How To Heal Severe Viral Vertigo With No Depth Perception,dizziness And Heavy Headed While On Cerc Medication With No Help?

I had severe viral vertigo 7 weeks ago inclusive of nausea, dizziness and no depth perception. I am no longer nauseated or have no depth perception, but my dizziness is constantly still here and the back of head feels very heavy. I have been on the Cerc medication for 4 days with no help. I had a CT scan completed but came back normal. I can't drive nor work and my balance is off. What can I do?

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

you might have residual labyrynthitis. this is a condition where the viral syndrome clears off the body, but the imbalance remains because the effects remain in the ear

i would suggest meeting an ent doctor to have a look at the ear

meanwhile i would suggest you to get tested with a PTA

you might also try tablets like cinnarizine and betahistidine

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.
