Meniere’s disease symptoms?

I have been experiencing the symptoms of Meniere’s disease. I get pressure in my left ear, then high tinnitus, deafness and then dizziness. The only odd thing is this lasts 3 -7 minutes and its gone. This started over a year ago, but now its more frequent. Could this be the beginning Meniere’s disease?

I would make an appt before I started worrying. Sometimes calcium deposits dislodge and play havoc in the ear, mine is the right ear. I do get serious vertigo, my hearing is fine . In order to rule out Menieres you have to have a hearing test after a few pics of your ear canal.
Treatment is usually the same for menieres and vertigo, generally a diuretic and an antihistamine and sometimes they will include a benzodiazipine like valium or xanax or something similar.
Have you had hearing problems recently? Are low tones unnoticed by your or has someone had to repeat themselves to you?
I can’t walk up long flights of stairs…..whoa, its like a tilt a whirl.
Menieres and Vertigo are so similar that one really has to have it checked out. Either way, you need to be seen and you more than likely will be able to resolve this, there are treatments.
If you have some dislodged deposits, they can remove those.
Does this run in your family?
I am leaning towards a problem with the left ear, mine is the right.
I think with meniers its both, i am not sure.
I did fall out of a tree tho and for some reason landed on the right side, hitting my head and shoulder….I must have moved something around because I improved the vertigo LOL…….the cortisone shots in my shoulder sucked tho.
I dont recommend that as a treatment. =)
