Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
Do you have fever, nausea, giddiness, vertigo (sensation of the room rotating around you) or hearing loss ?
Any headache, blurring of vision ?
Any sense of fullness in the ears ?
The symptoms you have listed could fit into many possible conditions like Anemia, Dehydration, Diabetes, High blood pressure, Meniere's disease, overwork and fatigue, trauma, infections etc.
Once the cause is found out, the required remedies and treatment can be started.
For now, kindly follow the following instructions for relief.
Consume a glass of water.
Lie down with your head flat.
Avoid loud noise or bright lights near you.
You may take a tablet of Betahistine or Phenergan. These medicines can cause drowsiness, so do take it once before going to sleep only.
After you feel better, have a full meal.
Tomorrow morning before breakfast get your blood sugar tested. Also get your blood pressure tested at a Clinic or Hospital.
Keep the following things in mind. Never miss a meal. Drink 1-2 litres of water daily. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and XXXXXXX leafy vegetables. Do daily brisk walking for 40 minutes a day.
Avoid junk food, caffeine, colas, pastries, smoking and alcohol.
Kindly answer my queries and do follow up with me on your progress.
I hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
Wishing speedy recovery.

Hi there.
Thanks for your reply.
There is possibility of overwork and stress as the cause of the ringing sensation in the ears.
Fullness in the ears could indicate impacted ear wax as well. This is a common cause of ear block. It would be best to get seen by an ENT Doctor for the presence of possible impacted wax.
