Dizziness: Treatment
Treatments for dizziness vary according to the cause or underlying condition:

• A drug called betahistine, formulated to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks, may help patients with Meniere’s disease. Very rarely, in severe cases, inner ear surgery may be necessary to treat this disorder.
  
• Aspirin may be prescribed for patients who experience decreased blood supply to the base of the brain.
  
• Viral labyrinthitis may respond to injections of drugs such as prochlorperazine and cyclizine, which often reduce the nausea, vomiting and dizziness.
  

Additionally, physical therapy helps many patients improve their balance, decrease dizziness and restore normal functioning.

Most causes of dizziness are not serious and many get better quickly without treatment. Many people find relief simply by avoiding the activities that make them dizzy. For example, getting up slowly after sitting or lying down can help.
