Im having pain and pressure behind the eyes and in ears, down nose and temple area. ears sometimes itch as well. a heavyness in the back of my head. swelling around ear area and under chin(posibbly glands) . Face seems almost lethargic and sometimes my lips feel tingly. Dizzyness comes and goes.
Have had alot of tests done-blood, xray, and ultrasound of thyroid. Red and white blood counts are low.
not thyroid, not ear infection, nothing related to teeth, no synus infection or bacterial parasite, not mono.
If anyone could tell me a direction to go in, that would be great, or if i would be a canidate for a more serious test such as ct or mri.
thanks so much.

Thanks for writing to the forum!
There is a chance that you have sinusitis, both frontal and temporal. An X-ray or CT scan of the area may be required. You may be having accompanying parotid inflammation too. Please consult an ENT specialist. There is a chance that you have compression of the spinal nerves in the cervical spine region. This can happen due to overuse of computers, work involving straining of neck, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. Please consult an orthopedic specialist or a neurologist. Dizziness could be due to anemia. If anemia is severe it can cause facial swelling and tingling. Hence the low red cell count should be looked into. Also low WBC should be further investigated.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Also, my doctor has ruled out sinusitis with xray already.
Should i get an mri or cat scan of head?
