Hi,
I am very new to this only recently discovered health anxiety and that i have it when i hit rock bottom 3weeks ago after loosing a stone in 8weeks due to worry, i have been convinced I have cancer for a couple of months now (still am a bit). And so scared of meningitis in myself and children that I have the symptoms on my fridge!
So the latest problem,
I recently got a cold nothing big just a basic cold but had a very bad chest with it, since then I got horrific head and ear pressure like they were going to explode, I honestly thought I had blood coming from my ears! I thought I was going to die there and then or had a brain tumour. Doctor did some basic checks and said I had a sinus infection, took everything I could as it was mainly just my ears and dizzyness (like vertigo), went back again and the doctor thinks I may now have labrinthitus and gave me some anti dizzy tablets. This was well over a week ago and I am still suffering from mild ear pain/pressure, sore scalp, tight chest at times and the dizzyness. One min I think I am ok the next I get struck down again. The headaches are horrendous!
How long will this last? Is this actually labrinthitus or sinus related or could it be something more serious?
Please help someone!
