Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of headaches, overthinking, dizziness, stress and nightmares a symptom of anxiety. The symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, inflammation within the inner ear sometimes due to infection , meniere's disease , acoustic neuroma , sinusitis and multiple sclerosis. The symptoms in your case is also occurring due to psychological reasons , so consult psychiatrist . Sometimes ear infection occur due to postnasal drip due to sinusitis. You should avoid bending forward , take steam , drink ginger tea thrice a day and do light exercises daily . I would suggest you to consult with ENT specialist for proper checkup so that there will not be any further complication. Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , MRI , blood test , audiometry test and ECG to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe anti emetic drug, sedatives , antibiotics , decongestants,drain sinus and prescribe some ear aid.
