The symptoms of Meniere’s disease vary from person to person. The main symptoms of the onset period are: the onset is sudden, which can occur at any time, even after falling asleep.The most common symptoms are: when the patient opens his eyes, he feels that the house or surrounding objects are turning; when he closes his eyes, he feels his body is rotating. When the dizziness is violent, the patient may suddenly fall to the ground.During the attack, the symptoms will be aggravated when the patient opens his eyes or turns his head. Therefore, most patients lie still with their eyes closed, and dare not move their head and body.Most patients have unilateral tinnitus and deafness at the onset, and a few have bilateral tinnitus.About 25% of patients had tinnitus and deafness before the onset, and they worsened after the onset.

The remaining 25% only gradually developed tinnitus or deafness after the onset.Deafness is neurological, and tinnitus is also aggravated when the attack is severe. During the attack, the patient is often accompanied by a series of symptoms such as fear of opening eyes, nausea, vomiting, pale complexion, sweating, and even diarrhea, and mostly low blood pressure.Some patients have headaches; the general patients are conscious.

There are two forms of the transition from the attack period to the intermittent period: one is the sudden disappearance of dizziness and accompanying symptoms, and the other is that the dizziness gradually changes to dizziness and gradually subsides.The length of the intermittent period of Meniere’s disease varies from several months to several years, and its onset and severity vary from time to time.The hearing gradually decreases with the increase in the number of attacks, and finally leads to deafness.
