When To Call A Professional
Table of Contents
Call your doctor if you have a new episode of vertigo, especially if it is associated with headache and significant coordination problems. Also, call if you have mild vertigo that persists after a couple days.
Prognosis
Most cases of vertigo last for a few hours to a few days. Symptoms caused by acute labyrinthitis almost always go away without permanent injury. Other causes of vertigo may result in symptoms that are more persistent.
