Hi dear ,
Welcome to HCM,
Understanding your concern . As per your query you are suffering from fainting spells along with headaches . The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition that affect middle ear like meniere's disease , labyrinthitis or otitis media / Bu it seems to me that the symptoms are pointing towards ear infection also known as labyrinthitis . Sometimes problem like sinusitis can also cause such problem .I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist or otolaryngologist for proper checkup . Doctor may order hearing test , CT OR MRI scan , EEG, ENG and blood test to find out the exact cause and rule out above mention conditions . Doctor may prescribe anti histamine , sedatives , antibiotics and anti emetic drugs .
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
