What Causes Recurring Lightheadedness, Pain In Ears And Fatigue?
I have been getting lightheaded at random times. My left ear does hurt sometimes and at night I will wake up due to my ear. I am becoming tired more often. I have tried taking Aleve and allergy pills but as soon as I stop it comes back. Is there something else I can take?

Hi Dear .
Welcome to HCM.
Understand your concern. As per your query you have lightheadedness and dizziness with comes and goes. no headaches but sometimes feel wobbly . Well there can be many reasons for vertigo like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo , Vertigo may also be caused by inflammation within the inner ear sometimes due to infection , meniere's disease , acoustic neuroma , sinusitis and multiple sclerosis .Sometimes there are simple reasons like low blood sugar or iron level and anxiety are also responsible . I suggest you to consult with ENT specialist for proper checkup . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , MRI , blood test , audiometery test , rotatory chair test and ECG to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe ant emetic drug , sedatives , antibiotics and some ear aid .Doctor may also recommend vestibular therapy . For now avoid bending foreword , take steam , drink green tea thrice a day and do light exercises daily . Tka ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain in ear .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
