Hi welcome to Health care magic forum. You are facing fainting, and along with it tere is ear pressure, as described by you earlier.
The causes of fainting is syncope, hypertension, hypotension, hypoglycemia, sinusinitis etc.
Serc is trade name of betahistine an anti vertigo drug, used for the relief of dizzyness before it is treated. It has a side effect of sleepy ness in large dose , so that is the reason why you are feeling dizzy.
I advise you to consult an E.N.T.surgeon for examination of paranasl sinuses for sinusitis and treatment. Wishing you a quick recovery and thanks for calling.
