Go to a clinic, mouse. If you have strep, you'll need antibiotics.

tell me what an earache is like.

i have:

* what feels like a pinched nerve inside my ear, head, and right side of neck. sharp pain.

* pressure from within my head

* i don't feel very balanced

i feel o.k., but i can 'feel' a sickness coming on.

Sinuses have had a long arduous summer. I want them to feel normal so badly, ugh!

one month passes...

I've got sinusitis from hell this morning, feels like my head's gonna burst. Have been taking zirtek all summer together with a steroid nasal spray, cleared the symptoms in the summer but not any more. Have just recovered from a stubborn viral infection and caught a bacterial bug on the back of that which cleared up with antibiotics but the sinusitus persists. If that weren't enough i've been having panic attacks that have been getting steadilly worse with increasing frequency. My GP has prescribed beta blockers which i'm a bit nervous about taking but if they relieve the panic attacks it's got to be worth it. Guess a lunchtime trip to boots is in order for these pesky sinuses.

a steroid nasal spray

Whenever I hear/read about these sprays, I imagine this:

I've had a cold since a week ago Sunday. Every time it starts to get better, I go out on the razz and make it worse again. All I want is a nice quiet weekend, but I can't miss Ronnie Scott's for my Dad's sixtieth. Still, I'll get the secret satisfaction of knowing that a planeful of people will have what I've got in a couple of days' time.

Have had this for two years, it comes and goes in periods of about 3 months. it wakes me up around 5 hours after i go to sleep.

Costochondritis Symptoms
“Chest pain associated with costochondritis is usually preceded by exercise, minor trauma, or an upper respiratory infection.
The pain usually will be sharp and located on your front chest wall. It may radiate to your back or abdomen and is more common on your left side. The most common site of pain is your fourth, fifth, and sixth ribs. This pain increases as you move your trunk or take deep breaths. Conversely, it decreases as your movement stops or on quiet breathing”.

It does hurt sometimes; apparently people have been rushed to hospital thinking they are having a heart attack.

If that weren't enough i've been having panic attacks that have been getting steadilly worse with increasing frequency.

Can I ask you how they manifest themselves? I also have panic attacks but I often wonder how serious (or big) they are (compared to other people's attacks).

I've had the odd bout of hyperventation in the past cos i've got into bad habits. Due to hay fever my nose is blocked a lot of the time so quite often i can't breathe through my nose and breathe too shallowly through my mouth which can starve the body of carbon I've had the odd bout of hyperventilation in the past cos I've got into bad habits. Due to hay fever my nose is blocked a lot of the time so quite often I can't breathe through my nose and breathe too shallowly through my mouth. This starves the body of carbon dioxide and causes the weird symptoms such as shivering, dizziness, pins and needles in extremities and the feeling that you can't catch your breath. I had an especially bad one at the weekend where I felt a crushing pain in my chest (to the point that I thought I was having a heart attack) and the sensation that I was blacking out and panting for breath. I've been feeling on edge since which makes another attack more likely because the anxiety increases. I've taken my first beta blocker which seems to be working, feeling a bit spaced out but I hardly slept last night so am bound to be pretty knackered. God I sound like such a flake.

sneezing. some mild coughing.

Weird that this thread would come up right now. For the past week I've kind of had a tight, dull pain on the left side of my chest, and I'm starting to get scared. I'm pretty young, which I suppose limits the possibilities, but... I need to see a doctor.

I banged my elbow really hard while rough-housing with son no. 1 about 6 weeks ago. Still hurts. Went to the doctor. He acted clueless. My guess is I'm aggravating it all the time cuz I type a lot so it never gets to heal. The non-electric mower I bought at a yard sale was great for the oil crisis but I think it made the elbow worse. Now my knee hurts which makes me wonder about recurring Lymes (always a concern here at Lyme Central). I'm sure once I wean son no. 2 so I can sleep through the night, I'll feel much better all around.

Thanks for listening. Let's see if I can kill this thread. I dare you not to post.

Maria, you're just not drinking enough.
Chest pain person—Many many things cause chest pains. Panic attacks, muscle strain, acid reflux, etc. But why waste time worrying? Go get it checked to put your mind at ease.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Saturday, 5 November 2005 04:54 (eighteen years ago) link

BETH! See you tomorrow? I don't drink as much as usual, but I'm acutally up tonight doing my best to drink a six=pack. Thus the posting.

two weeks pass...

I've felt on the edge of a cold for a few weeks now. I feel like telling it to put up or shut up.

Have I got a long underlying cold I am intermittently fighting off? Or am I catching lots of weak colds?

one month passes...

earache! then toothache! and faceache! i NEVER get earache since i got autitis in the sea on holiday when i was 13 as i have carried out a fastidious (for me) daily ear-cleansing routine ever since, so i thought it was just because i'd had a small cold and my sinuses were still full of snot, and the fact that the earache was shifting from one ear to the other seemed to support this. then yesterday it turned into faceache, then toothache oh noes! the english suggests i get one of those ear candle things and see if that works, but it didn't work so well here -

http://www.freakytrigger.co.uk/proven/2005_09_01_proven_archive.html

- so maybe i should get my head cleaned out! has anyone had this, where they swoosh all your sinuses out? like a car-wash for your brane, it sounds BRILLIANT.

― emsk ( emsk), Thursday, 12 January 2006 12:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I had my sinuses drained once. I was in so much pain, I didn't care what they did. It was a great relief, but involved surgical instruments up the nose.

― Jaq (Jaq), Thursday, 12 January 2006 13:22 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't really mind surgical instruments... i heard it's the most bizarre feeling, and i'm quite up for that idea.

― emsk ( emsk), Thursday, 12 January 2006 13:39 (eighteen years ago) link

symptoms: the usual, only more so

― jbr, Thursday, 12 January 2006 14:53 (eighteen years ago) link

(xpost) Well, they did kind of vacuum stuff out, which felt and especially sounded odd.

My eyes have been tearing up dramatically for 2 days. I was blaming the wind, or these new glasses. But I think it's actually excessive Katamari.

― Jaq (Jaq), Thursday, 12 January 2006 15:50 (eighteen years ago) link

My left eyelid is swollen and something in my eye is hurting for the second day in a row. I just had a look in the mirror and there's something strange actually ON my eyeball!

I'm seeing a doctor in a couple hours.

sinuses AGAIN. right temple, upper nose and some teeth. yesterday my ear's were blocked. can anyone give a more detailed breakdown of sinus syringing procedures?

― barbarian cities (jaybob3005), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 12:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Bleeding nipples, lack of iron, lots of blue spots, sleep deprivation, emotional, rapid weight loss,...

It's called Motherhood. ;-)

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 14:51 (eighteen years ago) link

It turns out I have plain old conjunctivitis! The doctor couldn't see the bumps on my eyeball that are still all too visible to me, so hopefully they'll go away benignly. And I won't have to invest in any eyepatches. This all serves me right for attempting to apply eyeliner last weekend.

hot and cold flashes... according to my work colleague it's really warm just now but i'm shivering. headache. temperature. coughs. i should go home really

― having fun with stockholm cindy on stage (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:23 (eighteen years ago) link

i was hoping that i was offsetting the bad effects of late nights with abs workout. but seemingly not. i got back home from milton keynes last night and was hoping to do some work, and my head just got heavier and heavier and suddenly i was shivering and needed to sleep. it was scary.

also: everything seems to taste more blend than usual.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:27 (eighteen years ago) link

also i can't spell bland

Bleeding nipples? Blue spots? What in the hell? Having a baby does THAT to you?

Bleeding nipple: breastfeeding duh. :-)
Blue spots? I lost lots of blood during and after my delivery. I think it might have something to do with lack of hemoglobin or something.
