doctors are trained to diagnose and treat
conditions that affect the ear, nose, and throat,
including those that cause vertigo. During your
appointment, the ENT doctor will likely ask you
questions about your symptoms, medical history,
and any medications you are taking. They may also
perform a physical exam, including a neurological
exam and a hearing test, to help determine the
cause of your vertigo.

symptoms may persist for several months or even
years. People with vertigo are often advised to
avoid activities that can trigger symptoms, such
