I was just diagnosed with an ear infection I think I have had for some time. Intermittently, only in the car- on longer drives and in traffic or up and down hills - I ve felt like dizzy then my shoulders would feel tight and it would feel like my heart was racing- I d feel some nausea- if I could get out of the car and walk around- sip water and calm down it would be better- but might come back during the drive. Once I felt like a giant muscle spams contracted my shoulders and upper back and I felt better immediately. I can t predict when it would happen. Yesterday I felt so dizzy just driving to the bank I felt like I was going to black out- as soon as I got out of the car I felt better. I went to the dr- Double ear and sinus infection- one ear very full. She said the rest sounds vertigo- ish- she also gave he Alavert. Any thoughts?
