Pressure or fullness in ears?

Is mdds Menieres? I was hoping i didnt have that! Do you have pain? What meds do you use? I have no spinning vertigo or tinnitus. Just feel drunk and have pressure.

Hi Debbie  Mdds is like being on a boat 24/7 ,it's not spinning like Menieres or Virtigo ,Im only fine when I'm driving  not noticed then,but can't drive around for hours on end to feel okay .I get head pressure from having tinnitus and allergies ,Ive given up on taking meds for it ,think it gives me more probs long run .

  Brain and Spine association are good to look up  I got a 22 page booklet from them couple yrs ago. That was really helpful to me ,explained the various types of balance issues .Dont know if they still produce it ,but well worth trying to get hold of a copy Debbie .Where are you ? 

  I didn't ever think all this time on. Id still be like I am ,but we all say this  as I found out .We all wish we had the answers to questions to ridding us of this nightmare were in .

 

Hi Marlene

I am just like you....i am unbalanced all the time. I dont get spinning or even tinnitus thank goodness but i always have pressure in my head and ears. Its been going on 3 months now.

So did you go on a cruise? Is that when they diagnose you with Mdds???

Hi Debbie ,mine began after I went to an osteopath for my sinuses,think he turned my neck wrong ,was okay on the Saturday I went to osteopath. Then 2 days later I got up to Mdds .People have gotten off a flight and it just begins ,maybe that's down to ears on the flight ,and others it's following a car accident whiplash ,so I believe it most likely begins in our necks ,even a virus in the neck .Like I said this is now going into yrs 5 dealing with this .

     I've given up with drs and meds ,keep looking for answers myself ,It's one hell of a mystery why so many are coming down with this that for sure ,same with having tinnitus with it .Definately no cure for tinnitus period .

I'm in Canada

It took 2 years till I felt normal again. I did vestibular exercises every day to retrain my brain after VN. I highly recommend these.

Hi, thanks for replying. That gives me hope. I'm trying to do a aggressive rehabilitation on my own. Does the residual go away from vestibular neuritis was over four months ago. I find most visual instability when simply walking outside. I have good balance is just everything looks jittery. Also in big supermarkets I'm finding the bright lights large spaces make me feel floaty and detached. Did you experience

Hi

I strongly recommend vestibular therapy by a trained professional. I would never have known how to retrain my brain. And yes, IT GOES AWAY WITH TRAINING AND PATIENCE!! 🙂🙂🙂

I have tinnitis in my left ear now but not super loud. I worry it will get louder as time goes on.

And yes, bright lights making you feel detached and floaty in the supermarket is very common!

Thanks Debbie. Did the tinnitus happen a long time after your initial VN event? Was was the onset of the tinnitus gradual or sudden? I'm very upset I got it in the first place. I had a stressful event humans before apparently that could be a cause of it. Apparently the stress can reactivate dormant viruses.

Hi Ron,

My tinnitis started about a year ago in 2020 and my VN was in 2008. But I'm not complaining yet. The wonkiness in my head was much worse than the tinnitis is.

The onset of the tinnitis was gradual.

I don't have the strange feelings in my head since 2010. The exercises I did with the VN Therapist helped to cure that completely.

Sorry you cant get to a doctor...likely due to the pandemic right?
