I'm not quite sure if this is, do to the ear, or anxiety fueling this, or both! I just know I went to the doctor's and she says sinus. I've had sinus before, and nothing ever like this. If you read the symptoms of perforated ear drum dizzy is classic of this, but I am 3 1/2 weeks into this, why now all of the sudden? I also lost some hearing so this freaks me out, trying to balance where noises are actually coming from. I don't want to drive, I am petrified go to work, that it will happen again, and because I am so off balance. I did go today, and only made it a half day. I just try to get back up on the horse, but anxiety is winning the war!!!! Any help or advice would be so appreciated, thank you
