How Can Ear Problems Cause Dizziness? | Ear Problems

Dizziness is a very common complaint. When we say dizziness, we mean anything from light-headed, woozy, spacey, imbalance, difficulty walking, to the extreme of the room spinning around.

If you have dizziness and you are an adult, your first stop should be with your Internist. Because dizziness can be caused by a systemic illness, such as hypertension, or anemia or an arrhythmia of your heart.

Dizziness can be caused by a neurological problem, such as a stroke, or some brain disease. And so you want a physician to take a very detailed, very, very good history from you to be sure that no medically treatable problem is overlooked.

When your Internist fails to identify the cause of dizziness, they will oftentimes refer you to a neurologist for further evaluation, or perhaps to a Otolaryngologist .

The organ of balance is located within your inner ear, and as a result, you may find yourself in the otolaryngologist's office. When you present to the 0tolaryngologist , or the ear, nose and throat physician, the ear, nose and throat physician should be focusing on your related symptoms that may be associated with dizziness.

So, for example, the otolaryngologist besides asking you about the quality of your dizziness, the frequency of your dizziness, what makes your dizziness better, and what makes your dizziness bad, should be asking if you have ever had any ear infections, if you've ever had any ear surgery. Do you have a noise in your ear? Does your ear feel stuffy? Do you have a hearing loss? Have you had any recent head trauma? Does loud sound make you dizzy?

One of the very current diagnosis relative to dizziness, is that dizziness may be a reflection of a migraine headache. So you should be cognizant of whether you have migraine headaches, or whether there's a family history of migraine headaches.

In order to evaluate a patient who's complaining of dizziness, you will probably need a hearing test. You may need some balance tests, and you may need some medical imaging, which includes things like MIR scans and CAT scans.

I don’t have dizziness at the moment, but it’s quite rare on my half of my ears providing the balance I need which occurs in the vestibular system.

Ok i am lady of 63 year old i was born as a Turner Syndrome with speech and hearing problems so lately i been feeling dizzy at night getting up out of the bed i had my left pellet operated on when i was ten years of age. But it needs another operation but the specialist will not do it because of a blood vessel behind it is big so now i am trying to understand all of this. Went to the family doctor he said my dizziness is from my ears but all the the family doctor is doing for me is giving me pills to ease it of what is a good solution for me

If an audio test revealed some nerve damage in one ear and it always feels congested, you have constant mild vertigo, nausea that never ceases, loud high pitched tinnitus in the problem ear, and the doctor says there's fluid behind the drum at each visit then what on earth can you do. I have tried Stemitil, Omanis, nasanex, prednisone, ephedrine, antibiotics, nasal spray decongestant, saline rinse with pulmicort and nothing works, what is left to try?

[cryoo]
