Vertigo/Giddiness
I'm experiencing intense giddiness/vertigo when turning my head, getting up, etc. and nausea for the past 2 days. Yesterday, I also had slight headaches lasting for 5 mins and burning eyes. I was taking Stugeron as advised by my friend (radiologist) for vertigo. I was also asked to stay in dark room for 2 days. Today I'm also experiencing blurry eyes along with vertigo. I'm unable to even get up from bed because of intense giddiness. How should I treat the symptoms at home? Is it a serious condition? What doctor should I consult?
