in july of 08 i woke up one morning, my right ear starting feeling as if it was tightening all of a sudden, then i started getting dizzy and feeling sick to my stomach, it was the starting of vertigo, which i had never had or heard of before...my husband took me immediately to the doctor, he checked me and said i am swollen in nose and glands, he gave me meclizine and told me to take it every 8 hours....that was all!..over the next couple weeks i started getting vertigo whenever it felt like my ear was starting to open it would last 2 hours to 10 hours, not getting any answers from my doctor, i went to the emergency rm. at the hospital, they took a regular cat scan, and told me my sinuses were filled with fluid and my eustation tube in my right was filled, and that the fluid looks as if it was in there for a long time, they went over a lot of questions with me, and they said a very long dose of antibiotics would eventually shrink the swelling and then clear the tubes...well its been almost 2 years now and i havent had vertigo in over a year, cause my right ear wont open..i have a deviated septum and both ears hurt, sinuses wont drain, i get infections, my doctor wont keep me on antibiotics for longer then a month, so infections comes back even worse, now my ears hurt i get soreness by cheekbones and eyebrows, and even back of my head from left ear to right ear is sore, feels like bruises, i finally went to ent and without even asking me anyquestions she said i have menieres disease, cause my hearing test showed i cant hear certain high pitch sounds, and my eardrum moves in my ear, so it cant be blocked eustation tubes. i am waiting for the hospital to call me to make an appointment for cat scan of sinuses, i am worried sick, every ache in my ears makes me feel like i am going to loose my hearing...i have so many symptoms of allergies and my entire head is filled with fluid, i can feel it. i hope all this makes sense, as i cannot possible explain everything i am feeling..but sick of air noise in my right ear, and when i move my head it feels like glands swollen and like someone is pulling at the inside of my ears...left ear usually bothers me more then right, although right ear is the ear with air noise, and sometimes it sounds like a watch ticking or keys hitting together..make sense??? probably not, but i tried to explain what i can...please can someone write me back, i am so sick to my stomach with all of this....thank u so much........
