Do you think I have Vertigo?
Question:
Answers:
No. You have described your symptoms well. Vertigo is the sensation of dizziness-specifically off balance feeling, spinning with nausea at the extreme. This is usually caused by inflammation or disturbance of the inner ear near the brain. It sounds like you have a middle ear problem or eustachian tube dysfunction caused when fluid builds up behind you ear drum and does not drain properly into the back of the throat. At it's worst this can cause a middle ear infection.
Standard treatments include decongestants (by mouth-pill and judiciously by nasal spray) and nasal steroids (e.g. Flonase, Beconase, Vancenase). Last resort is myringotomy where an ENT doc essentially pokes a hole in the eardrum for drainage and to relieve/equalize the pressure across the eardrum.
The yellow fluid is prob coming from your ear canal-in front of or outside of that is, your eardrum-prob unrelated to the pressure popping prob.
Suggest you start by seeing your doc, or better yet an ENT specialist. Good luck!
