Hi,
Your vertigo can be controlled with medicines. Betahistine is a very effective medicine and gives good results in almost everyone. Antihistaminic agents like dimenhydrinate and antiemetic drugs also help. Dietary and environmental changes like low salt diet, meditation and avoiding alcohol, tobacco and caffeine, are believed to be of benefit. If your symptoms do not improve with typical treatment, then surgery is an option, though there is a risk of hearing loss after surgery.
Best wishes.
