Hi,
Noted your history of having noise and fluid like feeling in ears and head, giddiness, pressure in head, stiffness in left ear, vibration in body like loosing balance, all these things giving anxiety and also have slight pain in chest and left arm. Since there is history of pain in chest and left arm, EKG and cardiac check up should be done asap.
As for all the feeling you have explained the probable causes I can think of are as follows:
* Left ear fluid inside the middle ear.
* Inflammation of the inner ear structure like vestibulo-cochlear apparatus.
* Any general disease like Typhoid can also cause similar symptoms as you are having these problems for a long time.
Hence I would advise you to consult your Doctor for preliminary examination, diagnosis and proper management to start with and get a referral to an ENT Surgeon for further evaluation, ENT endoscopy, CT scan of mastoids and audiometry to get the most accurate diagnosis so that an appropriate management can be started.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
