I’m a 19 year old girl and my medical symptoms are not letting me live a normal life. Unfortunately, even though I’ve seen many doctors and took (and am taking) different medication, no one is able to tell me what’s going on and no of the medication is really working.
Everything started around 8 years ago, when I started getting something that is called Tinnitus. I can’t listeen to loud sounds of any kind, because instead of any sound all I can hear is a combination of crackles and sizzles, similar to electricity, plastic bags and sparklers. This is not my main problem right now as I got used to it, was it only marked the beginning of problems with my ears, sinuses and teeth (which as my dentist told me can all be connected).
I’ve been experiencing severe post-nasal drip for more than a year now and that’s what is bugging me the most. Everyday after waking up I have to spend 10 minutes in my bathroom to cough the yellow mucus, which I can see is appearing on my throat from sinuses. During the day as I take medication I can also have the feeling of not being able to breath because of this disease. I’m really depressed because of it and it makes my life horrible.
The last issue concerns my jaw. It has changed its’ location about 5mm to the right and now my chin is not under my nose. My face is also assymetrical, which is very visible on photos. I’ve had this issue for a year now.
I know it’s hard to tell me anybthing without seeing me in person, but every advice is so important for me as I’m very desperate and I want to be finally cured.
Ps. I’m from Poland and currently I am taking medications such as Pronasal, Clatra and Erdomed
I caught flu 5 days ago. Most symptoms are well under control except for a bad cough and mild headache and fatigue. I am not 100% recovered yet. I have to fly tomorrow (Los Angeles to san francisco) and I am scared that my ears will hurt. I have already had my right ear drum rupture during descent in a flight once. I made a trip to a urgent clinic doctor just now and after checking my ears, he says I should be OK to fly. I am not so confident as he didn’t guarantee that my ears will be 100% OK. He just said everything looks like you will be fine. Shall I take the risk and fly tomorrow? Please advise.
Hi all, I have a few questions about a severe sinus infection (acute frontal sinusitis) that I’m struggling with. I’m having debilitating headaches every day, concentrated in the frontal sinus area, but am not presenting with any other sinusitis symptoms. I did do a sinus x-ray and was told by a doctor that it indicates a continuing sinus infection. I’m taking an antibiotic (Augmentin) as well as a nasal spray (flonase) but I want to talk to you about next steps and how urgent you think the situation might be. Thank you!
I am a 28 years old male suffering from weird left ear pressure from 6 months ago, I am a healthy airline pilot. My sypmtoms are mild ear pressure only in the left ear. No pain and hearing is fine. I went to the ENT who checked my ears and said it is normal and asked me to do pressure test (cause I am a pilot) which became normal too! He ruled out any ear infection and said it might be TMJ. I looked out TMJ symptoms on internet and found it is not applicable with mine because TMJ = pain (specially when closing opening jaw). Honestly I dont feel any pain around my jaw, But when I open/close my jaw I can feel a cracking sound in the left jaw (yes around my left ear) but still no pain. The pressure I feel is comes very quickly either when I rest the back of my head on the chair or when I lay the back of my head on bed. Also this discomfort is very noticable when I close my eyes! Sometimes the valsava manuveur makes me feel better only for a few seconds.
Also I was diagnosed with thyrioditis few months ago and it became normal after few months of observation, local ENT said it had nothing to do with my left ear.
Im a 24year old female and I’ve had nasal polyps in the pass and had them surgically removed and for the last fell weeks now I’ve been feeling a lot of pain and pressure on only the left side of me face with constant runny nose the mucus is mornings is a yellow hard rubbery texture to it and then later in the day it clear. I find myself always wiping my nose as it’s always dripping. For 3 days/nights my nose still runs but I feel it completely blocked, I’ve been having moderate pain on the left side of my face and only gets worse if I lay down especially on my side.
So my real question is what else am I to do. I’ve been using nasacort at bedtime and now even taking musanex for pressure and pain??
While on the recreation street drug ecstasy, I got a massage. I was faced down and my eyes were pressured as the masseuse worked my upper back. Afterwards, I was sleepy and had to force my eyes open to stay awake. That’s when my eyes made a popping noise. After that, I experienced permanent blurred light vision (over a year). More specifically, bright LED lights at night are the only lights that will blur and only at a distance. What is the cause of my vision impairment, and is there a cure?

Pain in my throat woke me up in the middle of the night, follow by pain in both of my ears? I took a pic of my throat and you can see red with some yellow bumps ,? What is wrong with me?
33, Female, no doctor info, no insurance yet. My left eye started to water excessively, & proceed to start pussing! It was gone in about 3 full days. I started to notice the same thing is starting in my right eye, but before I could even get ne medicine for it, it jumped back to my left eye! What’s going on?
I am a 20 year old man and since my 15 years old more or less I get red eyes every day. I don’t know why, there are various reasons that cause me red eyes, so I don’t know what it the problem.
Sometimes I get red eyes just for nothing, sometimes when the sun is strong and I don’t use sunglasses, sometimes when I don’t sleep enough, everytime I go out at night and feel my eyes are tired and they get red. And my eyes aren’t just a little bit red, they get so red to the point that all the people around me notice it and causes discomfort even to them. I have already talked to a doctor but I think she doesn’t care much and says it must be allergies, but I think it’s not because I have red eyes everyday and I don’t feel like I have any other allergy symptom. She prescribed me an eye drop named Allergodil, and it sometimes reduces the redness a little bit but most times it does nothing.
I really need help because I don’t know what to do anymore and because it is a thing that really affects my life, especially my self-esteem.
I hope you can help me.
Hello I am 21 male. I recently have had some heart related issues. I went to 2 cardiologist and they did not help me so I hope you can at least give me some more information. Let me explain in more details.
Currently I have the pain in the chest and constantly hear the high pitched sound in my right ear, it intensifies when I lay to sleep, and sometimes it even awakens me during the night it becomes really high pitched. Sometimes my arm goes numb when I place it in certain position, it feels like the blood vessels was blocked as soon as I move the arm it goes back to normal.
I used to have bronchitis as young. Also I smoked for 6 months period, very bad decision of mine but cant do anything about it retroactively. Sometimes I took some stimulants I also hope that did not destroy my heart. At the moment I fear that I have some sort of combination of heart and lung disease.
The doctors I went to did some tests including EKG etc. and said there was nothing wrong. What should I do?
I am a 66 year old male with long term lower back injury for which I take Hydrocodone and Cyclobenzaprine. I also had an inverted papilloma in my sinus removed around 2010.
My problem is dry eyes. I went to the eye doctor back around 2002 and he put in tear duct plugs. They never helped, one fell out and the other was removed when I had my inverted papilloma removed.
The dry eyes ONLY occur at night and early evening. I use eye drops constantly during the evening and upon going to bed. If I delay applying the drops the condition becomes painful. Once I lay down to sleep I use the drops, but they only help for a few minutes and I begin to feel my eyes drying and sticking to my sockets. I have tried ALL TYPES of over the counter drops with the best temporary relief coming from Just Tears.
During the nights I wake with my eyes stuck solid in their sockets. I fumble for the drops and begin applying them. I sometimes have to pry my eyes open to get the drops in. Some nights are worse than others, but this occurs EVERY evening and night.
I have told a lot of doctors about this problem and they all say, interesting, keep up the drops.
This condition can only get worse with time and age.
I welcome any suggestions.
Thanks
My brother has been losing his hearing abilities since he was 6-7 years old. he has been experiencing ringing in his ears that just gets louder and louder through out the years. He got hearing aid that have helped for a few months but his ears have gotten used to them so his hearing has gotten worse with them on; and when he doesn’t have them he practically can’t hear anything (only if you shout at him). We has received at CT scan that shows no abnormalities. The doctors have still not sid anything as they ‘dont know’ whats going on. I’m not a doctor but i was wondering if it was because he doesn’t eat alot of nutritious foods. He’s under weight and refuses to eat more greens and fruits. When he was a kid he has has a little un-balancement as it took him ages to learn how to walk properly. Taking iron tablets for extreme anemia.
Im 19 year old female. I have no prior medical history with skin problems. I have a hard white bump on the center on my upper eye lid that I’ve had for a few months now and it’s starting to worry me. What could it be ? It doesn’t hurt and I feel no eye irritation.
My 69 year old mother who has been blind for over a year in her left eye due to an injury she suffered from sneezing to hard over two years ago. She went to an eye doctor last year when she lost sight in her eye. He said there was nothing they could do. So no problems until last night. She had a headache and took some medicine to stop it. When I brought her dinner I noticed her iris in the left eye was completely black. The white of her eye is still there. She said this morning she feels fine. Her iris is still black. Do I seek help for her?
