Ear or brain or nerves issue?
Posted , 2 users are following.
Around 2 months ago, i had a normal cold. This cleared up. Then i had sudden lightheadness, a lot of heaviness in my left ear and i felt very ill.
2 months on, my main symptoms are: Lightheadedness (has decreased slowly since first time 2 months ago), Heaviness/pressure in left ear/head, Occasional popping/crackling in left ear, Since the illness struck I have had more frequent bowel movements, I also have twitchy/bubbly feeling on occasion in my calf muscles more noticeable at night. I am more fatigued than usual especially in the evening. My sleeping is not great recently, waking up sometimes 3 or 4 times a night. Very occasional chest tightness. Eyesight – was sensitive to light at beginning of illness, now my eyes sometimes water up and it can be hard to focus.
I am 27 years old and very active. I ran a marathon in April and run a lot in general. This illness has made training more difficult and my ability to perform at my usual high levels.

Did you take anything for your cold that could have triggered this ?

Not usually with a cold but flu type illnesses can give you post viral fatigue syndrome that can drag on for months.
