i'm not sure if this is the right board or not, but i went to the dr. and she said i have fluid in my ears. could it cause the top of my head,the side of my head,and under my ear into my neck to be sore to the touch & feel like theres pressure on it, with pains sometimes?

scottskitty,

Not sure, but did your doc give you something to help dry out your ears? My doc, originally trying to guard against fluid in the inner ear, put me on an allergy medication (Allegra) to dry out the inner ear. It didn't work because fluid retention didn't end up being my problem, but I'm wondering if your doc knows there's fluid in there why they didn't try to give you something to clear it up.

hi! back in dec 2003 i had fluid on my left ear and my symptoms were very weird feeling, numbness of left arm and fingers, stinging across forehead, thought i was having a stroke or heart attack went to er and that was all they found was the fluid, went to doctor prescibed me the same thing your taken, 2 weeks later i blew my nose and blew a rupture in my ear drum, no fluid now but been fighting anxiety since although alot better still have weired symptoms off and on, all brought on by having fluid in my ear!! very weired well good luck and no nose blowing!

my doc gave me allergra and nasacort aq but it doesn't seem to be working. i'm going to an ent on monday.

Ah, yes, the old Allegra and steroid nasal spray routine. Know it well. Didn't work for me either, but as I mentioned, fluid didn't end up being my problem (BPV was). Good luck!
