Vertigo

i had a bad spell of vertigo a while back, had it for 2/3 weeks, was off work for ages. anyway im grand now, i was just wondering if the vertigo could be triggered off again if i flew, im going on holidays and was wondering if the air pressure could cause my middle ear infection to come back. im near sure the reason how i got the vertigo the first time was because i cleaned my ears and pushed the cotton bud in too far. anyone know if the pressure could cause it to come back?

    i doubt the pressure could trigger off another infection, but it could give you a few dodge symptoms.

    you can buy little gizmos from the chemist that you put in your ears when you're flying to regulate the pressure.

    have a chat to a pharmacist or gp, they'll know more.
