How long does a dizzy spell last?

Episodes of vertigo can last a few seconds, a few minutes, a few hours, or even a few days. In general, however, an episode of vertigo typically lasts just seconds to minutes. Vertigo isn't a disease or condition. Instead, it's a symptom of a condition.

Can dizzy spells be cured?

Dizziness often gets better without treatment. Within a couple of weeks, the body usually adapts to whatever is causing it. If you seek treatment, your doctor will base it on the cause of your condition and your symptoms. It may include medications and balance exercises.
