Clinical narrative: I got the Flu shot on Friday 17th October 2014 around 12.15 PM afternoon. This is the first time in my life I got the Flu shot. Next day i.e. on Sat 18th Oct 2014, after my dinner my head started spinning, all the objects and whole environment started moving around till I vomited in 10 minutes. I was not able to eat or drink anything. I was throwing up everything for next couple of days. I shown to my doctor and she says that it is most likely due to virus infection in inner ear and she put me on vomiting medicine. I started recovering in couple of days. But, even after one week, I still has imbalance of body and head. Based on my doctor advised I went for ENT evaluation and the doctor has now prescribed me steroids to reduce the swelling of inner ear due to viral infection, I am going on Monday for hearing test as well. I never had this kind of issue in my life. It just started after the Flu shot, and I strongly feel that its the side effect of that. It might not cause the side effect on everyone otherwise it would have been reported so far.
