If your vertigo is associated with the room spinning (or a sensation of movement even though you are still), and there are no other symptoms associated with this, like weakness, numbness, difficulty hearing, etc, then a trial of meclizine (start with 12.5 mg by mouth twice a day) may be helpful. A scopolamine patch from your physician may also help. If you are having symptoms of vertigo only when you move your head, I recommend going to see your doctor (or an ear nose throat specialist) to have them perform Dix-Hallpike maneuvers, as you may be suffering from BPPD. (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). If you are lightheaded when standing up but the room doesn t spin and there is no sensation of abnormal movement, you most likely are suffering from orthostatic hypotension and at this point I would recommend trying to stay well hydrated and you can consider also purchasing some over the counter compression garments for your legs.
