I am not sure what to do, I have a dilema.
I had a cold and sinusitis about 5 weeks ago, I was put onn anti bs and it cleared up but was left with ear pressure, saw a dr before I went on holiday, twice infact because the pressure was so bad and causing pain. The dr said it was nothing other than inflamation after the sinusitis in the eustachian tube and not to worry, gave me a steroid spray to use and that was that.
Well on monday my dr checked me as the pressure has got worse but he said it was just from the virus, I caught a cold and cough off the children 2 weeks ago, they are better and I am over it now but left with this pressure again.
This weekend ive had very bad headaches with it, all over left side of head esp the crown of my head and the ear pressure is alot worse, not pain but a dragging ache down my head and ear. Its very uncomfortable.
I am seeing my usualy GP on friday re the anxiety, he wants to keep an eye on me but im dreading telling him I still have this ear thing incase he has a go at me. I feel im treated as never actually being ill, I feel they think I make it bloody up, lol!
This ear pressure is making my anxiety worse, I wake every day worrying what it might be, chronic sinusitis? ear tumour? blood clot in brain? etc.............. Today I have a sore patch on my scalp where I have the headache on the crown of my head, its so strange but of course im panicking whats under that sore patch?whats causing it?
Part of me wants to go back to the dr tomorrow to get checked over because I am having headaches with it now but then then part of me says no wait until friday but I know I will be too scared to tell himhttp://www.baby-greenhouse.co.uk/smilies/sad.gif I only like 2 of the drs and I can't request who I see if I go on the triage list tomorrow, the other drs are not very friendly at all and I find it hard to talk to them.
Will they do anything though if its just pressure from yet another cold? the steroid spray isn't helping at all and ive been using it 3 weeks. I am not sure what to do, I don't like going there with this but I am in pain, I came home from work on friday crying because my headache was so severe.
