Understand that Ménière's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that can lead to dizzy spells (vertigo) and hearing loss.
Recognize that the symptoms of Ménière's disease are related to the inner ear's role in balance and hearing.
Identify that common symptoms before an attack include vertigo, which is a sensation of spinning or dizziness, and tinnitus, which is a ringing or buzzing noise in one or both ears.
Differentiate these symptoms from those unrelated to Ménière's disease, such as increased heart rate, sweating, shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle weakness, and fatigue.
