Suggest Treatment For Vertigo

I have been experiencing vertigo while lying down and also if I turn my head to one side or the other. Head movement to look up also causes dizziness. My eyes feel like they are out of control when I am lying down and make a head movement to the left or right. I initially thought I was having a stroke. Any thoughts on how long this can last?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having dizziness and vertigo associated with head movements.
This indicates problems neck involving the cervical region as a probable cause.
This requires treatment by use of anti vertigo drugs. This requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause by radiological investigations like x ray or CT scan.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
