I've been feeling really dizzy since yesterday whenever I lie down or get up. It also happens when I shake my head. Should I see an ENT specialist for this, or would another specialist be better?

Your symptoms suggest benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a common inner ear disorder; consider consulting an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist or a neurologist for a proper evaluation and treatment, which may include the Epley maneuver or other exercises to help alleviate the dizziness.

I've been told I might need septoplasty surgery and I'm a bit nervous about it. Can you give me an idea of how much this procedure usually costs? I'm trying to plan ahead but not sure what to expect financially for this kind of surgery. Are there different factors that affect the price?

I've been having this weird sensation in my throat for the past month. It feels like something's stuck there, but it doesn't hurt. Sometimes it's right at the top of my throat, other times it's lower down. Eating and swallowing are totally fine, no problems there. Could you give me some advice on what's going on?
From your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of something stuck in your throat without any pain or difficulty swallowing. This sensation is known as globus pharyngeus. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, post-nasal drip, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). To help alleviate this sensation, you can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums (calcium carbonate) to see if it improves. Additionally, drinking plenty of water, avoiding acidic or spicy foods, and practicing relaxation techniques may also be beneficial. If the sensation persists or worsens, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
