[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 381651, member: 4264"] Have never heard or read of it being related to heart issues, I'm going to ask my ENT next appointment because I'm the curious type. Will try to remember to post here what she says. I have ear problems and do get inner and outer ear infections, severe ones. But also I have had no sign of infection or inflamation that frustrated me due to ongoing intermittent ear pain for a long time, which eventually did spread into a ear infection. It turns out to be the partoid gland that was inflammed and infected. Eventually my body didn't knock down the infection (which was happening thus the pain coming and going) and the infection would go into the ears but also through all my facial nerves. I was in CCU twice simply because I/we had no idea so had no way to know to check the partoid gland in time to squash the infection before it went wildfire and spread rapidly (usually within hours). The good thing is if it is the partoid gland they can do things. If the pain spreads or becomes constant, get to a walk in or something and have ears checked again and maybe ask them to check the glands too. If anyone had checked my partoid gland by simple touch alone a doctor would have known it was a problem and antibiotics and a dose of steroids would have fixed things up. There are some other good ideas too. Its such a complicated region since so many little things can cause discomfort like this. Does it hurt more when in the wind or after showering or if you lay on that side too long while sleeping (thus putting pressure on it etc)??? [/QUOTE]
