Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have ringing ears, pounding head and discolored vision. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like sinusitis , middle ear infection or condition like meniere's disease . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan along with examination of ear with otoscope and taking history .. Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug along with antibiotics like amoxicillin or penicillin , anti inflammatory and decongestant . Doctor may also rule out eustachian tube dysfunction or recommend vestibular therapy . For now avoid bending forward , drink green tea with ginger , apply dry warm compresses on face and external ear .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
