My mother is suffering from vertigo for the last 7 years. She has undergone treatment from various doctors including neurologists and ent specialists. She had even taken physiotherapy sittings. But there has been no improvement in her condition. She still gets high intensity episodes of vertigo on a regular basis. And most of the times she gets it when she turns left or right while sleeping or when she gets up or when she lie down. She has not had a sound sleep for the last 7 years. She constantly remains in the fear of having an episode everytime she goes on a bed. Neurologists say it's due to migraine. Ent specialists say it's BPPV. None of the treatment has really worked so far. She is still suffering. Can anyone help???

Vertigo can happen due to disbalance of 3 system in our body
Eye visual acuity
Vestibular system of ear
Cervical vertebrae
So very commonly people are suffering from Vit D3 deficiency due to less sun exposure and hence less calcium absorption and resulting in cervical arthritis or spondylosis and vertigo.
Next Steps
Electronystagmography
Vit D3, Serum Calcium
XRay or cervical spine
Vestibular sedative
Calcium medicine and Vit D 3 medicine if needed.
