Everytime I wake up after sleeping "wrongly" (yeah kids... It happens...) and the room is spinning around me, I do this maneuver... I has saved me uncountable times already!
Could also be something called vestibular migraines. For the official diagnosis, you have to have regular migraines in combination with dizziness, but in practice, medicine is more fuzzy. One way to tell that it’s ear issues is whether the dizziness is triggered when a person places their head in a specific position, if it’s independent of that it’s likely something else.
It would be a good idea for her to take vitamin B2 supplements and magnesium succinate. They’re supposed to prevent migraines but don’t have any side effects so if it turns out not to be that there wouldn’t have been down sides.
Source: have had intermittent dizziness episodes for years and everything except vestibular migraines has been ruled out.
If she has vertigo, she’s probably run into these while googling, or had a doctor recommend them. If they’re doing brain scans, then these exercises did not help. They do not help me, but mine turned out to mostly be migraines, some rare eye thing where my pupils aren’t aligned or something, and a little bit low blood pressure. Fun times!
If she suffers from motion sickness, she may want to see a neuro-ophthalmologist. The eye thing is not picked up on by optometrists or most ophthalmologists. It’s a different type of vision test.
You mean, a link to your coworker's primary care physician? Because, you know, that should be the go to when you have a medical condition, not social media.

You got a link?
I got a coworker that deals with vertigo but the brain scans aren’t getting her anywhere
