Vertigo can make it dangerous to drive, operate equipment, or perform tasks requiring balance and concentration. If your symptoms have kept you from work or school, SwiftCareMD can connect you with a licensed physician who reviews your case and issues a signed note — without you needing to leave home while experiencing dizziness.
Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness characterized by a false sense of spinning or movement. The most common cause is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), in which tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear become dislodged.
Other causes include vestibular neuritis, Ménière's disease, and migraine-associated vertigo. Symptoms can range from brief episodes of spinning to prolonged incapacitation with nausea, vomiting, and inability to walk steadily.
Vertigo is not a condition to push through at work — particularly for anyone operating vehicles, machinery, or tools. It is also genuinely disabling in its acute phase for desk workers who experience nausea and visual disturbance.
Medical documentation confirms that your absence was clinically appropriate, not a choice.
Complete a brief intake form describing your symptoms: onset, duration, triggers, frequency, accompanying nausea, and functional impact. No video visit required.
A physician licensed in your state reviews your intake asynchronously. If the clinical picture supports a rest recommendation, they issue a signed note.
Your professionally formatted note is emailed to you as a signed PDF, ready for submission.
This service is particularly valuable for those experiencing an acute vertigo episode who cannot safely drive to a clinic, employees in safety-sensitive roles who cannot work while symptomatic, and anyone who needs same-day documentation. Available in the U.S., 24/7 live chat support.
In-person care for vertigo costs $150–$300 and requires travel — which can be challenging or unsafe when you're experiencing active dizziness. SwiftCareMD costs $34.99 flat and requires only a few minutes on a phone or computer.
If a note isn't clinically appropriate for your case, we offer a full money-back guarantee.
