thank you so much for this thread. I was having severe vertigo since last 7 years and have seen numerous doctors and 3 ENTs! I was diagnosed with BPPV and Meinier's disease so I decided to get second opinion. Based on the reviews, I went and visited Dr Koay Cheng Eng at Sunway today (27/12/2016). The waiting was bearable (it was first come first serve basis), I waited 30 min (had nice breakfast downstairs).

I told him my history (was once warded for a week as I had severe vertigo when I was pregnant few years back) etc. He was very patient and thorough. Never once dismissed my questions (like whether diabetes triggered vertigo or whether special pillow etc). He checked my ears and nose and noticed that (a) my nose is very swollen and it affect the pressure to the ears (b) my ears are not that shiny, it means that not much pressure was inside.

He also said that he thinks that my vertigo is due to the less pressure to the inner ear as both my nose and ear are problematic, he sprayed some liquid inside and treated my ear (my ear was bruised as I have itchy ears and always "korek" them). he said need to see him 3-4 times to cure the itchiness. then he gave me nasal spray to ensure that the swelling continues to subside.

I broach the subject of operation but he said to try the medication first biggrin.gif

Overall it was very pleasant! can't wait to see him again next week! Not sure on the charges as I am using my company's insurance, but from the system, the amount is RM500 (not finalised yet)
