Burning in ear and thick feeling in neck

Hi, thanks for listening. I am a 41 year old female. In february, I was almost instantaneously dizzy with a loud noise in my ears. My right ear also felt warm inside and FULL. I went to the emergency room, where I had lots of tests and they said everything was fine and sent me home. In the last months following, I have seen a neurologist, ENT, and my primary physician on a regular basis. I have had several throat scopes, 2 MRI's on my brain (one contrasting and one regular) and some kind of test on my brain to test dizziness where I had to lay on a table and go through all kind of different test that intentionally made me dizzy. Since then, NOTHING has changed! I am still dizzy, some days I am miserable, My right ear is has a full feeling, hot sensation on the inside, almost to the point of thinking liquid is in there. Now, my neck feels thick directly under my right ear (can't feel any lumps) and it feels sore to the touch. Occasionally, my right throat is mildly sore. I DON'T KNOW if this helps or not, but I'm being treated for severe Acid Reflux which IS NOT getting better. ( I had a panendoscopy for that also. Said was no ulcers, or such) Needless to say, I am concerned, but no one can find anything and doesn't even seem to take me serious! PLEASE HELP.

I bet you have problems with your TMJ. The jaw joint under your ear. Find a dentist that specializes in this area on the net. Good luck!

I have had the same feeling in my ears and head, I feel that my ears get very hot / burning inside and my head often gets hot. I also get a crushing sensation in my chest and a feeling that I am going to pass out. I am being treated for GERD. I am not sure if this is stress or something more serious ?? Have your symptoms improved ??

I too get the same feeling, I am not sure if it stress

ITs GERD

Honestly it sounds like you an inner ear infection or a Eustachian tube infection.
The burning sensation could be inflammation due to localized fever.
(possibly)
I also have terrible burning pains deep in my ears and sore neck.

In 2000 i started experiencing these symptoms.
Fullness in ears.
Pressure and burning pain deep in ears (Center of my head)
Nausea.
Burning headaches (Burning sensation under scalp in addition to internal pain).
Hearing impaired.
Sudden unexpected noises very painfully loud.
Chills.
Daily Quick fevers.
Hair sensitive to the touch.
Facial sunburn sensation.
Aching shoulders and neck
Dizziness
Skin overly sensitive to hot and cold.
Panic attacks, (unable to handle anything stressful or watch exciting TV)
Weakness (as though fighting an infection)
Cloudy thinking
SEVERE TINNITUS (ringing in the ears)

Tests Done in 2001:
Numerous Blood work
CT scan
MRI
Spinal Tap
Al tests came back normal
Thousands of dollars in debt, no answers.
It took two to three years to recover and i was still not 100%

NOW, starting in November 2008,
I started having the same symptoms BUT WORSE.
It is VERY DIBILITATING.
Two rounds of Antibiotics to no avail.
Doctor only said it looked like i had an ear infection.
After giving this CAREFUL thought, meditation and research I have come to the conclusion that , it indeed started as an ear infection. (OTITIS MEDIA )

However, i believe, that the infection has moved to the bones around the Cochlea.
This would explain the neurological symptoms in the face and head And the Tinnitus,, due to inflammation of the tissues and nearby nerves>(Possibly)
Also, it would explain why the infection stays around so long and the localized fever in the Ears and Neck.
I have always had severe allergies and chronic post nasal drip. This i believe is adding to the Nausea.

Additional New Symptoms:
In addition to worse Symptoms than before, two new symptoms are, Sinus infection with constant green phlegm draining down throat and extremely Foul smelling and yellow Feces.

Have you ever had an MRI done on your neck? I have had chronic symptoms such as: tinnitus, constant pressure in my head, sore neck and back of head, throbbing headaches, a hot feeling sometimes between the right side of my neck and head, tenderness below and behind both ears, a vibrating/rapid-fire sound in ears sometimes, fatigue, pounding and/or racing heart with shortness of breath. I has been misdiagnosed several times, but believe I am finally onto something. I have multiple herniations in my neck with bone spur complexes and cord compression. The neurologist says that my symptoms can all be attributed to the neck issues and blockage of cerebrospinal fluid around my spinal cord. I have said for a long time that I feel better or worse sometimes just depending on the way I move my head. I am starting the process of getting approval from my insurance company for artificial disc replacement of two discs.

I was given many different diagnoses over the past 14 years because the symptoms are so varied and each specialist tends to only look for things in their area of expertise. I tried anxiety medications, allergy and asthma medications and shots, medication for P.O.T.S., and many other things. Good luck in finding an answer!
