anxiety and derealization due to inner ear problem?
hello everyone,Im 19, in about the first or second week of may i got a really really bad flu that lasted for a few days, like always I never went to the doctor because I thought it was a normal flu and i took over the counter medicine for sinus problems. Well in june the 3rd or 4th I started having really bad panic attacks(I have had panic attacks before because of acid reflux I had that made me have asthma like symptoms(shortness of breath) but it usually after the panic attack was gone i felt better. This time it got so bad that even after days had passed from my attack, I noticed that I felt dizzy all day and every time I burped I had this really annoying sound in my left ear and everytime i pass saliva, my right ear pops.I went to a ent doctor and he said he thought it was labyrinthitis and he only gave some nasal spray and betamethasone.The brain fog, unreality,surreal feeling is always there, a few weeks ago the dizziness stopped but it came back like 3 days ago and I feel like im going to loose it.I always have mucus in my throat,nose, I have blurry vision when looking at far away things,feeling panicky, eye floaters ever ytime I look at the sky, and my right ear always pops, sometimes I get a little pain in my right ear,tinnitus, every time I burp I have a really annoying wind blowing sound in my left ear like if I have something stuck in my ear, but my ears have already been checked so my doctor said it was probably inner ear. Im seeing another ENT doctor this thursday i’m so excited, but this feeling of unreality and terror I feel like im in a dream and i cant wake up, it feels like i’m going insane but im not. And the dizziness gets worst always when i walk.I have tinnitus,twitching,blurry vision from far objects,I have had pain in my right eye.I have been prescribed anti depressants and xanax before but I refuse to take them because ive heard horrible stories about it.I take seven blossoms herbal tea to calm me down Somebody please help me I cant live like this anymore, I cant go outside walking too much or I will the feel like i’m going to faint. oh and on top of it I have a random cracking sound in my throat, never had a ct scan or anything.This is ruining my social life please help

I’m glad you’re getting a second opinion. I’ve had similar symptoms from sinus infections (sinusitis), which cause congestion in the Eustachian Tube, which accounts for most of the noises. Sinusitis can also easily lead to an inner ear infection which will make you have a motion sickness type dizziness. Sinusitis can also affect your tonsils and adenoids. You don’t necessarily get a thick discharge from your nose when having sinusitis, but can have drainage down the throat.
Your second doctor should try a course of amoxicillin or ampicillin for at least 14 days before trying anything else. Your first doctor seems to have given you an arcane diagnosis, and the medicine is only making things worse. Good luck to you, and I hope you feel better soon!!
