Hi, about 2 1/2 months ago I got weird muffled feeling in my head. No cold or anything. One ear started with tinnitus and fluid. Then it spread to the other. I had dizziness and had pressure. I got severe anxiety over it. I had an episode of tingling in head, neck pain, and hair pain on my legs(only lasted one day) . I went to the er and they sent me home. I went to my pcp and she said I had etd. I got prednisone and it helped. Fast forward a month and a half later and I have been to 3 ENTs who say I'm okay and it will take time. However I had severe tension headache for 2 weeks which had subsided after taking celexa. I still have crackling in my ears and tension in my scalp. I still have headaches daily but randomly and different parts of my head. The chiropractor said my neck is out of alignment which is causing the symptoms in my head. This could be do to anxietybecause I was very tense. I'm scared it is something worse. Had anyone else had these symptoms?

      I don't think I have anything like that. My headaches have now disappeared almost entirely. Still lots of crackling still. Do you get a weird like squelching sound after eating?

      No, after eating noise in the head or ears? My ears make so many sounds of late. Most of the times it sounds like cicadas, but then like a screeching sound at times. Omgosh I hate when that happens..I just seem to have so many issues at once that just don't seem to relate to each other, so makes me wonder why I am getting so many things happening like in last couple of years. It's unreal..Guess I'm trying to find one cut all for them all.

      I wonder if yours could be caused from the jaw. Have you gone ro the dentist and talked to them. Some say on these forums TMJ can cause this..I'm going in June to ck that as well.
