Hello I am Dr Lakshmi. Vertigo is a symptom, much like fever, and can arise from a variety of underlying causes — from inner ear issues (vestibular disorders) to neurological or even systemic conditions. Since you are young (30 years), it’s essential to do a full assessment.
You mentioned consulting both ENT and neurologists with partial relief from medications. In such cases, a comprehensive neuro-vestibular evaluation is critical. This includes:
Detailed history and examination.
Hearing assessment.
Vestibular function tests (like VNG, VHIT, or caloric test).
MRI/CT scan of the brain and temporal bones.(if not already done).
Blood tests to rule out metabolic or autoimmune causes.
Balance and gait assessment.
Next Steps
consult ENT when you have the giddiness episode.
Health Tips
Avoid sudden head movements.
Hydrate well and maintain regular sleep.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol and Monosodium glutamate.
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) helps in many chronic or unresolved cases.

Hi, I am Dr. Atul Kumar Nimawat MS ENT.
you’ve been experiencing vertigo for the past 3 months. Chronic vertigo can be distressing and may stem from various causes. Since you’ve already consulted multiple ENT specialists and neurologists with limited relief, it’s important to consider a comprehensive evaluation to determine the underlying issue.
Common causes of persistent vertigo include:
• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
• Vestibular Migraine
• Ménière’s Disease
• Vestibular Neuritis/Labyrinthitis
• Cervical Spondylosis
• Central causes (neurological disorders)
• Anxiety-related dizziness
Next Steps
1. Accurate Diagnosis: A detailed clinical evaluation including videonystagmography (VNG), audiometry, MRI (if not done), and vestibular function tests may be required.
2. Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT): If the cause is peripheral (inner ear related), VRT has shown excellent long-term results.
3. Lifestyle & Dietary Modifications: For conditions like Ménière’s disease or vestibular migraine, reducing salt, caffeine, and stress can help.
4. Follow-up with a Vertigo Specialist: Some ENT specialists or neurologists focus specifically on vertigo/balance disorders — visiting one may provide clarity.
Health Tips
A combination of accurate diagnosis, physical maneuvers (like Epley for BPPV), therapy, and appropriate medication usually yields good results.
