Will Prescription For Indomethacin For Migraines Also Help With Vertigo?

I have a prescription for indomethacin 50 to take two tablets for migraine headache. I am to take the medication at the beginning of the aura. My migraines are accompanied by vertigo, which seems to be increasing. I have had problems with virtigo years ago when my blood pressure was low. My blood pressure is not low; however, I am concerned about the vertigo problem. thank you, and make it a great day, danny

I suspect that you will need to conduct a bio-assay to find your answer, Some reports show vertigo being alleviated with the headache when it responds to the Indomethacin. Other reports have good resolution of headache symptoms but persistence of the vertigo. There are yet other reports that blame indomethacin for new onset of vertigo. The response may be determined somewhat by the migraine varient with which you suffer.
