As part of trying to isolate a cause for my problems I went to see an ENT yesterday. I last saw him in late 2023 for random vertigo episodes, at which time he found an imbalance but no cause for my vertigo. Since the PE the vertigo has returned, 3-4 times per year or so. It seems obvious to go see an ENT with this description but the symptoms are so general that it was also obvious to go do a gastroscopy and blood tests.
I barely spent 10 minutes with him yesterday lol, but he immediately said that based on everything I said it was likely menieres. He did cancel another appointment to test me on Monday so that was nice.
His theory as to the random nausea is that my inner ear is affected but my body works to compensate, so I don't notice it, but it still causes nausea (through the compensation I think?)
In any case he was quite sure of it, apparently everything I told him fit with menieres. I'm trying not to think too much about it until I get the test done, then I'll probably have a ton of questions about it. And if it's not that, we're back to square one.
I'm super tired these days also, going to take naps in the morning or afternoon, but I also go to bed early and in consequence wake up early lol. But idk. It feels like I'm just eating and sleeping these days lol.
A few months ago I had a inner ear crystal that got dislodged. (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) I was nauseous but it felt kinda like a weird headache not like normal dizziness and if I turned or tilted my head it got way worse.
After I did a search around I found a video showing the different Epley maneuvers and after trying it a couple times I was good.
If your issue is an inner ear thing maybe all it is is bppv not menieres. Maybe give the epley maneuvers a try next time you are feeling sick and see if it helps.
