Hi and thanks for the query,

I think you might need to get a proper clinical review by an ENTR specialists. Other signs and symptoms might need to specified. Any notion of hearing loss, noises in the ear lately? If associated, Meniere s disease could be a possibility and usually has a specific management plan.

A proper ear examination is needed to ensure the integrity of the ear drum and canal. Specific tests to evaluate for vertigo are usually done. Conditions like labyrinthitis are usually diagnosed during this process. Tumors or neuromas of the auditory nerve could also present. Other specific tests like a Ct scan or MRI can be asked depending on the clinical review.

I suggest you get an in depth review from an ENT specialist.

Kind regards,

Bain LE, MD.
