Ear Blocked. Cleared. Slight Imbalance, Dizziness, Feeling Pulse In Back Of Head. Is Wax In Ears Causing Problem?
i had an ear blackage a few days back and i cleared it by using ear drops.. but now i feel slight imbalance while i turn my head or walk.. not exactly dizziness and i dont fall.. no problems like that but i just feel strange.. ive also been feeling pulse in the back of my head constantly for the past 3 days.. my school doctor once told that i have wax in my ears.. is it causing all these problems

Hi and thanks for the query,
There are many causes for imbalance but wax is not one of them.
You will require a detailed examination of the ear to know the cause of the dizziness.
Based on your complaints i feel that it is BPPV. Do not be alarmed, it is very common and very easily treated.
See an ENT specialist.
Till then be careful.
