Wanna know if this problem is season-related. Yours occurs in Feb. and Aug., mine Jun. then followed by Oct. til Dec. (the worst, hospitalized 2x aside from out-patient I.V. drips many times). Thought it is gone coz Jan- Apr. there was no attack. Until i started feeling fullness in my right ear again w/ hearing difficulty and tinnitus worse than before.followed by dizziness 3x last week alone. It is bearable now but still finding right cure for this. Not satisfied w/ docs here but want to undergo MRI again to rule out Acoustic Neuroma i learned within this MedHelp site. I'm 50 yo, female so i can relate to your problem. Does menopause contribute to this problem?
Your story is exactly same as mine!Been looking for someone like u for me to get hope for cure.Here in Japan docs can just give temporary relief and say "no cure u have to live w/ it! Hope to get updates from u
Sounds awfully much like Meniere's disease. See a neuro-otologist, also spelled neurotologist--these are specialists in the inner ear.
Good luck,

In your post entitled "dizziness" you stated:
"...I was awakened by feeling very dizzy, it felt like my inside of brains were spinning
also have a weird noise or sensation in my right ear...I do have a history of vertigo, but it has never been like this before."
Your experience is precisely my experience per above post. But my right ear is usually clogged for a few days before the night you describe finally arrives.
Today I went back to my primary care physician for the first time since the initial vertigo experiences of 2 years ago. He does not think my episodes are allergy-related. So now begins the battery of tests: I go to the ENT specialist in a week and the neurologist the week after. CAT, MRI etc. loom on the horizon. In the meantime, I take Claritin-D in the daytime and hope the routine staves off another right ear clog/vertigo bout until the next "scheduled" episode come February.
