I haven't been on her for a few months but having a bad time at moment.
I have been having attacks of facial pain over last 6 weeks. It only last a few seconds but its really weird, I get a feeling as if I am gong to burp, then a sharp pain just under my jaw joint on left side then I burp and pain goes. I do not normally burp so the burping and face pain not normal for me. I also feel as if I am being strangled or my throat is very tight.
My GP is on holiday , saw a locum who said no idea it could be trigeminal neuralgia and gave me a info sheet to read which scared me as it said that rarely trigemnal neuralgia can be caused by tumours and skull abmornalities.
I have another appt today with another permanent gp at practise to discuss further but I am sure he will just shrug his shoulders when I say about the conbination of burping and face pain.
So far I have diagnosed myself with brain tumour or skull tumour and then stomach cancer from all the burping ( I once read that this can be early sigh of stomach cancer!!) . I'm not sure if I will have the courage to admit all these fears to the GP!!!!!
