Do vertigo symptoms ever last more than a few weeks?

I had a severe case of vertigo a few weeks ago and I am still a bit dizzy occasionally. Thought I'd see if anyone else can identify. Thank you!

Hmmm...I have vertigo but it's only lasted a week at most. Check with your doctor. I found later that I had a thyroid problem that leads to dizziness. Once I treated the thyroid problem, my vertigo went aways.

Good luck!

I was just talking to a co-worker today and she has that problem. She said it would come and go. But she as it under control now. You should go to the doctors and let him know. If he doesn't do any test, than go and get a second opinion. There is a reason for this you and should get to the bottom of it as soon as you can.

Middle ear infections are usually the cause... BUT here is why you should be concerned.

My mother had bad vertigo last summer, and they treated her for an ear infection. But that wasn't it. They ended up finding a small tumor in her brain near the fifth cranial nerve, which is associated with the vestibular system (or sense of balance).

I hope this isn't the case for you, but you might want to see a doctor and have some tests.
