Im a 27yr old female 5'7, and i weigh 285lbs which is super obese i know. but lately i am off balance when i walk and my head and neck hurts bad. I lost my job so no insurance. I went to the ER and they said i have a inner ear infection gave me a benadryll shot and sent me home. Awhile later my symptoms are still here and im really scared. my vision is double and at times blurry and i cant get enough of my bed. Im hot then freezing cold and in the mornings its hard me to wake up and focus. I havent drove my car in awhile because of my vision problems.

Dear kitabug27, If you have an ear infection, it is not going to clear up overnight. You have to take the antibiotics you were prescribed for whatever time period they were ordered for, then return to the doctor for an ear check follow-up appointment. You might look for a free community clinic to attend since you don't have insurance. If you continue to have the other symptoms, I would suggest getting another appointment and have the doctor try to diagnose the problem. Don't guess or rely on third hand suggestions. Only the doctor can diagnose your problems.

It sounds to me like those are all symptoms of high bs. Do you test to see what it is when you feel like this. I suggest walking and losing weight and for sure eating fresh non processed foods, cut the boxed, canned or bagged junk.
