Ok I am looking for some advice please don’t know where else to post I've picked this one as I am seeing an ENT and a dentist…. It all started with pulsating tinnitus that would come and go in my right ear and my jaw ached a little on the right when I opened it.
I went to the ENT for this and she ordered a hearing test which takes 6 weeks to come through so in the meantime I explored deeper. (No ear infection to be seen by the way)
Since then my jaw has gotten worse with popping grating and generally being sore especially after exercise (im very sporty and generaly in good health)
I expect TMJ possibly something else muscular going on in my neck and this may cause the tinnitus.
My dentist said there was some swelling in the joint.
But…Now it has radiated to my neck shoulders being stiff and recently my back aching and getting sharp stabbing pains in it occasionaly. I visited the GP last week and The doctor tried me on antibiotics for the pulsatile tinnitus and it seemed to quieten down but I hadnt done any exercise last week, I played football yesterday and it is back again (not quite as bad but still noticeable)
Ive also noticed sitting/laying in certain positions seems to trigger the sound.
Other symptoms I have had on and off:
Blurry/cloudy vision (mild) could of been the antibiotics?
Slight loss of balance recently
Headaches (calmed down a lot recently) these would mainly be in my right temple.
Slight nausea (agian I blame the antibiotics…)
Just trying to get an idea of what is going on here. Any suggestions on what this might be and what to ask for talk about with the doctor? I have an appointment on Thursday.
