On second thoughts don't answer that one:biggrin:
Right quick recap. I had ear pains and 'sinus' pain all last year, dr thought I had chronic sinusitis, bad thing to tell me as I went and read up on it and read some very scary things such as risks of meningitis and brain absesses, ekkkkkkkkkkk:eek: Anyway my dr refered me to an ENT specialist but there was a 3 month wait so my hubby sent me to Bupa and I was seen that day and had a ct scan 2 nights later. Scan was clear, specialist said it was the most perfect sinus scan he had ever seen, lol! so he said pain in face and ear that felt like sinus must of been from stress or neuralgia pain. I continued to have the pains on and off until end of Decemeber, had scan in October.
Anyway I started with a cold about 4 weeks ago, it went after a week then I felt well again but a week later the cold hit me again and I then had face pain and awful headaches, saw a dr who said it was just viral and to take sudafed but by the weekend I was even worse, then was given anti bs (aomoxicillin 500mg for a week) i felt loads better within 3 days but since then ive had pressure down my left ear and ear pain. I saw a dr wednesday because I fly to paris in a few days so thought id best get it checked out and dr said my ears are fine, nothing at all wrong, no inflamation. Not my usual GP but he said maybe because ive had sinus infection its related to air pressure nad I could fly. THat was that, I was eager to get away from there to be honest so didn't ask anything else.
I am worrying now that after having 'proper' sinusitis that ive now developed chronic sinusitis because ive ear pressure (in left ear) abit of pressure in left nostril and clear nasal discharge, all symptoms of chronic but surely its too soon to call it chronic and also the dr on wednesday said my ear was fine. My ear is sooooo much more full and painful today, it feels full down the tube from ear to throat (begins with E, lol) dr said that was 'normal'
Does anyone else get this? am i over reacting?:wink:
