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.

I recently got into a fight and ended up being slapped really hard, like twice or thrice on the left side of my face, near my ear and cheek, and close to my eye area. Right after, I had some bleeding inside my mouth, probably from biting down with my teeth. The next morning, I noticed a ringing in my ear, but there wasn't any pain. I'm struggling to hear as well out of that ear compared to the other one. There's also some swelling on my face. I'm guessing my hearing is around 50 to 60 percent, but it's just a rough estimate. Should I be worried about this? What do you think is going on with my ear and hearing?
Visit ENT doctor and get audiometry done to rule out any hearing impairement.
