Hello, I m a 23 year old collage student and I keep getting dizzy and a ringing in my ear(s) after looking down for long periods of time like when I take tests, read, or draw. I never had this problem when I was 21, but over the years it has very slowly gotten worse. The dizziness and ringing seem to go away after laying down for 1 to 2 hours, so these good news there. I was just wondering what this could be, because it s starting to make shool just a bit harder then it should be.
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint the symptoms of dizziness and ringing in ears also known as Tinnitus can be due to disorders related to inner ear known as Labyrinthine or Deniers disease or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologies and get evaluated, and he can advise you investigations like MRI Scan, Vestibular tests, blood evaluation for serum electrolytes can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly. You can be advised to take medicines like Linearizing for relief but should not self-medicate and should take a medical advice. You can also be advised to avoid sudden head movement and stress should be avoided. Maintain good HY Chat Doctor. . Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
