Hi
What is your age , sex?
Do you have any cervical pain? Or cervical problem?

Good Luck

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

If brain CT is not suggestive of anything serious then you can go for Magnetic Resonance Angiography, blood clotting tests, Echocardiogram etc..
As the symptoms can be due to hypotension also therefore a continuous blood pressure monitoring is also a must..

Hope this information helps..

hi,
this may be a provisional diagnosis and not the final diagnosis as the findings are not 100 % suggestive of VBI,BPPV.
Further investigations are necessary.
thanks

The diagnosis is suitable for the symptoms and veretbtobasilar insufficiency and benign paroxismal positional vertigo are coherent …
So I recommend a neck duplex scan,xray.
Neurology doctor can help treat the bppv in a couple of sessions..
