As a fellow sufferer, yes, it can. However, many things can cause dizziness. You should be eveluated by a dr to make sure there isn't anything more serious going on.
Basically because the eustacian tube is not functioning properly, it does not open and allow fluids to drain from the ear as it should. It is actually the build up of the fluid and presure that causes the dizziness.
You could try a three day rotation of using Afrin. Use Afrin for 3 days and then don't use Afrin for 3 days. DO NOT use Afrin for more than 3 days at a time or you could develop rebound congestion (be adicted to Afrin).
If you haven't seen a dr, you should to make sure that there isn't anything more serious going on.
I don't believe so but I've come to be wrong on other issues. Dizziness is either a probloem with the brain or a problem with the semicircular canals, which hide in the inner ear. The Eustachian tube links the throat with the middle ear and many can have tube problems as well as other ear problems simultaneously. As an example, I was searching for the reason for my ear problem and all my symptoms said Patulous Eustachian tube. Ended up being a semicircular canal problem simply because of one symptom I never thought was a symptom.
