Question

My girlfriend is from Mexico and she is here in the uk and suffer's from dizzyness. One of her eardrums is perforated, as in none of it left, would the dampness of the uk cause her to be dizzy? I drier conditions like Mexico she is fine.

Answer 1

It willbe a combination of a perforated eardrum and being in a more oxygen rich environment.

Answer 2

Balance is controlled by the inner ear, although I am not a doctor the possibility she has picked up an infection or virus seems quite likely, her defences may not be quite tuned to our environment as yet. Take her to a Doctor and get her checked out some anti-biotics would soon clear anything like that up.

It is also possible if she is from an area of high altitude the chage to an Oxygen rich environment requires some adjustment. Dizzyness is usally associated with moving from low to high altitude but it may be a factor.

Oh and pollution maybe? Do you live in a loud busy town or city?

wht do u mean by dizzy?
usually referring to a sensation of turning round or whirling.
Alternatively, dizziness may be used to describe a swaying sensation, or a feeling of weakness, faintness, light-headedness or unsteadiness. Occasionally, some individuals say they have blurred vision, feelings of unreality, faints, blackouts or even epileptic fits.
Conditions that affect the inner ear may cause this symptom, because this is where the organ of balance (the labyrinth) is situated; more rarely, conditions that affect the brain may also lead to dizziness. Abnormalities of heart rhythm or falls in blood pressure when standing up may cause the sensation of light-headedness. The most common conditions to affect the inner ear and cause dizziness include Meniere's disease, 'benign positional vertigo' and 'vestibular neuronitis', which is also known as 'viral labyrinthitis' and may result from a viral infection of the labyrinth.
The exact symptoms depend on the actual cause of the dizziness. Patients who have Meniere's disease describe recurrent, severe attacks of rotational dizziness (the feeling of whirling), known as 'vertigo', and deafness and ringing in the ears. These attacks come on suddenly and can last for minutes to an hour or longer. They are usually so severe that the person cannot stand or walk and may have nausea and vomiting. There may also be a feeling of fullness in the ear. The attacks may occur several times a week for many weeks on end, or they may disappear on their own for several years.

Benign positional vertigo is another problem of the inner ear. Episodes of rotational dizziness are triggered when the person's head is moved into specific positions. It usually occurs when lying down in bed or when the head is tilted backwards. Occasionally, a sudden turn of the person's head triggers vertigo for a few seconds. This condition is more common in elderly people.

Viral labyrinthitis is a condition that occurs mostly in young adults, although children and older people may be affected. It is often preceded by a cold or flu-like illness when a sensation of being top heavy or off balance may be felt. There is a sudden onset of severe vertigo, nausea, vomiting and the need to remain still. Symptoms usually last for hours, although they may occasionally last for several days. This condition is thought to be caused by a viral infection of the labyrinth.

Very rarely, tumours affecting the nerve that supplies the inner ear may cause dizziness. This condition is almost always associated with deafness in the affected ear.

Dizziness is a common complaint of people who suffer from migraine (see separate Factsheet).

Rotational dizziness in elderly people may result from interruption of the blood supply to the base of the brain. It is rare, however, for this condition to cause dizziness alone and there are usually other symptoms of disturbed brain function. Very rarely, multiple sclerosis may cause rotational dizziness in young adults. However, other symptoms of this condition are usually also present.
