Painful Ear & Throat

[Marc EH]

Hi, for a month I've been feeling dizzy and it got me so upset that I'm on medication for Anxiety. The thing is that for the past week (before starting meds) I've also had pain in my throat & ear (left ear) and headaches so I wondered if anyone thought it might be a problem rather than just my anxiety?

I've been taking Propranolol for 2 days now but no change to dizzyness etc as yet.

Thanks for any advice. :)

could be a middle ear problem?!? An ear exam at drs wont show :shrug: anything but they can tell the difference usually by getting u to stand feet together, eyes closed, arms by your side then try to touch the tip of your nose with your index finger tip, if you miss your nose its an ear problem. You have eyes and ears for balance. Your tabs are beta blockers. I have stemetil for dizzy due to ears- but get dizzy with anx and take anti d's and sleep pills.
if its carried on for a month its probably anx? Ear problems make the room spin too.

Thanks for the advice. I tried the tip and I could touch my nose with no problem so think it must be the anxiety. I'm sure the meds will work given a few days!!!
