A member asked:

I easily get dizzy when there's a sudden change of position. (+) vertigo and was followed by headache w/c even lasted for a week. what does it mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Migraine-associated?: We know migraines can cause vertigo. Usually once migraines are treated with triptans the vertigo subsides. If it's due to an ear problem should be treated with pt(vestibular rehab); works best. Thanks!
