I have an intermittent low hum in my right ear only. It sometimes goes ‘on and off’ when I turn my head from side to side. It also sometimes starts if I press around my earlobe area. Sometimes it is in synch with my heartbeat and other times it is just a continuous hum. I have had my ear checked and my wax is normal levels and there is no damage to my eardrum. I am 49 yr old male.

On Monday, Nov 20th, I woke up and stood up out of bed to stretch. The next thing I remember is waking up on the floor. I typically run slightly hypotensive and must’ve created some kind of pressure change internally during the stretch. I fainted and fell onto the floor. Thankfully, I did not lose consciousness after hitting the floor and was not alone. My nose, although extremely painful and lacerated, was not deformed. My bf (an EMT) and I (nursing student) assessed the situation and deemed it necessary to seek medical attention at the time (4hr drive away from vacation location). Within a few hours, nasal swelling and facial bruising around and under the eyes became apparent. Although the pain has slightly subsided 6 days later, and the bruising is less, I am now experiencing difficulty inhaling through one of my nares. I am wondering if this is from internal swelling from the trauma done to the soft tissue or if I may have a deviated septum without an external deformity from an unconfirmed nasal fracture?

I’ve had a bump on my eyelid for over a week. At first I believed it was a cyst but it won’t subside and is larger. I don’t know what it is or how to deal with it, hopefully it isn’t as serious and will go away but please help me identify what this bump is, the cause and solution.

My son is a 32 yr old 6′ 2″ 195 lb seemingly healthy man EXCEPT sometimes when he eats within the first bite of food his throats will block up. It will constrict causing pain but relax. Sometimes after a minute or more the food will work it’s way down and he can continue to eat but on many occasions the food will not go down. He can not eat or drink anything as nothing will pass he then will have to make himself throw up to dislodge the food. But will not then be able to eat for a long while. This might happen15-20 times a month. He has tried drinking before he eats but makes no difference. He has had the problem for about 8 years. Because of no insurance he has not tried medical treatment. As his mother, I am very concerned for his health. There doesn’t seem to be any particular food that triggers the problem.
I had a CT scan of my left hip due to instability and pain. Had hip replaced 3 yrs ago. The CT scan read l acetabular component is anteroverted. What does this mean? Do I need to see a orthopedic. It is hard for me to walk up steps and walk for any distance without hurting!!

I have had an off and on ear infection and now it’s worse than before. It has caused me flashes of pain. This has been happening for the past 3 weeks. I thought this ear infection at first would go away on its own. I can’t put pressure on the ear or the area where my side burns are located either. I just put a q-tip in my ear and instead of my normal brown earwax, my ear wax is now a greenish color and I pulled out a bit of blood. Should I be worried?

I have an inconstant tinnitus that appeared around twenty days ago.
i still cannot tell where exactly i hear it. sometimes i think it’s a sound in the back of my head. at other times i think it’s more around my left ear. when i cover both my ears, the first supposition is confirmed, but when i lie down especially on my left side, the second one comes to mind.
if i have to describe the sound, i would definitely say that it is very much like white noise or a very distant cricket sound, the kind of sounds you hear at a quiet summer midday. the good thing is that sometimes it stops and even when it’s there it is not very loud. sometimes i have to cover both my ears and listen closely to trace it back in my head. although when it first started, i remember that it would wake me up late at night or early in the morning. it would be loud and i would find it very hard to sleep.
what really makes me anxious is the cause of the tinnitus i get and why it is not constant as most people i read about have it.
when i first had it i was in a bad place. i thought maybe because of stress and anxiety i was experiencing at the time. then, i went on vacation, and that’s when it first got away and started to get very low. as soon as i came back home, it got back a little bit higher than during vacation and probably as it was before.
i cannot tell if it’s because of the noise, earbuds (usually they are not high but i use them a lot to watch on my computer alone in the room at campus where i spent the last five years) stress, or the act of lying down. i noticed that lying down without a pillow makes my ears stuffed as if i’m under water.
i’m very scared that my hearing will be damaged because of the tinnitus. is this possible? what do you think the cause of this? do i have to see a doctor?
sorry for talking too much. i thought this might help.
thank you.
Impending cataract surgery. Have to select lens — either standard or premium. Not sure which will provide best result. Have been wearing glasses since age 7. Now 83. Don’t mind wearing glasses, rather enjoy them.
I get burning, excruciating pain, blurred vision in one eye. Just the one. It can happen after just 5-15 minutes of using my computer. After that even the slightest things cause a lot of pain, overhead LED lights, phone with anti glare, TV etc. However, if I avoid computers and everything for a month or two and really reduce usage, I can watch TV for hours without hurting my eyes a lot, and just live normally. After the computer usage, it gets bad. I’ve used computers and devices for years, a LOT. Never felt like this before. This burning feels different from the ordinary eye strain burning. I do follow the rule of looking away from the screen after a bit, at a distance.
I read about CVS, and wonder if that is what I have. I was surprised to discover 90% of computer users get this. 90% computer users have to sit in the dark, use text to speech and generally protect their eyes from usage? I went through months of using apps for the blind. Sit around with a makeshift eye patch. It was excruciatingly painful. I would be in so much pain I couldn’t even glance at my phone for a second to write or read a text. Even if I hadn’t really used anything beyond a few seconds for days.
My question is, do I have CVS or is it something different? My eyes do NOT get red. They LOOK fine. My doctor gave me some tablets and some regular eye drops for a month. After a month of almost completely avoiding light, eye felt less pain. When I asked the cause, he said “who knows?” and gave me some eye drops to take when I’m in pain. Those don’t do much and they also state that using too much can cause cornea to get thinner.
Once I use a computer, everything starts triggering or aggravating pain…even when they didn’t before. Is this CVS? What can I do about it? He made it sound like I have to live with this and just take drops when it gets bad. I respect him a lot, I just want more answers. Also, if a different kind of computer screen would alleviate it, what should I be looking for?

These bumps have been in the back of my throat for about a month. They aren’t painful. Is this something I should be worried about. I went to my Dr about them and he didn’t seem concerned. Just looking for a second opinion.

My boyfriend is suffering really bad conjunctivitis for the past 3 days. He has got so weak and tired. His left eye is so inflamed it’s really worrying me. I was told that eye-drops are a good way to get rid of it but i’m not 100% sure. I think it’s the bacterial one he’s got because the white part around the eye is really sore and red. Please, any help would be great.
