I'm wondering if there's any chance that my positional vertigo could be linked to my ongoing issues with indigestion, acidity, and other gastric problems. I've been dealing with this for about four years now, and it really feels like my vertigo might be connected to these digestive issues. Could you help me understand if there's a connection?

Positional vertigo is typically caused by inner ear problems rather than indigestion, acidity, or gastric problems. However, it is possible for these gastrointestinal issues to indirectly exacerbate vertigo symptoms due to the close connection between the inner ear and the digestive system. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Meclizine (brand name: Bonine) for vertigo and antacids like Tums for indigestion and acidity. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and managing stress levels can also help improve your overall well-being.

View allI've got this white, pearly, bumpy papule-like growth on my right tonsil. It doesn't hurt, but I can really feel it when I'm swallowing, like there's something stuck in my throat. I've also noticed a slight ache in my right ear. What could this be?

Can any bug actually make its way to the brain through the ear? Kind of like how a tapeworm can reach the brain through eating cabbage? Ive been curious if there's any risk like that with insects.

I have a deviated nasal septum and surgery isn't an option for me right now are there any long-term fixes that can help with breathing better or reducing discomfort without going under the knife?
Surgery is the only way to fix a deviated septum. A deviated septum that causes no symptoms needs no treatment. If allergies or sinus problems are making symptoms worse, a healthcare professional might suggest using decongestants, antihistamines or nasal steroid sprays to manage symptoms
