HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Since you now have a sore throat along with your vertigo, it is possible that the vertigo is linked to a viral infection.
It may be due to an inner ear condition called vestibular neuronitis though this does not usually cause blurred vision.
If the blurred vision continues, you may need imaging of the brain to rule out more serious causes.
There are alternative medications that you can use instead of the vertin, your doctor can prescribe one for you since this is not helping you.
I hope this helps
