as renal functions should also be evaluated keeping the history of kidney disease in past.
Vertigo is a multi system disorder and has even relations to cardiac conditions like arrythmias or BP fluctuations so a baseline EKG and of needed holter monitoring may also be needed but keeping in view your other symptoms, it can be considered down the list as neurological symptoms are too significant to be ignored.
Meanwhile only OTC analgesics like acetaminophen can be used temporarily. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
