Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Vertigo needs to be managed with lifestyle.
Vertigo can be from many causes including spine issues (cervical), ear problem, brain problem, throat problem, digestion problem etc. Therefore many specialists are usually consulted to find a cause. They may run many tests. Many times no particular problem is found. You are already taking medicine to control vertigo

I usually avoid following:
- Avoid lifting heavy weights or bags
- Avoid multitasking
- Avoid prolonged sitting
- keep posture of spine correct
- Certain foods like sugar or sugary foods, salty foods, alcohol etc are generally reduced to help with vertigo
- Avoid sudden movements
- Some maneuvers like canalith positioning or epley maneuver can be helpful with ear problem. Some exercises like hanging from hanging bars can be helpful in spine problem

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
