Meniere’s disease symptoms: Tinnitus is often the earliest symptom of Meniere’s syndrome; vertigo—typically sudden-onset, rotational—is common; patients frequently tilt their head to listen. Under a physician’s guidance, medications such as diuretics, sedatives, and vasodilators may be prescribed—for example, oryzanol combined with promethazine, betahistine, flunarizine capsules, triamterene, or hydrochlorothiazide. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be considered. Patients with Meniere’s disease should ideally remain on bed rest and follow a low-sodium, low-fat, low-salt diet.
