Hi dear ,

The symptoms you mention in query are probable due to a condition known as Meniere's disease . Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear . It occur due to abnormal volume or composition of fluid in the inner ear. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and to rule out other conditions like acoustic neuroma and inner ear infection . Doctor may order certain test to confirm diagnosis like Hearing Test , Balance Tests , Videonystagmography and Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials testing . Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drugs , recommend hearing aid , vestibular nerve section procedure or Meniett device .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
