[|AI|]  Hello. I have been through you question and understand your concern. Vertigo can be central or peripheral with the second option being a benign situation and generally lasts from 2 to 6 weeks. It can be intermittent, but you should be symptom free for a period of time to be called peripheral. There are some other situations where vertigo is persisting, but it should be associated with tinnitus (noise inside the ear) and hypoacusia. The central nervous system involvement as well has different objective features like weakness or numbness of the face, difficulties swallowing or talking or even more moving. Since it is persisting for such a long time it is mandatory to have a neurological consult to have you have a neurological objective examination to see if it is a real vertigo or unsteadiness or both, with the latter involving other neurological structures such as the posterior columns. Once you have this consultation it will more clear about your situation. Do not hesitate on scheduling a neurological consult. Hope this helps. Please feel free for further questions
