The duration of vertigo can vary widely depending on the cause.

• Some episodes last seconds to minutes (like BPPV)
• Others may last hours to days
• In some cases—especially after a concussion—symptoms can persist for weeks or longer

You should consider seeking medical attention if:

• Vertigo is severe, persistent, or worsening
• It follows a head injury or accident
• You’re experiencing balance issues, falls, or difficulty walking
• It’s affecting your ability to work, drive, or function اليومية
• You notice additional symptoms like headaches, vision changes, or confusion

Early evaluation can help identify the cause and prevent symptoms from becoming chronic.
