Positional Vertigo: For now over the counter motion sickness medications like dramamine (dimenhydrinate) to control the nausea. Your primary care should evaluate you and refer you to Physical Therapy for vestibular rehab. Positional vertigo is due to a malposition of tiny stones in your inner ear that signal your head position to your brain. Certain maneuvers can re-position the structures so that you aren't dizzy.
