Hi,

The human body is so complicated so sometimes it’s difficult to follow a causal link. Apparently, ear related issues could be a sign of GERD/acid reflux (I did a bit of investigation because I nave some heartburn/swallow issues). Fluid in the sinuses and middle ear could be a sign of GERD. The throat communicates with the nasal passages. Two patches of lymph tissue (adenoids) are located where the upper part of the throat joins the nasal passages. The passages from the sinuses and the tubes from the middle ears (Eustachian tubes) open into the rear of the nasal passages near the adenoids. Refluxed liquid that enters the upper throat can inflame the adenoids and cause them to swell. The swollen adenoids then can block the passages from the sinuses and the Eustachian tubes. When the sinuses and middle ears are closed off from the nasal passages by the swelling of the adenoids, fluid accumulates within them. So here it is, a connection between a digestive disorder and dizziness.

All the best.

Alex.
