Dental problems can give you headaches.

I have ear problems and sinus problems because of my anxiety, I've had a range of symptoms don't want to freak you out my listing them, but I've had the headache and ear things, when I've been better they go away but come back again, I know how annoying and scary it is, but I've had mine on and off for 5 years, if it was a tumor I think i'd know by now, and so would you, you are ok!

If you're really worried see your GP of course.

But remember you aren't alone x

Have similar with my left ear , can't always sleep on it or it hurts after a while and when I lift off the pillow it throbs and eases , had that many years off on and on . Currently have a blocked feeling and numb sensation . I also have sinus issues .from what I've read they are anxiety symptoms and my anxiety is an all time high right now on a daily basis . Not much help but yes I do get ear problems

Also have a tingly burning sensation on left side of my head that is fuelling my health anxiety , trying hard to change my thought process to its JUST anxiety but finding it hard to accept the pressure feeling and burn

I dint think its anxiety at all mine didn't hurt wen I lie on it its inside I feeling there's something in there pressure/ pain :(

Are you feeling anxious and tense ? I know muscles tense up when anxious and can press on nerves . All I can suggest is that whilst you wait for your appointment you try just accept it's there and not worry (I know easier said than done ) it may ease as you relax

It's tomorrow :( I won't sleep tonight x

Hey Hun any sort of irritation or congestion to the sinus passages wil usually effect your ears . They can feel numb like you are under water , like something is stuck and you want it to pop out .
You may have some impacted ear wax or some fluid in there all harmless but all can cause horrible symtoms.
I get ear problems like this all the time and the worst thing is my ears give me all the grieve but they don't even work ( I am profoundly deaf ) .
What you describe sound like classic ear and sinus issues but unfortunatey there is not always a lot the ENT Drs can do.
Have you tried steaming with a vapour rub like Vicks at all.
Hope this helps please let us know how it goes xx

I've bern dealing with an ear infection for 25 days. I'm finishing my second round of antibiotics today. I literally feel your pain. Here's what's been hurting me:
My ear feels full or plugged.
The whole side of my head feels heavy.
I have a headache in my temple, the back of my head, neck and sinus.
My eye hurts a little too.
Of course, I'm over analyzing because I'm stressed so it's probably somewhat in my head (no pun intended) at this point.

I hope your Dr puts you at ease. Mine did, but when the infection came back after the first round of drugs I kind of lost it, you know?

Thanks for all your replys feeling not better but worry is always on back of my mind sam anxiety x
