Hi everybody I’m Sherry I also suffer from extreme dizziness headaches child pain exedra I’ve had this 24/7 for 8 years now and the only thing that has helped the dizziness is Valium it has really been a godsend for me and I also noticed sometimes when I have a bad dizzy spell that is like I can hear the wind blowing through my ears and my ears feel stopped up I feel weird I can’t describe it
Also on top of that suffer from panic disorder which I’m sure is the is why the dizziness is there but I can’t imagine it’s been 8 years already 24/7 I mean is it here to stay
The fact that Valium has provided some relief for your dizziness suggests that there may be a significant component related to anxiety or vestibular dysfunction that responds to sedatives. The sensation of hearing wind blowing through your ears and the feeling of your ears being stopped up could indicate an issue with your inner ear or auditory system, potentially related to conditions like Meniere’s disease, vestibular migraines, or Eustachian tube dysfunction.
Given your ongoing symptoms and the impact on your quality of life, it’s crucial to work closely with your healthcare provider to explore all possible diagnoses and treatment options. It might be beneficial to consult with a specialist such as an ENT physician or a neurologist who focuses on vestibular disorders. They can conduct a comprehensive evaluation to identify any underlying causes that might not yet have been addressed.
Additionally, since you mentioned panic disorder, addressing anxiety and panic attacks through therapy or other treatments could potentially improve your overall symptom management. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other strategies for managing anxiety might also help in reducing the severity of dizziness if it is partly linked to panic disorder.
