Brief Answer:
Meniere's syndrome...

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thank you for posting!
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.

All your symptoms are related to Meniere's syndrome. My opinion is that this might be caused by an ear infection.

In general, I recommend an otorhinolaryngologist consultation to my patients, to do an ear examination. It would also be necessary to do an audiometry and a head MRI(magnetic resonance imaging), in order to confirm this diagnosis.

The treatment of this syndrome includes antihistamine medications.

Feel free to ask for anything that is unclear to you.

Regards,
Dr. Behar.
