I am going to bump this thread as I am really starting to suspect that I have a perilymph fistula, cerebral spinal leak or some other leak.
When I perform the perilymph fistula test and apply pressure to my tragus (flap near ear canal opening) I experience a fluid like sensation in the ear and perhaps in other places. I only experience this with the left ear. Interestingly I experience positional vertigo on the left side.
I first did this after I experienced ear pain after taking effexor. The pain and dizziness subsided somewhat after performing this maneuver
