Because you have compression in the cervical spine and neuropathy. Hence the medicines. The vascular loop in the brain is only treated surgically if there is no response to medical line of treatment. Please follow up with your regular doctor .he knows what he is doing. Also physiotherapy from an experienced therapist would help.

Dear lybrate-user, I wish you speedy recovery. Now coming to your problem - vertigo is a symptom than a disease, there are many causes need to be ruled out and treat you aptly. 1) do not engage in any kind of vehicle driving, especially two wheelers (since you have vertigo) 2) some audiology evaluation also needed your cervical disc space has reduced so you need to strengthen the cervical muscles, physio therapy is required. Gabapentin will help to reduce neurological pain, in the long run the diagnosis has to be made and treated accordingly get well soon.
