Vertigo is a sensation of feeling off balance. If you have these dizzy spells, you might feel like you are spinning or that the world around you is spinning. These are usually caused by BPPV(benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), Meniere's disease, Vestibular neuritis or labrynthitis and less often in head or neck injury, brain problems such as stroke or tumor, certain medications that cause ear damage and migraine headaches. It is likely that the hyperacidity that you feel is a different problem in whole. You will require a betahistine and antacid to control the condition. These following steps may help with controlling the gastric problem: - Don't skip meals, you may not feel like eating but in such conditions you should have the reduced amount in frequent intervals(i.e. 3 square meals broken down to 5 or 6 as you can tolerate) and slowly increase as you get better. - Reduce/ Avoid spicy,fried, fatty, junk and oily food - Avoid/ Limit drinking coffee, tea and carbonated drinks to once a day - Exercise regularly (30-45mins per day and maintain a healthy weight as per your BMI, you're current BMI suggests obesity) - Increase daily intake of water to 3 liters - Avoid/Stop smoking and drinking if you have the habit - Reduce stress through methods such as yoga/meditation.

B.P.P.V or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is a condition caused by a mechanical defect in the inner ear. Calcium carbonate crystals (otoconia) which remain embedded in the utricle get dislodged due to various reasons and float freely in the semi circular canals. During head movements they stimulate the vestibular end organs and cause the sensation of vertigo. Particle repositioning techniques, such as Epley's maneuver can cure the condition. During an episode of vertigo the vagus nerve is stimulated, which in turn gives rise to symptoms like nausea , vomiting, gastric acid secretion & sometimes bowel movement. So acidity is not the cause, but the effect.
