What happens at ENT?

[expecto patronum]

I know quite a few people on here have been for ENT checks, and I just wondered what tests they actually do? I'm a bit concerned that thety won't be able to test me thoroughly as I only have a 10 minute appointment. Also how long does it take before you get your results back?

Thanks, Rossie.

I have had a constant sense of feeling off-balance/ dizzy for the last 4 1/2 months. I've just read on another site that ENT aren't the experts in dizziness though

Hi Rossie! I have been to ENT doctor a year ago...i had severe diziness and asked my doctor to refer me. Just before that i have been to A & E and doctors all the time! they could't find anything and said it might be viral inner ear infection..I would't take that as an answer as i thought i am dying! so i went to ENT and he looked in my ears...done some balance tests..it didn't take long at all. He couldn't find anything wrong and refered me to neurologist and a hearing test. neurologist deals with diziness probably more, but ENT will check you for labyrinthitis which can produce same symptoms.
but anxiety can do same.
hope you feel better soon!
