Vertigo is a symptom. 
I see this all the time in my practice.
Here's a link with more than you wanted to know:

<http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/dizziness/DS00435/DSECTION=causes>

Fortunately, it's usually self-limited, most commonly is BPPV or vestibular 
neuronitis.
Meclizine is of minimal help, despite being used widely, it's main effect is 
sedation.
Lorazepam is much more effective.
If it persists or recurs, she needs an evaluation by an Otolaryngologist.

HTH,
Phil
