It depends on the amount of blood flow your vertebral artery is getting. Vertebral artery carried blood to the brain that is why you have dizziness and vertigo because of it’s compression. You need to do a CT Angio to see how much block is there in the artery. At your age if the compression is mild or moderate physiotherapy is the initial treatment. But that again depends on the cause of compression.
