Dizziness
I have been getting dizzy spells just about every month it is always occupied by an earache, I have went to my doctor and it isn't getting better. I haven't had an MRI, but I am just sick of feeling like this and tired all the time. Medicine is just a quick fix, and never last, but then it returns again as quick as it came. I am just sick and tired of being dizzy and unable to get out of bed.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Since you have earache, probably ear is the cause of dizziness. If ear is the cause of vertigo (rotator movement of self or environment) then it could be due to benign positional vertigo, Meniere's disease, vestibular neuronitis and labyrinthitis. Other causes of dizziness are otitis media, trauma, side effects of drugs, TMJ, and fluid in ear. All these causes will have to be ruled out one by one by your ENT through specialized test. If it is blocked Eustachian tube, then doing a valsalva maneuver (Done by taking a deep breath and blowing while pinching your nostrils and closing your mouth) will help. This will help clear the secretions in the tube that connects the back of your throat with your ear.
Please consult your ENT for examination and treatment. Take care!

I wish I could go to an ENT, but I don't have health insurance, the doctor I see doesn't charge me because we are friends, but he doesn't know what else to do. I hope all goes well for you, and hopefully one day we will find an answer as to why this is happening.
