Viral Ear Infection Or More? I get Dizzy + Sense Smells Posted: 10-05-07 17:19pm
Hi there,I am new to the boards and Have
some stuff to share and want to ask some
questions.I visited the doc 2 times, first
I was smelling a strange smell 3 weeks
ago,I was the only one who could smell the
smell...Doc told me it was a viral
infection and I was given no medication..I
visited the doctore again this time the
smell went away and I got very dizzy,mild
ear ache, not bad and could not sleep at
all.I have been taken the pills he gave me
infection pills and pain pills to help me
sleep..I only take them 2 more days but
yet my head still doesn't feel right it
feels heavy and I got dizzy at
times...this is all the time ...everytime
I get up to walk....should I just go to
the hospital..I don't know what else to
do? If anyone had this before please let
me know will it go away on it's own or I
am infected so bad pills can't help me.

i think you need to go to the doctor and
get tested for something else. they need
to figure out whats causing this

I have to agree with
The-Girlfriend............if you were
diagnosed with a viral infection, why were
you not given meds? I do know bacterial
can be helped wiht antibiotics, but there
are other meds. Also, why was you inner
ear not checked, as you were having
problems? I jsust told my new neurologsit
last week I sometimes smell smoke, or
cigarettes or sometimes weird smells. He
said this wasa sign of a sinus infection.
I'd say find another doctor, but if you
can't wait, go to the ER and tell them you
are having light headed, having dizzy
spells etc. It very well could be
somehting that needs attention!

the dizziness when you get up to walk
sounds like inner ear problems to me...
when i busted my ear drum 6yrs. ago i got
dizzy and offbalance and passed out
i'd go to the ER or a new doc. and ask
them to check your inner ear
and explain your symptoms...
