I have a vestibular disorder, causes imbalance, fatigue and poor concentration. Getting a cold can send me off whack for a month or more but with no outward symptoms people think I'm swinging the lead.
Best way to describe it is having too much to drink at lunchtime, after the nice parts worn off and you're stuck at work feeling like shit.

Looking at those symptoms I’ve also had vertigo, nothing to do with heights, more to do with extreme stress so I really sympathise if you get that dizziness with it. Tinnitus has been on and off most of my life, nothing too serious there though, just the occasional ringing like radio waves passing through or a low hum. Haven’t had that for a few years though.
Have you looked into natural remedies? A healthy diet is crucial. We are what we eat/drink.
At one point it was so debilitating that I would have drunk goats piss if it would have helped. Since being diagnosed with it I take betahistine and fins paracetamol to work well on the dYs the other tablet isn't work so good. Got tinnitiss also constant. These days it's stress or illness that trigger it the most. Kept a track on my diet d nt seem to make much difference.
Always open to any natural remedies though
My husband has Ménière's disease, sounds like what you have. I notice it is worse when he is stressed, not eaten enough or in a hot climate. He takes Betahistine . Scares me when he has a bad one as he looks quite vacant and disorientated and has put me off traveling alone with him... on top of prostate cancer.
Oh sorry to hear that Bella. Meneires is a bastard. I was terrified that's what it was before being diagnosed as vestibular. Ii have a friend with it and she has been bed bound for days with it.

It's not that bad , a couple of hours at the most and he gets a warning when it coming on.
