Is it possible that I have M茅ni猫re's disease?

Last night I woke up around 2:30am to go to the bathroom. I started feeling extremely nauseous, so I finished up my business. By then I felt very dizzy and light-headed. I sat on the bathroom floor until I felt well enough to go back to bed. I fell back onto the bed and my left eardrum really started to hurt and then some ringing (tinnitus) started. It seemed to help me to lay on my right side. I fell back asleep and woke up ok.

Now at work I don't feel ill, but not exactly 100% either. I am occasionally getting slight pangs of pressure in my left ear. And an even slighter occasional feeling of pressure in my right ear.

Oh, and earlier in the evening a felt a very little tightness in my lungs when taking a deep breath, as I do today.

I am 29 years old. Female. Obese. Take Zyrtec D for allergies. I've only experienced this once before, 9 years ago.

No obvious hearing loss, although I sometimes feel that my hearing is not as good as it used to be.

No diarrhea.

I used to get frequent headaches, at least three times a week, until I started taking the Zyrtec D, which is an antihistamine/decongestant.

hello,

M茅ni猫re's disease is usually characterized 4 symptoms.
1) Periodic episodes of rotatory vertigo or dizziness.
2) Fluctuating, progressive, low-frequency hearing loss
3) Tinnitus
4) A sensation of "fullness" or pressure in the ear.

and...

Zyrtec-D side effects

Important things you should know about cetirizine and pseudoephedrine

While you are taking cetirizine and pseudoephedrine, do not take other prescription or over-the-counter cough, cold, or allergy medications without first talking to your doctor or pharmacist.

Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Cetirizine and pseudoephedrine may cause dizziness or drowsiness. If you experience dizziness or drowsiness, avoid these activities.

Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness during treatment with cetirizine and pseudoephedrine.

Well, it's really hard to say in your case, I don't think you have MD, but maybe tinnitus and dizziness from the Zyrtec D.
you may want to check with your doctor on this. good luck!
I hope this helped! :)

Everything is possible, but did you experience hearing loss? Headache or Diarrhea? I think you should see a doctor, and it would also be a good idea to check your blood pressure. Do you know the side effects of the medication you're taking? That's another thing you should look for. I hope is nothing serious, but please see a doctor.

Good Luck ;)

I'd recommend going and getting checked by your doctor or urgent care facility, but first for an inner ear infection.

Meinere's is diagnosed by eliminating a lot of things you might have - allergies, ear infections, hormone imbalances, a tumor on the inner ear, syphillis, etc...

When they find out that you don't have anythign else, they diagnose you with Meinere's.

You could have just some of the symptoms or all of the symptoms to have a Meinere's diagnosis.

I never have the vomiting that a lot of peole get, but I do get the vertigo attacks really badly sometimes.

I also get the sudden anger, impatience, depression and periods of extreme mental confusion that are not usually documented as part of this disease.

Since you are already on a medication, I would look into that as a cause for your disturbances, before jumping to Meinere's.

But go see your doctor - if it is an ear infection, it's pretty treatable and pretty serious.
