I posted a while ago thinking I had a fistula from an accident. I'm now thinking I have something called intracranial hypertension.
I've had middle ear noxacusis for about 4 months now and have been experiencing weird pressure issues since my onset (crying and laughing makes my head feel pressurized, I have random migraine-like headaches, straining and lifting makes me feel like I'm having a blood sugar drop, my tinnitus spikes, and I get a pressurized head). I've also had issues with my eyesight, it's gotten noticeably blurrier and when I have these migraines, there's a pressure behind my eye.
Last night, I was straining pretty lightly with my earplugs in and I had a sharp pain on one side of my head. That ears symptoms started up again, with middle ear thumping and burning. My head started to hurt and became insanely pressurized. Lying down flat made the pressure hurt more.
I've had no increase in hearing loss, dizziness, or tinnitus. But I'm experiencing migraine like symptoms. Where my head and behind my eye feels like it's going to burst. My vision has been blurry since my onset, but it's gotten a little blurrier since last night. I've also been experiencing weird muscle pain in my shoulders and legs, it feels like bad growing pains. Finally, I also feel really weak, like I have an illness.
Reading on the symptoms of intracranial hypertension, I believe I might have this. I'm going to try to book a neurologist appointment tomorrow. I realize that my noxacusis might get worse, but I absolutely do not want to fuck with my eyesight, as leaving this untreated (if that's what this is) can cause me to go blind. Does anyone here have this? What were the steps and treatments you took?
