First My Ears, Then My Nose, Then My Throat...please Help! Posted: 05-10-06 19:44pm
Alright, I first experienced about 5 years
ago...My right ear feeling blocked for a
while, probably a few months. So I ended
up going to the doctors, and I actually
had a bunch of wax build up, I mean a
bunch of it in both ears. So I had that
resolved. And my ears felt better for a
while, pretty close to normal.
Soon after maybe a month or two. I
noticed my right ear was feeling clogged,
then my left ear started to feel clogged.
I went back to the doctors and had them
both cleaned out again, but this time
there wasn't really anything in there, no
build up.
I ended up having an mri done and nothing
out of the ordinary showed up. Then my
regular doctor recommended I go see a tmj
specialist. So I did...I guess they could
be symptoms of tmj that i'm having but
apparently that is not actually the
problem.
So now, I noticed that my nose was feeling
blocked all the time just like my ears,
but my ears have always been the main
problem. Although maybe it was my nose
from before to, but I just didn't really
notice it because my ears have
over-shadowed it.
About last year mid-summer in '05
everything drained apparently for no
reason for a whole two days all through
the back of my throat! It was amazing and
I thought I was finally cured, but
unfortunately it didn't last :( everything
clogged back up after the two days even
worse! I should also point out that I
have symptoms of post nasal drip as
well.
Around this time I have also noticed that
my whole head has started to get alot of
pressure, esspecially my forehead, and
even the back of my head! Everywhere
there is pressure! It feels like I have
fluid everywhere.
I ended up going to the doctors again for
my ears, and this time they said
everything looked 'normal' again....Yea
maybe on the outside but there is def.
Something going on inside :(.
He recommended I go to an allergy
specialist so I did. It turns out that
the test came out positive for a few
things mainly dairy. I have been staying
away from it, but still no results!
So now I notice recently that my throat
has been getting tight! Now seriously my
whole head feel like its going to explode
all the time. I'm not getting any relief,
i'm so fed up I don't know what to do :(
i finally go to the last doctor again, and
I say to him I just don't know what to do
anymore, I don't know what it could be.
Just give me some anti-biotics incase this
whole time its been a sinus infection. So
he gave me the strongest thing there is.
That was on friday, and now it is wed. Of
next week. I had to stop taking the
anti-biotics because it did not give me
any results and it made me extremely sick,
I have been a zombie at work today.
On a plus note, I did have a hearing test
done at the last visit and apparently the
doctor was shocked that I have "excellent
hearing" despite all of this..Just imagine
what my hearing would be like if I could
have my head back to normal and I work as
an audio professional. Everyday is like
torture for me!
Please someone help! There has to be an
answer! Why would I experience the
draining like nothing happened before? I
know that it can happen again, I just
don't know how to make it, and for good
this time! :x :(

Oh and I also want to add that sometimes
when I hold my ear lobes closed really
tight to my head I kind of get a warm,
moist sensation in my ears for a few
seconds almost like I did when everything
was draining, but it doesn't actually
pop.
I'm always very fatigued and my mucus is
always extremely thick, and nothing gets
past through my nose. If I sneeze it
never comes out of my nose, always through
my mouth.

I am no Dr. But have you thought about
asking your Dr. To refer you to an ear,
nose and throat specialist(ent)? They may
have an answer for you.
I too have post nasal drip problem at
times and wasprescribed claritin at one
time. Also if you take a lot of showers,
you can get kind of like an ear fungus
because it is dark and moist, now
remember, I am not a dr but someone told
me one time to take a syringe and mix up
some vinegar and rubbing alchohol and
squirt it in your ear with the syringe and
it helped me as I used to swim alot too
and get swimmers ear.
The best to you!

Try This It May Work. Posted: 05-21-06 16:09pm
Try ocean nasal spray or any saline nasal
spray and try to take a bath with salt,
just use like kitchen salt, fill up your
bath with hot/warm water and pour lots of
salt. Relax in the bathtub for at least
1/2 to 1 hour.
I have some of the symptoms that you are
talking about and only salt helps!. Have
you ever gone to the ocean and feel any
better? I always feel great when I go.
I also have problem with diary products,
milk or ice cream are killers for me, I
drink soy milk. Just try to drink more
water more fruits and less junk food and
less coffee and keep bathing with salt
whenever you get a chance like 2 times a
week and I hope that works for you.

Alright, yea, I have tried everything!
I think I might have found out
what the problem is though...I went to a
new dentist because I had to have some
cavities filled, so I also needed to have
some x-rays done. It turns
out that I have three impacted wisdom
teeth! Damn I wonder if that
has anything to do with what I have been
dealing with for about 7 years!?!??
It angers me off that after seeing all of
these different doctors not one of them
even mentioned that it might be caused by
impacted wisdom teeth!?!?!!? what
it's really going to suck having to have
these three removed for a little while,
but this has to be the source of my
problem. I'm so ready to be
over with this ear problem most of all, so
I scheduled an appoitment asap...
I don't care what happens to me anymore
I just want this ear thing gone!
Rip these f***ers out of me
already!!!!!!!!!!!

Anthonyw,
this sounds exactly like what I have been
feeling for the past 9 months. Started
off with balance problems, bad sinus
infection and pressure all around my head.
Ever since I have been having congestion
in my nose and post-nasal drip. I have
tons of white mucus in my nose and throat.
My ears feel full all the time and I feel
like I have liquid inside them. I have
just had another sinus infection.
Docs and ent's don't seem to treat me
right. They just prescibe me some nasal
sprays and say to live with it. It's
getting really frustrating. I'm just
hoping this thing goes away.
How are you doing? Found anything helpful
yet?
Chris

Hey chris, I just had my three remaining
wisdom teeth removed today. I chose
general anesthetic like the last time and
both experiences were a walk in the park.
When I regained conciousness, it was
actually a pleasent experience, as if I
didn't even know they started it already!
I firmly believe that, this was the
cause of all the problems. I had 2
impacted wisdom teeth on the top and one
was left on the bottom, left side. I
had my bottom right removed 5 years ago
already.
The left side of my face is all swelled up
right now, and it's just the bottom left
side that hurts, even though the top two
were removed as well, I can't feel any
pain up there, but I think it may be
because those sockets were numb for years
because of the impacted teeth, which was
causing the ear and sinus problems. I
think the bottom tooth was causing the
throat problems.
Anyway, like I said my face is swelled up
and it hurts on my jaw, but I can already
feel an improvment with my ears and
nose!
Def. See a dentist and have some
xrays done specifically for impacted
wisdom teeth if any of you are having
similar problems!
I don't know how likely it is that I will
return to the forum, so if anyone has
questions from my experience contact me

Alright, I take back what I said. Having
my wisdom teeth have not helped me at all!
Does anyone have any other
suggestions???? Could it be because of
tonsils? I'm dying to have this resolved

Sinus Inflammation Posted: 12-02-07 15:18pm
One solution which works for me is to take
Advil or Advil Cold & Sinus. The
problem for me seems to be the sinuses get
inflammed which causes pain.
I was just searching to see if there is a
better solution because I don't feel
comfortable taking Advil for three weeks
straight.
If you know of anything tell me.
