What Causes Tinnitus And Dizziness While Suffering From Meniere S Disease?

Hi Doctor, I am a 60 yr old reasonably healthy person. I have been diagnosed recently with initial stages of mineires disease. There is a tingling sound in the ear and when the attack comes it is sudden, and accompanied with giddiness and vomitting. I have been given to believe there is no treatment for this. Is there any treatment in Homeopathy?

Hello Sir..
I understand your concern please.
What you have mentioned are the typical symptoms of meniere's disease. It begins as vertigo and then fluctuating hearing loss and tinnitus.
Please remove the misconception from your mind that meniere's doesnt have a treatment.
As you say that its in initial stages by now, so lets try to manage it with medical therapy first.
first i would say that you get the Electrocochleography and audiogram done again to check if its really meniere's.
If these investigations are done then i would suggest you to avoid coffee, nicotine and have a low salt diet.
Next, Betahistine (Vertin) is a good medical therapy for meniere's.
To relieve dizziness (vertigo) i say you need to take promethazine / cinnarizine. They have sedative properties.

I believe these measures would help you.
please consult if these symptoms donot resolve even after these medications.
We would then think of surgical management.
Thank you.
I find this answer helpful
