What Causes Dizziness While Bowing Nose?

Hi the other day my nose was a little stuffy and I decided to blow my nose. When I did so I heard a sharp noise or squeak in one of my ears. I got tremendously dizzy and had to go to the ground because I thought I was going to vomit or pass out. I have a bad headache and I feel bad. This isn t the first time this same ear has squeaked before, but I have never gotten dizzy. This was the worst dizziness I have ever experienced. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . Sometimes when we blow nose forcefully it causes mucus to flow in Eustachian tube which travel all the way to middle ear and causes symptoms your mention in your query . Eustachian tube connects meddle year to upper throat and balance air pressure of middle year .

This condition is known as Eustachian tube disorder , which require medical attention because it can lead to middle ear infection.

I would suggest you to to consult ENT specialist (ear,nose,throat) and neurosurgeon also for proper examination and to rule out other causes like increase in intracranial pressure . Doctor may prescribe antibiotic course and decongestant and antiemetic drugs for nausea .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
