Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! 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, it can be due to benign positional vertigo or due to internal ear problems like vestibular neuritis though other metabolic as well as endocrine, infective and nervous causes should also be ruled out.

To start with, a detailed ENT examination including upper respiratory tract and ears should be initiated and it also includes certain manevour to confirm the diagnosis. A detailed neurological examination for cerebellum integrity may also be needed.

Then comes the blood work up including electrolytes, thyroid profile, blood sugars as well as baseline blood work up. Xray Paranasal sinuses and if needed CT Brain as well as of Paranasal sinuses may also be needed. Treatment will be based on the cause or once the diagnosis is confirmed.

Meanwhile you can keep on using betahistine as well as prochlorperazine after discussing with your primary doctor alongwith OTC analgesics like acetaminophen for headaches and other associated symptoms.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards. .
