Posted recently about vax causing me ear Symptoms started two weeks ago..started with a big headache then went away with painkillers.. then a day later here are my symptoms:

constant lightheaded/dizzy
feeling of being on a rocky boat
on/ off pressure in head and sinuses
head & ear fullness
brain fog
cold feeling in one ear
ears feel like need popping

no hearing loss i dont feel like its menieres as it doesnt come on in attacks and im just constantly lightheaded . I am wobbly on my feet walking but sat still & driving im fine.
doc has prescribed anti sickness tablets and referred to ENT but said it could be labrynthitis, vestibulur neuritis or menieres ? Or maybe post inflammatory condition by vaccine ?

I had exactly this after me first AZ vax
Lasted about 5 weeks in total, 3 trips to GP, bloods taken. No cause found, but it started about 1 week after vax so I put it down to that. It went away unaided eventually abs didn’t come back again with 2nd vax but it was so horrible. Headaches, dizziness, felt drunk pretty much all day every day, ears felt very full.
So I have no advice to offer, but I sympathise and in my case it did just resolve naturally x

I had exactly these symptoms about 3 or 4 years ago. I used some ear drops and it cleared, although it wasn't a quick recovery.

Was just olive oil drops if I remember rightly. It melts the wax

Its a known side effect of the vaccine but nobody wants to hear that

This. I’d yellow card it. It will get better. Take antihistamines for the dizziness and brain fog ( ideally those used for travel sickness for dizziness) and try a steroid nasal spray. Take some high dose vitamin c (> 1000mg).

It’s also really common with covid.

Yes @JS87 your exactly right it's a living hell from this so called safe vaccine. I'm currently on a high dose of vitamins and minerals to try and reduce the inflammation in my body! It's hell I've felt suicidal from 3 weeks of this and having to shell out to go privately costing me money I don't have to go and see ENT privately. I'm praying it will calm down soon but right now I wouldn't wish it on anyone x
