hi i am a 50 year old woman. i live in the seattle area and have suffered from re-occuring BPPV (vertigo),respiratory infections and ear pressure for the last 2 years. I recently went on a trip to the Alberta prairies and had a month of symptom free living!!!!! I have been home for 3 days and most of my symptoms have returned, heaviness in chest, dizziness. pressure in ears, and fairly constant gas bubbles which seems to get stuck in my throat. Could this all be caused by the humidity levels? The females in my family have a history of gallbladder issues. I do have discomfort under my right breast and it seems to radiate around my side to my shoulder blade.
