Suggest Treatment For Inner Ear/sinus Infection

Hi: I have an inner ear/sinus infection. Since presenting with symptoms a week ago (I'm 56 years old and have a previous history of PVC's which appeared to be triggered by stress). Non smoker, no alcohol, very active (cycle 70 miles/week, work out, etc). I also am on meds for high blood pressure - seems to be a genetic issue since I live a healthy lifestyle.

Since presenting with these symptoms a week ago, I've experienced fluttering in the chest, fatigue and dizziness. I've read these are fairly normal symptoms with sinus/inner-ear infections.

Is the infection the likely culprit of these symptoms?

Thanks!
Bonnie

hello..
are you taking treatment for ear infection?
are you taking any medication apart fro BP lowering tablets?
yes inner middle inner ear infections can cause loss of balance syncope like attacks..but flutter in chest is less likely...
as you are elderly it is better to get a clinical evaluation done by a doctor adn an EKG if required..
this is just to rule out the high risk cause

hope my answer helps you
if you have any more queries i would be happy to answer..
