What Causes Dizziness And Ringing Of Ears?

Hello,I have now experienced a sensation of the room spinning after blowing my nose twice in one week. I have chronic allergies and sinus issues but have never experience this particular symptom. Also, my right ear began to ring and felt stopped up for about 30 seconds following the second occurrence.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear,

The symptoms can be attributed to pathology in the Vestibular Apparatus in inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance) most probably Labyrinthitis or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Vestibular sedatives like Betahistine or Cinnarizine preparations (to be taken only under the guidance of a Physician).

So, kindly consult your Physician/ ENT Specialist & get a complete clinical examination done.
Investigations like complete blood count, estimation of serum electrolytes & vestibular function tests will be required to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Till then, maintain adequate hydration & proper nutrition status and avoid stress.
Also take precautions of getting up from bed slowly & avoid sudden head movements.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
