Not all ear infections feel the same—and not all of them cause dizziness. 👂
It depends on which part of the ear is affected.

Middle ear concerns may include:
• Ear discomfort
• Pressure or fullness
• Temporary hearing changes
• Occasional mild imbalance

Inner ear concerns are more likely to affect balance:
• Sudden dizziness or spinning sensation
• Nausea
• Trouble walking straight
• Sensitivity to movement

Your inner ear plays a key role in balance, so when it’s irritated, symptoms can feel stronger.

If you're in Denver and experiencing any of these, AFC Urgent Care Denver offers quick, convenient evaluations—no long waits.

April is STD Awareness Month 💙

Many sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) don’t show symptoms, which means you may not know if you have one. That’s why regular testing is an important part of protecting your health.

✔ Many STDs are asymptomatic
✔ Early detection helps support better outcomes
✔ Routine testing is recommended for sexually active individuals

Stay informed. Know your status. Take control of your health.

• May include nausea or vomiting
