I think when your vision suddenly goes black, that always warrants a visit to the doctor. Especially if anything that persists for over 3 weeks (gosh, I know too well how that feels like) with no sign of improvement.

If your ears are popping all the time, it sounds like your eustachian tubes (tubes connecting your middle ear to the pharynx) are congested, which would explain the vertigo and blackouts.

You should go see your doctor, but I would highly recommend you not to drive, seeing as you have dizzy spells and blackouts!

Take care.

see your doctor right away, do not drive yourself, it sounds as if you have a serious middle ear infection, there is fluid in your ears that is how you keep your balance from what you are discribing, i would say that something there is out of wack, i would make a trip to the er, have someone drive you, and you can try graval for the virtigo, but be forwarned that it will probly knock you out

Hello everyone, I need help, I am DESPERATE!!!!
Nov.2007 I had a vertigo attac that lasted for 2 weeks, I coudn't move at all, the room was spinning around me, pressure in my head, burning feeling, especially around my ears, ears popping when swallow. Since then my life is not the same, I can not ski, dance and do lots of activities that I used to do. After one month I was able to drive and try to have a normal life, not as active as before. I had MRI done, all kind off ear tests done, and all results were normal.
For the past few weeks the ear popping is back every time I swallow, pressure, burning feeling in my head and dizziness. After I wake up I feel a little bit better, but just for a few hours. NOW I am desperate that the vertigo is coming back, it was the worse experience of my life, and I don't know what to do. ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Hey,
I am just curious about these bouts of dizziness i experience.
They happen randomly and without warning, i can be walking, sitting down whatever, but suddenly i get really dizzy, my vision goes black and my legs feel like they will collapse out from under me.
It only lasts for about 30 seconds at a time and i dont pass out and am still aware of everything around me but it is just very strange.
If anyone recognises this symptom i would be a relief to know what it is, Thanks!
