Hello,

Viral Infection may cause labyrinthitis to lead to vertigo. Eustachian tube block or vestibular neuronitis or BPPV may lead to vertigo.

Dizziness may be cardiac in origin or cerebrovascular in origin. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Get it done ECG, ENT examination and MRI brain. Use tablet Vertin 16 mg thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
