What Causes Recurrent Vertigo?

My 36 year old son has bouts of vertigo. It makes him sick and has to go to bed for about five hours. He was having them once a month or so but recently has increased to every two weeks. He lives in N.C. with his own family, about 10 hours away from us. I wanted to check into this for him. Is there anything that will help him?

Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you!

His symptoms are suggestive of an inner ear disorder. For this reason, I recommend consulting with an ENT specialist and performing labyrinthine tests to investigate for this possible disorder. Some blood lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes) and a brain MRI are needed too.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards!
