Ears popping and Dizziness! Posted: 01-28-08 12:32pm
I have recently been experiencing
dizziness when I stand up. For the past 3
weeks now, when I get up after watching
t.v. and what not, I stand up, get real
dizzy, my vision goes black for a few
seconds, then I slowly start to see again,
and feel O.K. It happens almost everytime
I stand up now. My ears have been popping
whenever I swallow now, for about 5 days I
would say. It's not a painful pop, just
mild. Are these 2 thing related. I'm
pretty sure I need to go to the doctor,
would just like some info. before I
decide. Thank you

I think when your vision suddenly goes
black, that always warrants a visit to the
doctor. Especially if anything that
persists for over 3 weeks (gosh, I know
too well how that feels like) with no sign
of improvement.
If your ears are popping all the time, it
sounds like your eustachian tubes (tubes
connecting your middle ear to the pharynx)
are congested, which would explain the
vertigo and blackouts.
You should go see your doctor, but I would
highly recommend you not to drive, seeing
as you have dizzy spells and blackouts!
see your doctor right away, do not drive
yourself, it sounds as if you have a
serious middle ear infection, there is
fluid in your ears that is how you keep
your balance from what you are discribing,
i would say that something there is out of
wack, i would make a trip to the er, have
someone drive you, and you can try graval
for the virtigo, but be forwarned that it
will probly knock you out
