Experiencing Extreme Vertigo - Need Advice!

Hey friends! I have started experiencing extreme vertigo (as in, can’t drive, can barely walk, etc.) out of nowhere. I’ve never experienced it before, but it started about a week ago and hasn’t gone away. I had to call in sick to work and school every day this week because I’m too dizzy to do anything. Has anyone experienced this, and if so, what can I do?? My Dr thought it was BPPV, but I went back this week and they said maybe it’s an ear infection. I’ve been on antibiotics and still not getting any relief. Help! <3
