Hi Everyone. I am a long time sufferer of HA. I am 39 and a frequent tobacco user. I have GERD and IBS. I also have had issues with my sinuses and throat in the last 5 or 6 years. I have had polyps removed twice from my sinuses and had my tonsils out as an adult. For the last 6 months or so I have had recurring, not constant but several times a week pain in my left ear and a feeling like something is stuck in my throat. I have occasional ringing in that ear too. The whole left side of my head will feel sore sometimes. My neck will be sore but I think that that is from me being tense all the time. I keep telling myself this is probably sinus related and made worse by my anxiety but it won't go away and I am really worried. I can't afford a trip to the doctor since I am already in debt to them. I keep telling myself that if it was cancer the pain would be constant and that I would be coughing up blood or something like that. I just have that fear that only you guys can relate to. That feeling that this time it is for real and I am screwed. Some kinds words of reassurrance would be much appreciated. Take care all of you and I hope we all find peace some day.
