dizziness and eye movement

by princes801, Apr 13, 2008 02:57PM

My sinus and ears feel stopped up, yet there is no congestion in my sinus. When I move my eyes I hear in my head a swishy sound and feel a bit dizzy. This has been going on for several weeks and my general practicioner seems puzzled. Please help

You should see an ENT specialist for a full examination, tuning fork testing, and audiometry. There are a number of reasons for fulness in the ears, and you need a solid diagnosis. Conditions that can cause this include hydrops (elevated inner ear pressure).

Hope this helps. Good luck!
