Hello,
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Chronic vertigo should be evaluated by three specialist- neurologist, ENT surgeon and a physician.
The cause may be a dilatation of semicircular canals, or malpositioned otoconia to result in BPPV.
There can be a vestibular Schwannoma or any pathology in the brain.
After detailed examination the cause should be finalised and should be treated appropriately. Then you should decide about other issues you have mentioned
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.
