Vertigo symptoms now with a headache
I have been diagnosed with benign positional vertigo. I have been dizzy for 3 weeks now, taking meclazine and most days valum. I haven't taken valum the last couple of days as I am working. I see a specialist on Friday, but I've now started having horrid headaches. Do I need to do anything or is this normal?

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or BPPV is not a condition which can be treated just by medications. You need to under a maneuver known as Epley maneuver for immediate relief. Your headaches probably are not related to vertigo or it may be due to medications themselves
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment
