Pain
I have had a plugged ear for 3 weeks. Dr. put me on a nasal spray and pain killers. My head is killing me, they did a CT scan and said it was not normal, extra fluid on the brain. I do not feel good and just wondered if I should go up to emergency.
Hi...sounds like u could have PTC also known as inter cranial hypertension...it is excess CSF fluid that causes pressure.
Most times changes in position will change how u feel.....u should be seen by a NL to do further testing.
I also wonder what else ur Dr has told u....when was this CT scan...
A MRI of the brain would be next....and of the cervical spine as well....and a possible LP.
Good luck

Hi there -
I'm going to move this to Neurology, but if you have fluid on the brain, and are in pain and feeling poorly, perhaps a trip to Emergency wouldn't hurt. Make sure to follow up with your doctor as well.
