What are the symptoms of Meniere's syndrome?

Meniere's syndrome is a disorder of the inner ear, also called Meniere's disease. The occurrence of Meniere's syndrome will actually directly affect the patient's hearing ability, so when you experience a rapid decrease in hearing in your life, you should check your ears in time. In addition, there will also be tinnitus, dizziness, etc., and the duration will be relatively long.

Meniere's disease is an idiopathic inner ear disease, formerly known as Meniere's disease, first proposed by French physician Prosper Ménière in 1861. The main pathological change of this disease is hydrops of the membranous labyrinth, and the clinical manifestations are recurrent episodes of rotational vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus and aural fullness. This disease mostly occurs in middle-aged and young people aged 30 to 50 years old and is rare in children. There is no significant difference in the incidence between men and women. 10% to 50% of patients suffer from the disease in both ears.

1. Vertigo is a severe rotational vertigo that often occurs suddenly without any warning and often wakes the patient up from sleep or in the morning. The patient reported that the objects around him rotated around him, and when he closed his eyes he felt that he was rotating in space. Patients often adopt a forced posture and dare not move, as movement can aggravate the symptoms of vertigo. The patient is conscious during the attack. During an attack, there are symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, cold sweats, pale face and low blood pressure. After a few hours or days, the vertigo symptoms gradually disappear.

2. Hearing impairment is fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss. After the early vertigo symptoms are relieved, the hearing can be largely or completely restored. However, repeated attacks may lead to complete deafness. Some patients are also hypersensitive to high-pitched sounds.

3. Tinnitus is a possible precursor to the onset of symptoms. Tinnitus is a high-pitched sound that may vary in severity. Before an attack, the patient's tinnitus may worsen, and when the attack stops, the tinnitus may gradually disappear.

4. Heaviness in the head and lightness in the feet. A feeling of stuffiness in the head and ear on the same side. Most patients have this symptom, or feel heaviness in the head and lightness in the feet.
