Thank you Fedfan. I appreciate your post. Sorry taken a bit to reply. I've been too poorly.
Long story short, ENT was as I feared, was no help. He did all the tests. 'Normal'
I knew it would. Ears clear and perfect. No blockage.
But my ears pain, pressure and tinitus are anything but normal and I'm in tears everyday.
Having M.E/CFS I need to lie down most of the day. This has become so painful and unbearable since pressure, fullness, plugged pain and tinitus in my ears arrived 2 months ago.
Lying down increases pressure.....if you already have awful plugged, blocked pressure feeling ears, lying down makes it feel like your eardrums are going to explode....it also increases the tinitus lying ďown from pressure....and the anxiety and stress I feel because I cannot rest properly feeling such discomfort increases the pressure too.
I'm struggling so much. Even if I'm propped up, the pressure builds as my neck at an angle puts pressure on neck and ears. I cannot rest sat up. Its too exhausting.
The pain radiates to my face, jaw, gums, teeth, neck and no one can offer any help. As to them nothing is wrong. My face was literally throbbing today as we're my teeth...huge pressure in my face with muscle twitching in my face.....just feel suffocated.
Clearly its hormonal.
I cried all day today as how can I rest as I need to every day...when this hideous symptom has now come? I'm really frightened. It's such a distressing feeling that pressure build up. Muffled hearing...noise is painful!
Plus the million other peri symptoms I have.
For the first time since Summer, I thought today for a moment that I can't go on.
Feel utterly stuck. Terrified of what's next.
