Can anyone help or offer their advice?

Hi all. I'm a 25 year old female from Australia & can relate so badly to all your symptoms. I had a random spout of vertigo that lasted two weeks at the beginning of this year I was totally fine after 2 weeks. Doctors just said it was an inner ear infection. I went to Fiji in November and went on a 3 hour sail boat ride and became very sea sick. Ever since then I have not been the same. A constant fullness feeling in my ears, a full feeling in my head, alot of pressure behind my eyes, nausea at times, stiff neck and it always makes a cracking noise. I also can be sensitive to light. Had to cut out tea coffee,chocolate and salty foods. I went to see a ent specialist he's sending me for an mri and hearing test. Why are doctors so clueless and lack knowledge in regards to this?  I feel like they have no idea 

Can anyone relate? I've been doing my research, & suspect I could be suffering from a silent migraine. Any advice would be appreciated thank you

    Sounds like Meniere's Syndrome. Check out the symptoms.

    You need to go see an ENT. It sounds to me like an inner ear disturbance. Possibly bppv. I have that and when I get episodes of it my neck is all so stiff and cracks and I don't know what the correlation is. This is such an easy thing to fix if that's what it is. I would skip medication for now and try this maneuver that they will do for you that should fix it. Possibly the motion of the boat Disturbed the crystals in the inner ear. It might have been unstable since your first episode of this anyway.

      It's so strange though I've had it for over 2 months now non stop. My ear always feel full and my head is always foggy. I don't actually have vertigo though.
