Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I was our in the heat a couple of summers ago, and I had no idea that I had an ear infection. I ended up suddenly sick, the sky spinning above my head and I fell flat on my face. So here is my frantic hubby was trying to get me cooled down... I was in the meanwhile lying there, grasping the grass with my hands and afraid I would fall clean off the planet... Turned out to be a hidden ear infection. Was dizzy for over a week, and still sometimes have er-accurances if I get too hot. The Doc says I actually ended up with a scarred ear drum... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All infections are a result of waste and toxins. Bacteria come in to clean up the waste and your body reacts to their waste and sends in the WBC's to clean up the bacteria. Viscious cycle at best. Cleansing the body of wastes, lots of raw foods and juices, plenty of super tonic, and echinacea + astragalus would have handled it quite nicely. Also the garlic and mullein in the ears. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I have had that as well. My Oncologist could not explain it, but I have come to believe it was an issue with blood pressure. I am on Tasigna and while I have always had a steady 126/68 BP, mine has been climbing the 18 months I have been on Tasigna. In fact at my last visist it was 155/112. When it was that high, I got the same dizzy feeling, so in my mind, that is what it was. Are you on Gleevec? Ant other significant side effects. This may sound awful, but it is comforting someone else has experienced it. I thought it was unrelated to meds, but with someone else reporting it that makes it more likely to be associated with treatment.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I don't recall having dizzy spells while on Gleevec, but I have had vertigo, several times. An ENT can give you some tests to tell if it is vertigo. There are things you can do to help vertigo, but for other dizziness, I have no idea.
