<human>: I woke up 5 days ago feeling dizzy and nauseous , went to ER, they said its a viral infection,went to ENT, he thinks its same or maybe caused by stress, it has subsided  (no nauseousness ) but still feeling unbalance while walking. Could this be just a virus?
<bot>: HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Dizziness and vertigo are common problems. They are most often related to conditions of the inner ear. The three most common conditions are: (1) benign paroxysmal positional vertigo-episodes last few seconds to minutes and vary with the position of the headship is treated by the doctor performing a maneuver called repays maneuver.(2)deniers- episodes last a few minutes, associated with hearing loss and tinnitus(3)vestibular neuritis- episodes lasts for hours at a time May be associated with a viral infection your episodes lasted for hours at a time then it could be related to a viral infection. If however, it is in keeping with the other conditions mentioned then other treatment would be needed. I hope this helps
