Hace unos meses que no me siento bien, principalmente es una sensación de mareo/inestabilidad y he ido al médico varias veces por esto y todos mis resultados han salido bien. Ahora me pregunto si podría ser mala circulación, siempre he tenido los pies fríos incluso en verano. Unos meses antes de que todo esto empezara, recientemente dejé un trabajo donde era bastante activa, por lo que podría ser que ya no sea tan activa y eso haya empeorado la circulación. ¿Alguna experiencia con mala circulación?
¿Tienes algún problema de digestión?
Hello,
It may have to do with your inner ear. The inner ear has our vestibular-balance connection with our brain. I would see if you can get in to see a neuro-otologist. They specialize in the inner ear. It might be a good idea to check it just to make sure that's not it. Then you can cross that one off your list.
Or if you've started any new medication recently, that could cause dizziness too.
I hope you feel better.
Es necesario realizar todas las pruebas para descartar o diagnosticar el problema. Resonancia magnética, tomografía computarizada, VNG, etc.
No, no realmente, quiero decir que al principio hice un poco, pero creo que fue porque me ponía muy nerviosa.
Gracias. Si resulta ser ese problema, ¿sabes si es fácil de arreglar? Solo estoy cansado de sentirme así ahora.
Hello,
It depends on what part of the inner ear it could be that is causing the dizziness and lightheadedness. Like Waffalobil said, you'll need to see a doctor and get the vestibular testing. I went to a neuro-otologist. They specialize in the inner ear.
You mentioned being "cold" even in summer which is NOT a vestibular ear condition.. Does your skin turn purplish during cold weather? A few things came to mind - Raynauds, anemic, a thyroid condition or taking medications? You're not describing a true vertigo but more of a sea sickness/unwell feeling? Dizziness is a very, very broad topic and usually it's something else in your body telling you something is wrong. You did not mention much else of possible triggers or symptoms...e.g. Allergies? Congestion? that could be related to your ear(s) or nose. Providing more information of your symptoms would be helpful . -V.
Mis pies, en raras ocasiones, se ven un poco morados, pero solo si los dejo muy fríos. Me he hecho un chequeo de la tiroides y un análisis de sangre y no soy anémica y no tomo ninguna medicación. Sí, supongo que es más una sensación de mareo por el movimiento, es muy difícil de explicar. En dos ocasiones fue realmente malo, ya que al mover la cabeza empeoraba, así que tenía que mantener la cabeza quieta y no lo sentiría tanto, pero no he tenido eso en un par de semanas. No he notado ningún desencadenante y, hasta donde yo sé, no soy alérgico a nada. No estoy congestionado, pero recuerdo que cuando esto empezó por primera vez, sentía presión dolorosa en la nariz, pero solo pasó un par de veces. Ahora solo siento una presión muy leve en la nariz, así que supongo que podría estar relacionado con los senos nasales.
This info. helps greatly. Yes, many people including myself in another forum have started out the same way as you - much to do with the nose/sinuses. So this may be the cause, especially that it has disappeared for now. Mine started the exact same way as yours many years ago, which unfortunately progressed overtime to more serious respiratory conditions then further to now possibly permanent complications from it not being addressed starting with GPs, then Otolaryngologists then Neurotologists. Why? Because oftentimes, one is not having the problem at the time you finally get to the appt.! (takes months to see a specialist). None of them mentioned the -ONE- anatomy feature that is a very important structure called the Eustachian Tubes (ET), which is responsible for pressure equalization in your middle ear from your nose/throat. When your nose is stuffed up (some others have none, but silent acid reflux), it creates unhealthy over-mucosal production affecting your ETs to not open and shut properly which is critical to help equalize pressure to your middle ear. In turn, your ear(s) become affected, to trigger this dizziness sense (like blowing up too many balloons, airflights, scuba diving). When it's really affected, for too long, it then starts to affect the Inner ear apparatus (controls vestibular function & rest of hearing parts) which hopefully, is not yet affected or happening. There's a variety of causes to this.
You're your own best advocate to pinpoint down your cause. If you notice the symptoms happening when you only have congestion and it goes away, this seems to be your ETs which seems to be mild (fortunately!) The best thing is to keep your nose healthy by simple methods like saline nasal spray, magnesium etc. If you have GERD or silent acid reflux, thats a different matter. One more thing that many are unaware of, which I just need to ask... are you having any hormonal changes at this time?
You can look up Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD) here and read many others sharing similar complaints! and see if it there's a correlation to yours. I hope this helps in some way. - V.
Muchas gracias por ayudarme y darme toda esta información. Lo he investigado y parece muy posible. Creo que no mencioné que he estado teniendo dolores de cabeza leves, se sienten como dolores de cabeza por presión. También acabo de recordar que un poco antes de que todo esto comenzara, fui a nadar y me quedó agua atascada en la oreja, podía sentirla chapoteando allí durante unos días y luego simplemente desapareció, no sentí que saliera ni nada y tampoco me dio dolor ni molestia en la oreja en absoluto y por eso lo olvidé, no sé si esto cambia las cosas o podría ser la razón, pero pensé en mencionarlo por si acaso.
No he notado ningún cambio hormonal.
De nuevo, muchas gracias por tu ayuda, se valora mucho 😊
It helps to cope with my own suffering, to try help others from what I've learned overtime - hopefully as a preventive measure. My situation started just like yours! You have symptoms many under the ETD forum have shared & in regards to intuitively wonder of a possible sinus relationship triggering your odd tinnitus (to the ears). I believe you're correct! Unfortunately mine has become chronic from not been properly evaluated & infections over a LONG period of time (and still not properly addressed). From your ongoing complaints of congestion, the tinnitus happening off and on during this is even more telling. Is it like a vibratory type of tinnitus?
There's 4 sinus categories and one is near the eyes.. all involve many nerve endings separated by only a very fine membrane and/or cartilage. Increased pressure to them can affect the eye area as well as cause problematic pressure regulation to your middle ears from unhealthy over-mucosal production with your eustachian tubes. This can trigger headaches/migraines and even more so when further exposed to barotrauma (flying, weather changes, swimming, anesthesia etc). Antibiotics -may- work if the infection is bacterial. The problem with appts. with Otolaryngologists or Neurologists is that they take months for an appt. and by the time you get in, the infection may be resolved or not as bad as it was... and they seem to have a greater concern to wrist-watch movements. Then when it happens again later, reschedule months, vicious horrible $$$ cycle.
I don't think water can bypass into the middle ear through the protective eardrum membrane UNLESS it's perforated....but rests in the external canal getting boggy (use a hair dryer). This can trigger a sense of imbalance. If intact eardrums, fluid INSIDE your middle-ear would have to go through your Eustachian tubes which often indicates some form of infection: allergies, bacteria/viral colds/acid (and also create dizziness or imbalance). Ear infection does not always cause pain. You can look up article: "Ear Infection - Otitis media" info here in "Patient". Only in unusual circumstances, have people (kids) had objects or food sniff-forced into their middle ear through ETs - think peas & play dough!
You're your own best advocate. What is it that's causing your sinus issues? One thing I also learned to be helpful (to late after the fact) was simple nasal swab cultures for lab analysis! It's appalling to see how many are not given this but constant $$$ prescriptions and MRIs that may not be as effective or a wrong diagnosis. This would be fastest through your GP if it continues to be progressive. Other patients have said to have better care, and felt listened to by Specialists in the Immunology/Allergy field and go from there. -V.
