It can vary: Depending on the cause it can last anywhere from seconds to hours, weeks or years. Each cause has its own time period. If you are concerned about a particular case please give more specifics.

Depends on the cause: There are many conditions that can cause dizziness and/or vertigo. Is this the result of trauma? A detailed medical history and examination are required to identify the cause. A timeframe for anticipated resolution can then be established.
