@gerberdaisy19 not sure who you were addressing but between me, my daughter and my 95 year old mother we have varied experiences with vertigo. I have had at least 3 kinds!

In our experience the best provider for this is a PT with expertise in vertigo. If BPPV then eye movements on a screen will diagnose and they can do and teach maneuvers to cure it (I found some online!).

If vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis, there are exercises too, for instance staring at an "x" on the wall and moving head back and forth, or using two cards and looking up and down, back and forth and diagonally between them.

Cervical vertigo is maybe not recognized by I find that Ben Gay and BioFreeze on my neck helps with that, don't know why.

For central vertigo (brain-based) I have found I have to wait for it to pass and walking straight sometimes helps. That is one of my diagnostic codes as well as "vestibular migraine" which is the same thing- brain-based.

Oops sorry, Windyshores, I was addressing you. Yeah I have vestibular migraines that they thought was Meniere’s. Still working on it
My PT experiences weren’t the best but the timing was also not good. Worth another look (when I can actually get there!)
