loss, tinnitus, and pressure in one ear.&nbsp;The treatment is aimed at counteracting stress, but there are also medicines that can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of Meniere&#8217;s disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These symptoms are common in <strong>Meniere&#8217;s disease<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You get severe\u00a0dizziness\u00a0without doing anything special.<\/li><li>The dizziness lasts between twenty minutes and up to six hours.<\/li><li>The dizziness gets worse as you move your head.<\/li><li>Feeling sick and vomit.<\/li><li>You get\u00a0hearing loss\u00a0in one ear at the same time as the dizziness.<\/li><li>Getting a lid for one ear.<\/li><li>You get\u00a0tinnitus\u00a0in one ear.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Between the attacks, you feel as usual but you can hear badly and have lids and tinnitus in one ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most typical <strong>symptom of Meniere&#8217;s disease<\/strong> is that the symptoms from the ears vary.&nbsp;Sometimes you hear badly and have a lot of tinnitus, sometimes the hearing is good and you have no tinnitus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can get confessions before the attack<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people can feel that an attack is about to take place.&nbsp;It can be felt for an hour up to a few days before.&nbsp;Then you can get <em>symptoms of Meniere&#8217;s disease<\/em> such as sound distortion, tinnitus, and pressure in one ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Varies how often the attacks come<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It varies greatly how often the attacks come.&nbsp;You may have repeated, frequent seizures, but sometimes it can take years without any symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the long term, the disease often causes hearing loss and tinnitus on one ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When and where should I seek care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investigations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important examination is a&nbsp;hearing examination.&nbsp;It should be done when you experience hearing loss.&nbsp;If the hearing symptoms with&nbsp;impaired hearing, cap and&nbsp;tinnitus&nbsp;have disappeared, you may sometimes have to come back and do the test when you feel the fear is worse again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctor also makes tests to rule out that the dizziness is due to something else.&nbsp;Sometimes a&nbsp;magnetic camera examination&nbsp;is done.&nbsp;You often get a&nbsp;referral&nbsp;to an ear-nose-throat doctor for further investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no blood test or other examination to show that you have <em>Meniere&#8217;s disease<\/em>.&nbsp;The diagnosis is made when the doctor finds the varying hearing loss that is typical of Meniere&#8217;s disease and when you have recurrent seizures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment of Meniere&#8217;s disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is good to avoid harmful&nbsp;stress, to reduce the salt in the food and to be physically active.&nbsp;It is also good to get enough&nbsp;sleep&nbsp;and rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is currently no <strong>treatment of Meniere&#8217;s disease<\/strong> that can help against hearing loss and tinnitus.&nbsp;But there are treatments that relieve, for example, the use of&nbsp;hearing aids&nbsp;and&nbsp;KBT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of dizziness, you can take medicines that reduce dizziness and nausea.&nbsp;You can take these if you have a feeling that an attack is coming.&nbsp;This <em>treatment of Meniere&#8217;s disease<\/em> may suffice if you only have a few seizures a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You who have major problems with frequent attacks can receive treatment so that the attacks can disappear completely.&nbsp;It may be, for example, a small&nbsp;tube through the eardrum&nbsp;or fluid-propelling drug.&nbsp;It is up to the doctor and you to come together to decide which <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">treatment of Meniere&#8217;s disease<\/span> is best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During periods of frequent seizures, you can take drugs for dizziness two to three times a day for two to four weeks.&nbsp;It can relieve and help stop the period of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">symptoms of Meniere&#8217;s disease<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens in the body?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not clear what Meniere&#8217;s disease is due to.&nbsp;The disease is thought to be due to a disturbed regulation of the pressure in the fluid-filled passages in the&nbsp;inner ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The risk of getting the disease increases if you have a close relative who has <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Meniere&#8217;s disease<\/span> or if you have or have had a&nbsp;migraine.&nbsp;Sometimes you can have migraine attacks with just dizziness, nausea and vomiting without headaches.&nbsp;This form of migraine is difficult to distinguish from Meniere&#8217;s disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people with the disease have a rather mild form with occasional dizziness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, the problems start at age 40, sometimes later.&nbsp;It is very rare for children to get Meniere&#8217;s disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Influence and participate in your care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can seek care at any medical center or open specialist clinic you want throughout the country.&nbsp;Sometimes&nbsp;a referral&nbsp;to the open specialized care is&nbsp;required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meniere&#8217;s disease
