      I feel unwell pretty much all the time....almost like i'm getting the flu...the drunk feeling is always there...the anxiety too. The first time i had it, i had no pressure in my ears. This time i have lots. But i was reading that it is quite common for most. Pressure at the back of my head is worst when im very anxious. I have been off work for 3 weeks.

      Are you in the UK? I am in Canada. I think weather has a lot to do with our condition....low pressure outside = more pressure in our heads. I see my ENT in 3 hours to get my diagnosis. Can you believe i have already diagnosed myself? I am a worry wart....no doubt about it. I will post again later .... Debbie. PS: If you're in the UK, you're 5 hours ahead and you'll be asleep.

      Hi Lisa...my ENT thinks i have Menieres. He's not certain but he said because my symptoms came back a second time, its likely Menieres. Im not convinced....but i will go for the hearing test he recommended.

      Hi Debbie,my ent a few months ago said I might have menieres but he wasn't sure then I was told its migraines and hormones,its my ears I know but I think its some sort of bacterial infection as antibiotics up to now were getting rid of it for 3-4 weeks then it all comes back, lately its not working and I have ear pain today.how are you?,lisa

      Do you have other symptoms of Menieres? I am unbalanced and have tremendous pressure in my right ear.
