What Causes Dizzy Spells And Loss Of Balance With Ears Feeling Full?

I have Pseudo Tumor Cerebri. The last few months I have been getting dizzy spells and loosing my balance. Over the past few days, I have been getting very bad spells, even when sitting, they last several minutes and make the bottom of my face numb and my ears feel plugged or full. My left arm feels numb/tingly. And I feel as if I m in a tunnel or like I can t connect with everything. My family wants to take me to the ER because my Dr. can t see me until next week. Any thoughts?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of Pseudo tumor cerebi, spells of dizziness, numbness of face, ears and plugging of the ears.
You have to visit the Neurologist and if you have already shown to someone, take another opinion of another Neurologist.
the feeling of numbness of the left arm indicate that you need another MRI to see any changes than were seen in the last MRI.

Till then, you have to visit ER.

I hope this answers your query.
