Je me sens mal depuis quelques mois maintenant, c'est surtout cette sensation de vertige/instabilité et je suis allé chez le médecin à plusieurs reprises avec cela et tous mes résultats sont revenus normaux. Je me demande maintenant si cela pourrait être une mauvaise circulation, j'ai toujours eu les pieds froids même en été. Quelques mois avant que tout cela ne commence, j'ai récemment quitté un emploi où j'étais assez actif, donc pourrait-ce être que je ne suis plus aussi actif que cela qui a causé à la circulation de s'aggraver ? Des expériences avec une mauvaise circulation ?
Avez-vous des problèmes de digestion ?
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.
Il faut faire tous les tests nécessaires pour écarter ou diagnostiquer le problème. IRM, scanner, VNG, etc.
Non, pas vraiment, je veux dire quand ça a commencé je l'ai fait un peu mais je pense que c'était parce que ça me rendait vraiment nerveux.
Merci. Si cela s'avère être ce problème, savez-vous si c'est une réparation facile ? Juste fatigué de me sentir ainsi maintenant
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.
Mes pieds, à de rares occasions, peuvent avoir une teinte légèrement violette, mais cela n'arrive que s'ils sont très froids. J'ai fait vérifier ma thyroïde et j'ai passé un test sanguin, et je ne suis pas anémique. Je ne prends aucun médicament. Oui, je suppose que c'est plus une sensation de mal de mer, c'est très difficile à expliquer. À deux reprises, cela est devenu vraiment grave, au point que lorsque je bougeais la tête, c'était au pire, donc je devais garder la tête immobile et je ne le sentais pas autant. Mais cela ne m'est pas arrivé depuis quelques semaines maintenant. Je n'ai remarqué aucun déclencheur et, à ma connaissance, je ne suis allergique à rien. Je ne suis pas congestionné, mais je me souviens que lorsque cela a commencé pour la première fois, je ressentais une douleur de pression dans le nez, mais cela n'est arrivé que quelques fois. Maintenant, je peux sentir une très légère pression dans le nez, donc je suppose que cela pourrait être lié aux sinus ?
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.
Merci beaucoup pour votre aide et pour m'avoir fourni toutes ces informations. J'ai fait des recherches et cela semble tout à fait possible. Je pense ne pas avoir mentionné que j'avais des maux de tête légers, ça fait un peu comme des maux de tête dus à la pression. Je viens également de me souvenir qu'un peu avant que tout cela ne commence, je suis allé nager et j'ai eu de l'eau coincée dans l'oreille, je pouvais la sentir bouger à l'intérieur pendant quelques jours, puis elle a simplement disparu. Je n'ai pas senti qu'elle sortait ou quoi que ce soit, et elle ne m'a causé aucune douleur ou inconfort à l'oreille, donc j'ai oublié. Je ne sais pas si cela change les choses ou pourrait être la raison, mais j'ai pensé à le mentionner au cas où.
Je n'ai pas remarqué de changements hormonaux.
Encore merci pour votre aide, c'est vraiment apprécié 😊
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.
