Can't figure out if it's the ears or teeth causing problems
For over a month now, I just can't seem to figure out what is happening to me like I went to a community clinic then urgent care then ent then dentist and even oral surgeon. But at last the ent and oral surgeon keep telling me go here and there. I been experiencing left side dizziness and unsteady balance and brain fog sythoms. My jaw feels tight and for some time I've been sticking to eating soft foods and mostly chewing on right side because for some reason I keep feeling dizzy while chewing on left side. And moving jaw side to side feels a bit tight especially on left side. At night when I try to sleep I get this muscle spasm or something when I try to sleep on left side so even turning the neck towards left causes a bit of dizziness and feels sorta tight or stiff in the neck and shoulder on left side. When I went to the ent they said I had an ear infection and the eusthsnic tube is clogged so I was given steroids and antibiotics but I don't know why I feel like something in my left ear feels squishy or clogged. Whenever I bend down I feel this. And when I move the jaw or eat something or sometimes yawn I will hear crackling in the ear. Went to oral surgeon consultation they ended up saying remove all your wisdom teeth which are 4 in total. But I don't have like physical pain in the teeth. Based on X-ray it shows lower teeth are close to the nerve and upper teeth are close to the sinus. I've been feeling tightness on my left side face like the temple area then where the eyebrows are and even the left side head as if it's jammed. It's hard to focus and concentrate. Even my eyes feel strained sometimes. I have no clue what to do.
