Husband is 60 year old and has been healthy but has been having some issues the last 5 or six years. it's frustrating to see him like this. but we'll make it.

Hi, the causes of vertigo may be hypertension, infection of the internal ear, ischemia or necrosis of the brain,and some drugs.
If it is due to the drugs , once they are changed it wont be repeated. If it is not due to the drug, other causes are searched and treated accordingly by a neurologist. Thank you.
