I am in mexico at the moment and having difficulty explaing this to the doctor. I have had a stiff jaw for a week then a couple days ago I started having a tickle in my ear today it became pins and needles.... Also feeling quite dizzy. This is not a continual feeing it comes and goes . I have boarder line diabetic and high blood pressure (controlled by meds)
From my research I think I may have arthritis in my jaw (I am 60)... And a nerve causing the the other symptoms... But I am concerned it could be my sugar levels out of whack .. I have been under slot of stress lately. I can't go home to see my own doctor right away and would appreciate some feed back

Hi,
Dizziness can be caused by diseases of the ear, infections, Meniere's disease, decreased blood supply to brain, diseases of the eye. Pins and needles sensation is caused by neuropathy due to stress, anxiety, hypoglycemia, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, anemia.
Without complete examination, it is not possible to speculate on the cause for your problems. Please consult a neurologist for further evaluation.
Do keep me posted.
