    Hi,Nicolla, sorry you haven't been feeling well recently. vertigo is horrible and annoying.

    i suffer from vestibular migraine.

    Has your doctor referred you to any specialists at all, to test your balance or anything or given you any special exercises?or do you have problems with your ears or is it on one side of your head only?

    everyone suffers differently from vertigo because there are diffrent types but what helps me is trying to rule out things that make it worse or to make me more slightly comfortable.

    here are some suggestions that help me.

    • How is your diet? - i was put on a no citrus,dairy or caffeine diet. these foods made me worse.

    • organize your space to get to places easier. ok, this won't help vertigo, but what it will do is if you cant stand up straight it will help you stop bumping into things and get to the bathroom etc.

    • How is your bed?- yep, its impossible to close your eyes and sleep beacause of the spinning. But you must get really exhausted too. Make sure your pillow is flat. Get stuff off the bed. when trying to sleep put one half of the pillow covering one side of your head.

    • chemicals and fragrances- Try not use solvent sprays or air freshners of any kind. No dry cleaning. No bleach.

    • No perfumes, no spray deodrants. No candles . no bug spray ,These sometimes can make it worse.

    • clothing, Don't wear tight clothes like belts or carry heavy handbags or backpacks.

    • keep a sick bucket by your side.

    • Dont get water or wind in your ears.

    Some of these help me.

    spirulina herb.

    ginger.

    vitamin d.

    i hope some of these help.:)

    i suggest you go back to the doctor and push to see an ENT specialist.
