Hi
Welcome in H.C.M.
I understand your concern, your clinical history indicates for labyrinthitis which is most of the times is viral. Second possibility is of B.P.P.N.
As far as agent orange is concern it is unlikely but if you devlop problem only after taking it than it matters.
At present you should take-
1- Low salt diet.
2- Tab Cinnarzin or betahistin hydrochloride.
3- Rest.
I hope above will help you.
Thanks for consulting H.C.M.
