Dizziness/Fishbowl effect. NOT SINUSES

HI,

Recently, I've had several tests done related to sinuses. CT scans came back clear but I've been bed ridden for a week and a half now. Been on several round of Steroids and Antibiotics.

I get up and walk around, my eyes can't focus, when I walk straight I feel like things are rocking. And just an over all weird feeling in my head. When Im out in public, i get that weird fishbowl effect. Some smelly wax does come out of my ear but nothing significant.

Any ideas? I feel like I'm going crazy...

Thanks for the heads up. I had been suffering from sinus infections in the past. Unless that triggered this possible inner ear thing.

It is possible that you may have an inner ear infection.  The inner ear is where the balance mechanism is.  Antibiotics will not settle an inner ear infection.

Doctors do prescribe medication that is used for motion sickness.

Get the doctor to examine your ears as you may need them syringing if there is a build up of wax in the ear canal.

With regard to your eye problem, this may or may not be connected, so I would advise that you get your eyes checked out.

I should also mention they have me on allergy meds for about 5 days now. It's not doing any good.
