Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for immediate follow-up.
Vertigo could be due to variety of causes or it could be transient.
Do you have any other symptoms with this vertigo?
Perhaps if it is not troubling your day to day work, then you may wait for few days. Until then you may take proper hydration and electrolyte balance with some symptomatic antihistamines treatment like betahistidine or Stugeron Forte (Cinnarizine 25) which is available over the counter.
Do not need to worry.
However if the problem is persistent, you should see your treating doctor at the earliest and get evaluated further.
Hope this will help you.
Regards,
