This is new (like two weeks new), and I'm still trying to wrap my mind around what's happening to me. I guess I've had tell-tale signs. When I was in grad school, stressed out and sleep deprived, I noticed a strange pressure-change feeling between my ears; felt it again when I went off an antidepressant and suffered withdrawal in my mid-30's. Four years ago, I had a terrible bout of vertigo and had to miss work. Even lying down didn't help. Then, two weeks ago, I had a bout of vertigo that made me vomit, and I was able to fall asleep but woke up with tinnitus, which has been with me ever since. It's worst when it wakes me up around 4:30 each morning with a shrill tone and tachycardia (racing heart). I have Atrial Tachycardia but it's been controlled for years, so I'm not sure why it's started up, and this time with T. So far, I've been to audiology, and was diagnosed with mild hearing loss. I'm concerned that the confluence of symptoms could be Meniere's. See the ENT tomorrow. This is my first time joining an online forum and posting about myself. 2020, what other new things do you have in store for me?
