Ear Infection??

[bucutie02]

Okay well I am going to the doctor tomorrow, but I was wondering if any of you have had this before and could tell me what it is....


About two weekends ago, I woke up and my ears would pop everytime I would open my mouth or chew gum or drink fluids. Also, at some points during the day, i would be able to hear better than other times. Luckily it went away, and I thought okay no big deal.

Well the past week, the same thing has been going on, and it is driving me nuts- so I finally made an appointment to see the doctor.

On saturday however, for about 10-15 minutes I got really dizzy- then it went away. Yesterday at work, the same thing happened, and I could hardly stand up so I didnt go back to work after lunch. The doctor had no openings for me yesterday, so I had to keep my appointment for thursday. She said to take a decongestant, and that I probably got dizzy because of the problems with my ears.

So, I am thinking, what is going on? My ears dont hurt, I dont have any other symptoms whatsoever, I havent been swimming?? To me it seems like I have fluid in my ears, but I dont know how or why. I havent had any drainage, but the "fluid" if that is what I have, is kind of messing with my equilibrium.

Any suggestions?
