Good morning. I have serious hearing loss in my left ear-diagnosed by my medical doctor and by ENT, Audiologist. A lump (about the size of 50 cent piece) on my head below my ear (glands have been ruled out). Thickness on the left side of my neck from the nodule to the vocal chords. All of this appeared after an extremely strange headache that just exploded in the back of my head one night about three weeks ago, or that was when I noticed it, then I was punch drunk and couldn't stand for about 5 minutes (they don't think it was a stroke). Followed by a stiff neck (which is when I found the nodule), but may be entirely unrelated. Both my father and my sister have had AN and have had them surgically removed. My MRI is scheduled for next week. Dr. prescribed taking Lipoflavin supplement for Tinnitus in my left ear. Wondering if these stabbing pains on the left side of my head could be related. I also am experiencing a bit of vertigo (although I thought my wobbling was just me-never been very graceful), and almost a flushing feeling intermittently throughout my days both in the front and on the back of my head. I am feeling very anxious about this situation, because although neither my MD or ENT could find any reason for the hearing loss, they seem to want to brush it off.
Thanks in advance
