My doctor prescribed me flunarizine hydrochloride and the result has
been alleviating the pressure on my left side of the brain. But my
doctor ruled out my having meniere's disease because I don't feel
dizzy. Instead he looks at the vasecular conditions for the cause.

Question: What is the cure/treatment for meniere's disease?

There is no cure. Treatment is symptomatic. Cause is unknown.

If you aren't dizzy you don't have meniere's disease under accepted criteria.

Thank you. When I had good sleep, I don't need flunarizine hydrochloride at all.

Several points worth pondering over:
(1)Could people experience fluid imbalance in their ear without having
to have 'meniere disease'?
(2)Could the initial use of anti-anxiety drugs such as Ativan
camouflage the existence of meniere disease OR a symptom characterized
by fluid imbalance by preventing dizziness from occurring?
