dizziness

[vearlberg]

I have recurring dizziness.  I am particularly curious about allergies, as I have addressed all other possible causes that I am aware of.  Episodes started at about one month apart, but very severe (repeated vomiting); now more mild but every ten days or so.  Symptomes do not match Mayo Clinic definition of Meniere's.  Again, most curious about possible allergies.  Thanks.   Earl

Allergies, alone, wouldn't explain dizziness and vomiting.  Allergies could affect the inner ear and cause an out-of-balance feeling, similar to what people experience during an episode of motion sickness.  There's no allergy that I'm aware of that would directly cause dizziness/vomiting.

You mentioned Meniere's disease, but vertigo isn't always Meniere's.  Vertigo is more subject to the coming and going that you describe than most other problems that cause dizziness/vomiting: https://www.webmd.com/brain/vertigo-symptoms-causes-treatment#1  My mom has vertigo - it happens to her just every once in a while, and they haven't been able to find a specific cause.

Is there a reason you suspect allergies?

Thank you for your kind response.  My curiosity about a possible allergic connection comes from comments on forums on the internet.   I suppose it reflects the desperate search for answers that one pursues when the condition is severe or chronic.   It is truly taking a large part of life away from me.  Thanks again.   Earl
