Ears been a problem especially the left one for a few years, doctor eventually did a referral

Hello not feeling well and seems quite a bit of me has things wrong and feel worn out.

pain in my chest on and off and very tired, feel a little sick

Well I just feel so tired really and not right and ears a problem for ages now and getting to me.

Shall list all thats wrong at the moment as might have a bearing on my general health.

I take levothyroxine since 2002 100mg per day and also telfast for allergies.

Plus nasal spray for chronic rhinitis, which again i have had for years.

I had what the doctors said IBS, started in 2013 and then eventually they did some tests. colonooscopy, barium xray and then proctogram.

he colonoscopy Report I was given after the procedure on 6 Feb 17 said

Perianal lesions: 3 haemorrhoids (2nd degree) and skin tag within

The colonoscopy said the below.

Haemorrhoids and mild degree of rectoanal intussuseprion.

?

and the proctogram said,

"This investigation showed the presence of a large enterocele which at the end of the test is compressing the superior aspect of the rectum at the anorectal junction while no intussusception was shown and the rectum was seen to have rapid emptying.  The anorectal angle opens regularly and amoderate sized anterior rectocele was almost completely empty at the end of the test, not to be considered significant and no intussusception was demonstrated.

So the only way to correct this is an operation to hoist it up and use mesh to hold it back and up against my backbone. Going in through my tummy, keyhole and hopefully they wont have to slit me open.  For now not having op as cant afford to be off work or lose my job.

So when I get things back up feel unwell inside but not I have chest pain too in the middle of my chest, thats been building up for a month. the doctor gave me montelukast 10mg to take at night, it opens the airways. he thought maybe due to allergies as I am allergic to grass, trees etc and time of year he thought, but never needed to take these before.  I dont use inhalers.  i have a slight cough at times too, I dont have anything to cough up, just a slight little cough at times.  So not sure what this pain in my chest is. Also feel really tired.

I am having a fasting blood sugar as it was 3.7 when taken recently and that was after a meal. blood test at 2pm. I went to the doctor and said 4 is min and he said others have this level and ok but he will check with a fasting blood test. so if blood sugars low what does that mean?

Work is stressful and I have been through a lot of stress too in 4 years as separated from my husband, then divorced and problems with the older children and having to keep in employment as did not have a perm job so contract and temp work always finding the next job to bring money in.

anyway at the moment just dont know whats wrong just feel so tired, nauseous at times and chest pain, chest pain been there for over a month now thats why I went to the doctors as was getting fed up of it. he listened to my breathing and chest, took blood pressure. peak flow was 320. I am 5ft 2 inches and average weight. Age 54. Non smoker. 

Anyway anyone with chest pain and just feeling oh so tired and no obvious reason yet? and blood sugar 3.7?

wonder if CFS?

I did have glandular fever, never had it before that was in May went back to work after 3 weeks as afraid of losing my contract.  Since then sore throats each day, but not bad bad, little ones, that come and go, weird that. When I had the glandular fever I have never been so hot unless on holiday abroad.  It also felt like someone had sliced off the inside of my throat it was so painful. Could not swallow, hurt all the time.

Also had problems with ears over the last few months. Tinnitus bad but better after de-waxed, as did not know lots of wax in them, but the left ones been bugging me for two years and said to doctors. I self referred to get a hearing test as still not seen by ENT and the referral was sent a year ago, they expedited it but still not seen, it was expedited months ago.  So my left ear is the worse, I have pain in it and its like I feel its puffed out inside, blocked, even though no wax now. You see I did not know I had wax at all but the hearing test at the audiology self referral showed I had high pitch sound loss, other sounds ok and was told this is what goes first. But have never had loud things in my ears only played music in the car and sang along to that.  Been careful with my ears.  So the wax was found by the GPs nurse, not audiology when I went there saying my ear is really bugging me I feel like I want to pull out the insides of my left ear, she said your right is drum I cant see full of was and the left one is not so bad but wax. So softened up for a week and the suctioned out the wax, so both ears clear of wax now. After the right ear feels much better, and no tinnitus in that one, but the left ear still is not right.

The could not stand my left ear so after work went to the doctors and they said come the next day, I said feel like pulling out my ear drum its really getting to me.

I was given Otomize ear spray as the doctor said he could see some skin cells so might be dermatitis in my ear, and given me that to calm it down and better since, but still get pain every now and then radiating into my face, but my ear feels better that it did, although not quite right. 

I have had pain in my face on left side, same side as ear thats bothering me, for years, the doctor said it might be trigeminal neuralgia,but its not there all the time and not bad you can feel it by your ear and then goes along the cheek bone, but its not bad but its there. I wonder if its something to do with a nerve all this ear feeling but its bugging me, the ear feeling is just inside the ear, not way down. Has anyone this feeling?

So all in all feel not good and fed up of not feeling good,  as signed off for 2 weeks but cant take any longer as need the money. 

Thanks

Michele
