Hi,
You have to check your blood pressure and sugar level first for primary work up. If they comes normal than inner ear infection should be ruled out by Otoscopy ear examination. It's advisable to check your hemoglobin level as well because anemia can lead dizziness. According to the cause-specific treatment given. Until than betahistine can be prescribed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
