    It depends on what's causing it. The first step is to go see your doctor - she/he can diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate treatment. It may be something as simple as an ear infection or "BPPV" (described below), or something rare and dangerous like a tumor (note the word "rare").

    There is a diagnosis called "benign paroxysmal positional vertigo" or BPPV (often shortened by leaving out that ugly word "paroxysmal") which is a very common cause of vertigo, and often goes away by itself. It is very treatable if more persistant, either by a doctor who knows the techniques, or by a Physical Therapist (my profession) trained in balance disorders & treatment. Here is an absolutely great article on the problem: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/benign_positional_vertigo/article_em.htm

    Remember,the FIRST thing to do is go to the doctor if the symptoms are severe and/or last longer than a day or two.

    Take good care!

    The one time I had it, the solution was plenty of water (I'd been very sick and even though id been guzzling water & gatorade I couldn't keep up and needed an IV) and they prescribed something to me. Don't remember what it was.
