Lately I have been very fatigue and having much vertigo. It happens worse in the morning. I had a cat scan and my blood taken, all came back fine. I've also been to doctors 4 times and yet they can't explain it. It all seems like I wake up very disoriented. It mostly comes and goes, but lasts about weeks at a time. I thought maybe it had to do with my ears throbbing here and there. But I had my ears as well as my eyes checked out and all came out fine. I don't take medication and especially don't use drugs.What could it be?

Do you have positional vertigo (i.e. does it happen when you lay down on your right side or your left side only)? Or lean to your right side or left side? Or is your vertigo the type that happens all the time regardless of your position (does it happen standing up, sitting down, etc/)?

It's usually all the time, but its extreme when walking and standing up.

Is your blood pressure within normal limits? 120/70?

You describe that this happens when standing up. It is possible that it could be postural hypotension.

Last night my right ear made a huge popping sound. Which now my left ear feels like there's a huge cotton ball stuck in it. Maybe my Eustachian tubes may be plugged. Could this be the reason why I have vertigo? And what can I do? I also think my blurriness may be because of a sty in my eye. How do you get rid of a sty? Other then a warm washcloth. Is there a way to get rid of it faster? Thanks for all your help :)

Time for a doctor's visit. It sounds as though you may have an ear infection that would require antibiotics.

[sabatinis]

Yes I'm on top of seeing a doctor. I'm going to actually see if I can make an appointment with my ear doctor. But could this be the reason why I have been feeling so dizzy. And how can an ear infection cause you to be dizzy? Thank You!

[J_9]

Yes, it can make you dizzy. I will explain it in easy terms to understand.

Our center of balance lies within our ears. When this center of balance is disturbed, by fluid build up, infection, or whatever, we experience dizziness.

Sounds just like what I just had - labyrinthitis I'm surprised the doctors didn't suggest this. You will be feeling tired because the brain has to work extra hard to keep you upright when the balance is effected. It really is exhausting!

If it started in a sudden attack of extreme vertigo which involved the room spinning then there is a good chance it is this.

Unfortuanately if you've go viral labrynthitus then there is nothing much to be done except treat the symptoms and rest.

Hmmm... I'm definitely going to have to bring that to my doctors attention thanks for your help :)
