Headache for 4 weeks, intense ear pressure
Posted , 10 users are following.
Please help I need to know I'm not alone. It all started 4 weeks ago, with a dull headache over my left eye to the base of skull. I was pretty sure it was tension. It didn't go away, and about 2 weeks ago I started getting head and ear pressure off and on all day everyday. I went to urgent care and the NP said it was "probably" a sinus infection. Took the meds, and they didn't help. I went to the ER and they did CT of head and sinuses. Said all was normal. Prescribed me zyrtek... I have tried a Neio pot, tylenol, alieve and the pain relievers work for an hour or so. When I went to Urgent care she said I have TMJ. I am also a super tense and anxious person (health anxiety). But from my temples to neck, i get this crazy pressure. I'm so misserable, and I want it to GO away. My next stop is ENT. Anyone experience this?

You are not alone, I started more than 15 days ago with a weird senastion in my head and my ears, I always told the Drs Family, and ENT this symptoms , and the Diagnosis was Sinus pressure due to allergies. I was under torture, I couldn't sleep because I felt my heart beats. I was twice on emergency room looking for a relieve, I was a Zombie. They ordered Ctscan and MRI of my brain; those were normal. Finaly I received a recommendation to go to specific specialist on ears (sorry about my writing, I am not native american) and finaly he said with only my clinic symptoms, EDT . I am not 100 percent now but I have a diagnosis. He ordered a machine ear poper that didn.t come yet. I hope I will be better soon. I forgot The TMJ was on the table and I received prescription like Antibiotics, pain killers, Valium, etc.

Hannah everything you said is dead on!!! I get this pressure by my temples or like at the top of my head 🙄🙄 drives me nuts!!! For a few weeks I’ve been extremely congested like I would go through a roll of tissue like nobody’s business and waking up in the middle of the night because I couldn’t breath out of either of my nostrils. I went to the doctor about 3 days ago and she told me that I had fluid build up behind both of my ears 🙄🙄 (ETD) I’ve been on steroids since (Prednisone) She told me to take 2 a day for 5 days and it’s definitely stopped the vibrating in my ear & less pain but here and there I get the pressure in my head and temples. Now I too suffer from servere anxiety and I always think the absolute worst ! I’m constantly googling my symptoms and that doesn’t make it any better really it just freaks me out even more to the point where my symptoms get worse! But if I’m out and about having fun I don’t feel a thing but the moment I’m alone it’s like hell!! I’m constantly touching my head and grinding my teeth because I’m nervous...I just wanna feel normal again as well 😭😭😭😭
