Dizziness, Nauseated, Vomiting. Had Ears Pierced. Suggest?

Hi I had the top of my ear pierced almost 2 weeks ago the healing went fine and it barely feels a little bruised now. But every time me or my fiancee clean it I get dizzy and feel nauseated. Today he was cleaning it out with benzine and it did not hurt. Out of no where I got so dizzy I had to sit down and started to vomit and all day I have felt like I was hit with a tranquilizer and Im fighting to stay coherent. Im really groggy and out of it. Whats wrong with me?

Welcome to Health Care magic forum,

Vertigo or dizziness with vomiting may be due to central(or systemic/brain) or peripheral(EAR) cause.

If there is any abnormality in the internal ear that leads to imbalance and dizziness.

Ear piercing usually done at the ear cartilage or on the avascular plane so there is chance of infection to skin or cartilage , but will never cause dizziness and vomiting.

Sometime hypertension , high or low glucose may cause similar symptoms.

I would suggest you to see a Physician for check up.

Thanking you.
