Vertigo & Tinnitus
I am located in Bangalore. Was teaching , studying, managing housework for almost 6 years. After I decided to take a year's break suddenly suffered a single bout of vertigo. Before that had been on a 6hr road journey.
I had earlier issues of tinnitus & blocked feeling in left ear but that was in control with homeo treatment.
The vertigo attack was just for a minute...head spinning & vomiting.GP had prescribed vertin 8 mg for 6 days . Ever since twice I have had instance of head spinning but no giddiness.
Should I consult specialist... Which branch in ent ? Go for a hearing test? Seeking advice to deal better with this problem.

Giddiness or vertigo may be due to some problem which was troubling you with tinnitus... Tinnitus is ringing sound in the ear...it may be due to impacted wax,fluid in the middle ear,acute or chronic otitis media, abnormally patent eustachian tube, minieres disease, otosclerosis,noise trauma, ototoxic drugs etc...it may be due to non otologic conditions like Anaemia, hypertension, hypotension, arteriosclerosis, hypoglycemia,epilepsy,migraine etc...so detailed clinical examination and evaluation needed Consult nearest ent specialist they will do the needful.
