Suggest Treatment For Dizziness, Nausea And Vomiting

My husband is experiencing dizziness, nausea, and then vomiting. This happens sporadically without warning. He has been to a doctor and recently had a MRI for his brain and was declared unremarkable . No tumors or any other notices of any significance. What could these symptoms indicate?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Note history related to your husband having sporadic attacks of dizziness, nausea and then vomiting. MRI of the brain is unremarkable meaning normal and no cause found related to his symptoms.
My thoughts and advise:
He needs to have clinical evaluation by an ENT Surgeon and a Neurologist first to decide the cause on clinical basis.
If Cervical spondilitis is suspected, GO for MRI of the cervical vertebra with angiography to see if there is insufficiency of any of the 4 arteries that supply the brain.
ENT will take care of the cause like Benign positional vertigo and such things and advise investigations as per the findings of clinical examination.
Start the empirical treatment with the vestibular sedators.
Try to find out the positions, incidences, or anything that instigate his symptoms or even enhance it.
