Hi, really hope someone can help or offer advice...

I am in Hotel Quarantine in Perth Australia .. having just landed from the UK. I landed on Saturday midday. so five days ago

The flight has brought on bad dizziness and nausea.

6 years ago i had a similar issue with my inner ear/dizziness which went away slowly over time(a year or so). There was never a conclusion to what helped fix it back then.

I have an ongoing health condition (m.e/CFS) which was diagnosed in 2018 due to an onset of food poisoning in 2018.

I haven't had inner ear / balance issues for at least 3/4 years now so am concerned about this quite a lot.

As i am in Hotel Quarantine i am unable to leave the room and have very little view of horizon so feel completely 'ungrounded' and still feel like i'm travelling. Obviously due to covid restrictions i can't leave the room to see more horizon which has helped in the past.

I am getting some headaches and earaches on and off at a score of 5/10 for pain level.

I have been speaking to the DR on call here at the hotel but need am looking for more advise please whilst I wait to get out of the hotel in 10 or so days..

Many thanks
