Dizziness and lightheadedness that worsens specifically during screen use could point towards cervicogenic dizziness (from neck strain) or screen-related sensory mismatch rather than a pure inner ear issue, which is why Vertin may not be fully effective. Posture during screen use and screen time habits should be addressed alongside medication.
Next Steps
Take regular breaks from screens, check your neck posture, and follow up with your doctor if the increased dose does not help within a few days. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

It appears that you are suffering from either:
1. Neck strain
2. Digital eye strain
3. Sensory mismatch from screen (Cybersickness)
Next Steps
Immediate steps are:
1. Stop your work and lie down
2. Drink water
3. Use the 20-20-20 rule: look at something 20 feet away, for 20 seconds, every 20 minutes.
1. Correct your screen and visual habits
2. Correct your physical and postural habits
3. Adjust your workstation.
Health Tips
If you still do not get relief, you may have BPPV.

Dizziness and light headness means different things to different people
Vertin is given only for vertigo - that only for specific types
Do you have any headache
Is it worsened when you bend your neck up and down or turning side to side in bed
Do you work long hours sitting and working in a same position
You need detailed consultation before I can help you
Kindly contact me
