How To Prevent Headache, Nose/ear Congestion, Ear Rings On One Side Sleeping?
Hi Dr. Bhatti, my name is Shruti and I wake up with a headache as well as a congested nose whenever I sleep on one side of my body for too long. Sometimes one ear rings/or feels congested as well, depending on which side I am sleeping on. Is there a way to prevent this other than trying to sleep on my back?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headache, nose/ear congestion, ear rings on one side sleeping. Well the symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as meniere's disease. It could be due to improper fluid drainage, perhaps because of a blockage or anatomic abnormality , Abnormal immune response , Allergies and Viral infection . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and go for complete otosopic examination . Doctor may order videonystagmography , rotary-chair testing , CT scan and MRI . Doctor may recommend antibiotics , steroids or anti emetic drug. Maintain hygiene.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
