Naomi, I think, I read in a discussion on the meniere's forum that some people with Meniere's don't have vertigo. I have had symptoms you describe without the vertigo hopefully that doesn't start for you. A lot of my symptoms are caused from an environmental toxin such as smoke, perfume, cleaners etc. There are a lot of foods I don't test allergic to but I am sensitive to such as tomatoes, chicken,etc, anything with citric acid or additives in them. Eating them doesn't cause me a rash, sneezing, or the typical reaction but it will cause my ears to feel full or congestion. Can you take antihistamines? Even if it isn't an allergy the AH should help remove the fluid. If it is Meniere's you want to be careful not to get water or any liquid in your ears or it could cause vertigo. Hope you figure this out soon. By the way, I didn't get an email but I've been having computer problems so that may be the reason.
