I've been here a lot lately

Recommended Posts

I know something HAS to be wrong with me. My left side of my body does not feel the same as my right, noticed it on and off about 3 months ago and now it's there from the moment I wake up to when I go to bed. Almost like my left side is asleep or slightly numb. While this is going on my right side of my face is slightly swollen, headaches on and off and pressure and my ear and nose are bugging me. Everyone has been telling me its sinusitis but my cheek is literally swollen and has been for about 3 weeks plus I don't think I have enough drainage for it to be sinus related. Also bad ear ringing that wakes me up at night. I have a dr appointment Thursday but I can't help but think these two things are connected and it's a brain tumor or something neurological. Seems like for about a month and a half I have been spiraling, I don't know how to get out of it. I'm just really struggling. I'm so sure I'm going to die that I haven't been able to clean the house or do laundry for weeks. Any suggestions would be good I'm feeling pretty desperate.

As someone with chronic sinus issues, I can tell you it isn't a brain tumor. One, cheeks can be inflammed due to sinus even if only on one side. Two, you don't need to have drainage for it to be sinus related.

The swelling and pressure certainly could be sinusitis or a sinus infection. You have several pairs of sinuses in your head and they don't need to be stuffed or draining to be infected.
