Vertigo and rhinitis
Posted , 9 users are following.
I have suffered from rhinitis for about 12 years now. I have used 4 different steroid nasal sprays. They all reduced my symptoms for a short space of time but then became useless. Now, I get a lot of sympathy from my GP but that's about it. It's a year round thing and not just seasonal.
This morning I had a really bad dizzy spell when I got out of bed. i also had one yesterday but it was mild. When I went out I realised that I was walking like I was drunk. My balance was terrible. Consequently I went to a walk in centre and was told that there is a lot of fluid behnd my ears. I am also very tired and have been for weeks. They gave me some anti emetics.
I was told that if the vertigo doesn't go away or comes back I must see my GP for tests. Mind, I'm dubious about whether he'll give me them!
So my questions are has anyone else experienced this and what did your doctor do about it?

Maybe this won't help anyone else except me but worth a try since many of you are suffering. If you are like I was where you don't know exactly what the issue is and the "specialists" you are seeing don't have a clue either then you could try speaking to your dentist instead of your doctor. I had fluid on one side - ear, nose and throat which was literally driving me absolutely crazy and many other symptoms like dizziness, fatigue etc. I solved my issue completely by accident when my brand new dentist informed me I had an infection caused by tooth decay. She said "can you feel that little lump with your tongue". I said "yes it's been there for years". I did not have toothache and the lump didn't bother me at all but the dentist informed me it was an infection full of puss etc. I immediately started telling her about all the symptoms I was having which I had no idea were connected to my tooth. She basically told me there and then that this is what all my problems were about and she was totally correct because as soon as the tooth came out all my problems were magically solved. Good luck everyone.
