Hello I am 28 years old and this is what is going on.
I have been sick on and off for the past 2 months, on March 5th my body gave up and my husband took me to the ER where they diagnosed me with pneumonia. Was put on antibiotics for 5 days and cough medication. Four days later I realized I could hear an "ultrasound noise", how I can best describe it, and it was so loud it was scary, I had terrible headaches and started vomiting, so again to the ER where they did a CT scan without contrast and they found ild moucus on the left frontal sinuses, then they put me on antibiotics for another 10 days and oxycoden por pain. The headaches have been worst, I feel pressure on the inside of my ear too and the noise is driving me insane, when I push down on my jugular vein, it stops. I went back a wk later because I felt the pain down my neck to my shoulder and chest, they did and EKG was normal, then a carotid ultra sound and the doctor told me that what they found wasn't something to admitt me immediately but to go to a Neuro. So I did, she didnt even touched me, but based on what I told her, she diagnosed me with Pulsatile Tinnitus, then they ordered a MRI/MRA with and without contrast, the nurse called me and said the doctor had asked to call me to let me know its negative....whats negative?? So frustrating!! So last nite was one of the worst the pains are killing me, I went to ENT today, they did audiogram and I passed nicely and all. He then says I sound like I have a "major sinus infection", doeas not even mention the tinnitus, and puts me on steroids and antibiotics for another week.
Am I on the right track here? Can someone help me?
I appreciate it!
