For the past 2 weeks i've been stuck with both my ears blocked, i can barely hear anything, i have to ask my father and mother to speak louder as i can only hear the sound of my own heartbeat and sometimes there will be small pain. I've been constantly coughing and taken many medicines, such as vitamin c or other substances, nothing helps!

I've been to the doctors all of them said my lungs are clear and its just a cold or the virus thats been lately spreading around.

And this week i'm starting to feel more dizzy i would stand in one place and feel pressure creep over me and would feel dizzy then get quick shortness of breath, or feel randomly anxious!!

My mother is really worried but both my parents think it'll go away. But its painful and i haven't been getting better. 

Im 12 and I've had my thonsils removed. I would really like some help!!! Even a little bit of advise will do!

thanks x Julia

    Hi Julia - Fullness in the ears and dizziness may resolve on their own, or they may be a sign of a more serious problem. Vestibular (inner ear) disorders are very difficult to diagnose. The best thing to do is to see a specialist - not just any ENT, but one that has experience with vestibular disorders. The Vestibular Disorders Association has an online provider directory and many helpful educational resources you might want to check out. By informing yourself you'll be able to advocate for your own healthcare with your doctors. Good luck!
