Recently I have been experiencing alot of pressure in my head and my right ear seems to be ringing and feeling blocked all the time. I am tired and suffer nausea and the odd vomiting. When I get the pressure in my head it makes me feel really spacey. I have been to the doctor and they say its sinus problems, then they say its a tension headaches and put me on propanalol. This medication did nothing but make my chest sore, my heart race and give me asthma, so since coming off it I am suffering asthma as well as the problems above. I went back to the doctor she said it was anxiety but the only anxiety I have had is this problem it scares me. I suffer headaches also now since coming off the medication. I'm running out of ideas on what to do. Any ideas?:(

I would try an ear, nose and throat specialist. The problem to me sounds like it is in your inner ear. If you have water or some type of blockage in the inner ear, it can cause nausea, dizziness and even vomiting.

So sorry that what they prescribed gave you asthma. Are they treating you now for that? Hopefully it is a temporary respiratory problem and will go away once the medication is out of your system.

Take care and let us know how it goes.

Thanks for that I will go back to another doctor tommorrow and see if she will give me a referal. Yeah on an asthma inhaler but just annoying that they put me on some tablets that caused more problems. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks.

There is something known as POTS. It is a condition that isn't really dangerous. When someone with POTS goes to a standing position, their blood pressure drops down low. As a result of the blood pressure change you get a weird sensation in your head, pressure, and some people even pass out.

Just a quick thought.

Thanks for that, the pressure seems to be constant even when lying down or trying to sleep. I went back to doctor the day before yesterday they have once again put it down to anxiety and put me on anti depressants now the anti depressant they gave me has reacted to me and I have been nauseated 24/7 and vomiting, so now have to wait 3 days for that to pass apparantly. One thing after another!!!

I would definitely get yourself to an ENT...as someone already suggested, sounds like an inner ear problem.

Look up "cholesteatoma" -- my husband just had surgery for this, and it can be very DANGEROUS if not treated.

Just a thought.

Thanks for that, would a doctor be able to tell this from checking my ear drum?
