What Causes Dizziness With Tinnitus And Blurred Vision?

Hello and thanks in advance fr any light you may be able to shed. I suffer from dizzy spell not alway spinning, ear and eye pressure that has caused hearing loss / tinnitus and blurred vision on left side of head. This all began 3 years ago while on vacation, I had quit smoking 2 years prior and got hooked on chewing nicotine gum, I chewed every waking moment. I spit a piece out and immediately put in a new piece. when this started I was driving back to the hotel, I was of course chewing my gum then there was a loud pop in my left chaw shot a sharp pain to my ear then I looked to left to check my mirror and boom thats when dizziness hit. went to emergency they thought I was drunk but assured them I had not drank a drop that day. Dizziness subsided the sent me on my way. been to numerous doctors, ents, neurologist, ear specialist, had doplars, ct scan, mri, no tumors nothing, going to see a head and neck doctor next that specializes in tmj. Any ideas would be great. I quit chewing gum almost immediately afterwards.

Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

I carefully read your question and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to inflammation (like temporal arteritis) or Migraine with Vertigo.

That is why, I would recommend performing an angio MRI (with gadolinium enhancement) and inflammation tests (PCR, ESR).

You should know that angio MRI can give a lot of information on your cerebral arteries and the blood flow in them.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
