I Worry

Yesterday and this morning, the room spins when I'm laying down. I feel weird. I don't know what it is. I'm not nauseated or in pain; just dizzy. It settles, but if I shift at all, the spinning starts again. I feel this slightest pressure in my head. It's not pain. Maybe it's an ear problem. I don't know. I want it to stop on its own. I don't want to see a doctor. I'll have to if it keeps up. I'm just sick of worrying over everything, every pain, every weird feeling, being tired and weak. When I ignored things before, they got so much worse. The dizziness is new. So I don't know what it is. One more day. I'm hoping it stops.

Okay. Can't afford to lose my hearing. =[

It's probably just an inner ear thing. But if you do have an ear infection, you really should go see a doctor. Ear infections can damage hearing if not treated.

I suffer similarly. Mine took years of varying diagnosis. It is Menieres Disease. The vertigo you describe could be that or migraine associated vertigo or positional vertigo. Go see a doctor it probably won't go of it isn't an ear infection. I've suffered years with issues and I hate it. Good luck

Possible ear or sinus infection can cause dizziness if it's more along the lines of vertigo they have simple exercises you can do my mom has it bad.oh also being pregnant can cause it or hormone changes hope you feel better but going to Dr is best I could give you a list obviously lol a lot of meds can cause it too

On good days yes on bad days no. Mine is not curable. Most days I'm at least "wobbly" but hearing loss tinnitus and distorted hearing are more of an issue. Headaches I can deal with

Opalescent, I will. The idea of rupturing an eardrum scares me enough, I'll definitely get it checked out to see if it is my ears that's the problem. Why a chiropractor though?
Sounds like labyrinthitis - infection of the ear canals. You need to see a doctor and get antibiotics as it will only get worse.

Head and neck misalignment can cause vertigo. It might be worth getting checked.

Go to the doctor. I would also recommended a chiropractor.

An ENT will tell you otherwise it is a crap shoot! :o

But which ear is the traitor? I don't even know. 😬
Google Ménièr's Disease!

Nunos50, that's terrible. I couldn't go years putting up with this. Sorry they took so much time to figure it out. Is it manageable for you now? =[

Go to the doctor, it's possibly an inner ear infection or could be something to do with your sinuses etc.

Well technically speaking you do have another ear...
But you definitely don't WANT to lose any hearing.

matureman6969, I have. I never hoped more for an inner ear infection in my life. 😓
I'll find out Wednesday.

It is best to go now...that could surely be an ear issue and those are not good to leave hanging..in fact if you do and your ear drum bursts you could end up with hearing loss. I know it sucks to go to the doctor but go.

Inner ear infection is my first thought.
