Depending on the cause, episodes of vertigo can last a few seconds, minutes, hours, or even days. If you have mild vertigo, the symptoms don’t last longer than one to two weeks. In the case of Meniere’s disease, vertigo may come and go over time or become an ongoing issue.
You may experience lightheadedness for a few seconds or minutes sometimes or every time you stand up. In a majority of the cases, the doctor determines the causes and treats your lightheadedness. But if you are taking medicines for several medical problems, finding the cause and treatment for lightheadedness can be a tough challenge. You need to work with your doctor and let them know what's working and what’s not.
