Ringing in ears, extreme constant headache, ear pain. MRI, CT Clear. Antibiotics not helping.

Question

For over 3 months, I've had constant ringing in my ears; saw a doctor and was given allergy meds to clear up fluid & slight inflammation.

Next day, extreme and constant headaches & ear pain began with no relief yet (it's been 5 weeks).

Gone off allergy meds, been on antibiotics, been to the ER, had ears checked and re-checked, flushed, a CT Scan (clear), MRI (clear), a Pregnancy Test (negative), no pain meds help.

So far all docs say it's simply an "atypical migraine".

Help!

I had the same problem for years. Vertigo, brain fog, eye, ear ringing and head pain, A lot of time and money spent on allergy meds, ENT, eye doctor, MRI, antibio's, ER trips. Eventually narrowed it down to one simple issue - posture. I sit at a computer for over 8 hours/day. Back slumped and neck hanging over my chest. This forces your neck yo use every muscle in the exact opposite manner in which they are intended to be used. Flexors become stabilizes and vice versa. Plus you start to shallow breath which adds to the problem. * Look up Cervicogenic headaches, podcasts also. I've been using a tens unit (not on your neck, follow instructions) and neck massages. Got one of those NAIPO massage pillows from Amazon. Simple neck exercises to strengthen the muscles. Sometimes the easiest solution is the simplest. I hope this helps.
