메니에르병은 처음 들어봅니다. 원인불명의 병은 참 무서운 것 같습니다. 스트레스, 과로, 불면증이 증상을 악화시킨다고 하셨는데 스트레스, 과로, 불면증 등으로 그 병이 발현된건 아닌지 조심스레 생각 해 봅니다. 제가 공황장애가 걸리기 전에 원형탈모가 있었고, 이명과 어지럼증으로 이비인후과 진료도 받았던 기억이 있습니다. 몸에서 여러기지로 신호를 주었는데 제가 몰랐던 것 같습니다. 심한 스트레스 상황이었는데 스트레스를 받고 있다는 것조차 몰랐습니다. 의사선생님에 따라 진단과 치료방법이 다를 수 있으니 다른 이비인후과도 한 번 방문 해 보시는 것도 좋을 것 같습니다.
For the past two or three months, I have occasionally experienced tinnitus and a feeling of fullness in my ears.
Recently, the symptoms have worsened, and when I fly on an airplane and experience pressure changes, I feel a muffled sensation in my ears and difficulty hearing, which lasts for several hours, along with dizziness. I visited the hospital, and I was told that my left ear's hearing ability has significantly decreased compared to my right ear.
According to the doctor's opinion, it is suspected to be Meniere's disease. This disease is not definitively diagnosable based on specific symptoms, and there is no clear cause or definitive treatment available.
He advised to watch out for stress, overwork, and insomnia, and mentioned that the symptoms are not yet severe, so we should monitor the progress and manage accordingly. After receiving a four-day medication prescription and feeling better while taking the medication, the symptoms have started to reappear.
This disease is serious, and when symptoms worsen, it becomes so debilitating that daily life becomes completely impossible.
I'm not quite at that level yet, but I worry about what might happen if it gets worse. If anyone has similar symptoms or has been diagnosed with this condition, please share how you usually manage it.
