Hello Everyone,

So short story I had a really bad ear infection that lead to me getting dizziness and nausea which added to my anxiety. Once the infection was gone I still got dizzy here and there and sick so I stopped taking all sinus and allergy stuff I was taking to see if that was it. Some symptoms were because of them but my ears still felt full. I went back to the ENT and he told me that I started clenching my jaw which in turn was making my head hurt, dizzy and my ears full because my jaw was swollen. I would of never guessed that. I now take Excedrin and use a microwavable heating bad for heating with moisture. I still get a little dizzy from time to time no where as bad as it was so it is manageable but I still don't feel comfortable to drive. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and how do you help with the dizziness and other symptoms? Thank you.
