I have been battling balance and vertigo for almost 8 years. It seemed to almost always come on in the springtime. It was crippling I missed a lot of time from work. I have been diagnosed with everything. I started thinking it was allergies so I took zyrtec claritan and suffered thru it. I did the epley maneuver 100 times. But last year I realized I always had a small amount of congestion in my right sinuses when I was going thru it. I decided I would go to one of those small clinics in the grocery store and tell them I had a sinus infection. I figured out real quick it was some type of infection after 24 hours of antibotics I was a new person. Every year it would last for 6 weeks or so but last year only one week. 2 weeks ago it came on again so I went to the clinic the next day got antibiotics within 24 hours it was gone thank god. I do get it other times during the year but not as bad and it goes away quick. Hope this helps someone.

    Glad you found a solution. What were your symptoms? I am spaced out but do not have vertigo.

      Mostly balance. I would have trouble making it across the room. I almost always would feel a little pressure in my right ear.

    I was not showing many signs of a sinus infection only a little pressure around my ear and a very slight nasal congestion but I read somewhere a sinus infection doesnt always show all sighns. So convinced the clinic I had one just to see if it would help and it sure did.
