What Causes Sudden Dizziness And Pain In Right Ear And History Of Depression?
Hi, I am a 30 year old female with a relatively clean health history and excellent blood pressure, other than a past history of depression. About 10 days ago I got out of bed with sudden dizziness that I couldn t stand straight, after that I started experiencing nonstop dizzy spells throughout the day with change of head positions. I have never experienced dizziness before this. Few days later my tongue started feeling fat and stiff, when I talk feel like I have to spend extra effort in pronouncing the words. Then last night when I was about to fall back asleep after getting up, I felt a sudden pain inside my right ear as if someone had kicked inside my head. The pain quickly went away then I turned to my body to sleep on my other side, seconds later I felt another strong kick inside my right ear. When I got up thus morning the pain on my left ear has almost disappeared, but I feel a persistent dull, sometimes tingly pain on the entire right side of my face radiating from the ear. I m now dizzy, talking funny, and has a hurting face. Please let me know what I should do?

Hello!
Thank you for your question.
I undertand your concern.
I recommend you see a doctor, have a good physical examination, followed by a head CT Scan.
In my opinion all the symptoms you describe may be related to a disorder in your right ear or the right cerebello pontine angle. Something is wrong with your cranial nerves located there .
It may be an infection inside your ear causing these problems. Herpes virus infection can also cause similar problems.
But it may also be stroke a tumor, although less probable, by your history.
Hope to have been helpful.
Thank you for using HCM!
