Impedance Audiogram.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. First get an Impedance Audiogram (Tympanogram) and a PTA (Pure Tone Audiogram) done. Upload the results.
2. Ear pressure changes (sice you have ear popping) after a cold can cause such symptoms.
3. If the I/A and the PTA is normal, further investigation will be required. It is good to hear that your MRI is normal because many conditions can be ruled out.
4. Anemia may worsen the dizziness. Get it treated.
5. The main causes of dizziness to be ruled out at the peri-menopausal stage are Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's Disease, Vestibular Neuritis (following a cold) and Cervical Spondylosis.
5. Direct examination by a Neurotologist is recommended.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
