Labyrinthitus / vision issues / help!?
Posted , 5 users are following.
Started feeling dizzy about a week ago - no war pain although I do suffer from regular ear infections.
This time though my vision is kinda weird - struggling to focus and almost as if things arnt real.
Doctors said both ears were too full of wax to see and said labyrinthitus - can this cause these symptoms?
I thought a few days ago I was improving but then next minute I was in bed for 48 hours - I wouldn't describe it as dizzyness more unable to focus/loss of lucidity ?

Well a week later - I have had my ears microsuctioned privately as I didn't want to wait two weeks for an appointment to be syringed.
I should mention I got I such a state a few nightsbefore that I ended up at A&E having massive panick attack. ECG was fine.
After the microsucktion I felt no immediate improvement (the doctor had said it could be impacted wax) although a lot of wax came out.
The blurred vision however has gone as has the dizzyness. I am still struggling badly with this 'spaced out feeling like I'm dreaming' they are treating me with beta blockers for anxiety but I'm not convinced!

So I have now been off work for one month. I am waiting on blood test results to rule other potential causes.
I still feel constantly light headed and the feeling that the world isn't real/spaced out like I've had several beers.
The latest doctor says this is the virus still in my vestibular system.
Seems worse from around tea time and into the evening - I dread going to bed.
I am on propranolol to chill me out but can't shake the spaced out feeling. I have amoxicillin that I didn't take initially and am wondering if it's worth trying them in case it's bacterial ? Will I be ok taking with propranolol?
