Dear lybrate-user, you have already done several tests all pointing towards the fact that your vertigo is due to your ear problem and your brain. Such conditions require a thorough vestibular (ear) and neuro-otological (brain) evaluation) before any drug therapy be started. Though how you managed to get all these tests done is a wonder on its own. Yours sincerely.
