Dizziness, Nausea, Due To Labyrinthitis. Fatigue A Normal Symptom?
I was diagnosed with labyrinthitis 5 weeks ago and I have recovered from the dizziness and nausea quite well. However, I am still very very fatigued to the point that I still can t go back to work. Is this normal? I also don t feel that the weakness has improved much over the last week. Could the fatigue be caused by something else? Thanks!

Dear patient,
Thanks for your concerns. As you know, the labyrinthitis was a consecuence of an infection, most likely viral, and depending on the type of virus, some are associated with more faigue and a prolonged convalescence period; Epstein Barr, for example, is particularly known for this. So, in context, I think it is still part of the gradual recovery period.
Yours truly,
