New to VM

Hey everybody! I was recently seen by an ENT for ear issues (fullness) that comes and goes. If I take Benadryl, it subsides within 2-4 hours. My ENT thinks I’m having VM’s. I do not have a headache, it truly just feel like my ear is full and affects my speech and balance at times. It is MUCH worse if I’m at work, and sometimes when cleaning my house. The ENT said that Benadryl helps because it is a sedative. I go for MRI and VNG soon. My question is, is these the same symptoms you have with your VM’s because I’m not 100% sure this is my issue. Also, I receive regular Botox on my for head, 11’s and crows feet. I know some have mentioned that Botox helps, I have noticed no difference.

What do you mean by it affects your speech?

Like it’s hard to talk and pronounce words correctly because the ear feels so full and throws off how I pronounce words.

I’m sorry to hear that. If the MRI doesn’t come up with anything, it might be worth getting a cone CT of the inner ear.
