It happened to me and never went away. Thats how I found out I had meniere's. Go see an ENT tomorrow if you can. He should give you Valium to calm it down a bit.
I got referred to a neuro-otologist that diagnosed me. I had to do vestibular rehab and all kinds of testing. I know take a diuretic daily as well as Ativan and I do pretty good. I still get the vision problems especially around mirrors. I still fly but took a break for a bit. Use sudafed and nose spray and constantly try to equalize.

Could you go into a little more detail with your symptoms?

I don't fly often but when I do I get ear pain on MD80s. 737 and small planes not a problem. Starts when they pull power a little to start descent and lasts till touchdown. I also worked with a guy that had Maniere. It would cause him balance problems to point of motion sickness.
