Your persistent dizziness despite vertigo treatment could be related to your previous neck injury, inner ear issues, or other neurological causes. Consult your doctor for a detailed evaluation to identify the exact reason and adjust treatment accordingly.

I'm sorry to hear that your dizziness has persisted despite treatment. Persistent dizziness after a neck injury can sometimes be related to issues beyond typical inner ear vertigo. Your previous neck injury might contribute to your symptoms through:

  • Cervicogenic dizziness: This type of dizziness arises from problems in the neck, such as muscle strain, joint dysfunction, or nerve irritation, which can affect balance and spatial orientation.
  • Vestibular issues: While you are taking medication like Stugeron (which contains cinnarizine, an antihistamine used for vertigo), if the underlying cause is related to neck problems or other vestibular disorders, medication alone may not fully resolve symptoms.
  • Other causes: Sometimes, persistent dizziness can be due to a combination of inner ear problems, neurological issues, or circulatory factors.

Given your history and ongoing symptoms, it would be important to:

  • Follow up with a neurologist or an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) who can perform a detailed evaluation.
  • Consider imaging studies or vestibular function tests to better understand the cause.
  • Explore physical therapy focused on the neck and vestibular rehabilitation if cervicogenic dizziness is suspected.

Please consult a specialist doctor promptly to get a thorough assessment and tailored treatment plan. If your dizziness worsens or you experience additional symptoms like severe headache, weakness, or vision changes, seek emergency care immediately.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're feeling dizzy and your vertigo medication isn't helping, especially with your past neck injury. To help me understand better, could you please share your age and gender?
