Question 1

is there such thing as 'ear stroke' ?

Accepted Answer

Guess yes: Ther is a real possibility that a stroke might affect the hearing and not other areas in the body. Or that other affected areas are not that obvious.

Question 2

stroke-swishing sound in ears-would surgery be an answer  for a stroke victim of 2 years!?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: There is no surgery which can correct the effects of a prior stroke.

Question 3

my aunt has recently been fitted with a pacemaker is it still possible she can do certain strokes in the pool and also is there a high risk with using her mobile either holding it on by the ear?

Accepted Answer

: pacemaker does not hamper any daily activity, even sports, if just depends on the persons strength and endurance. Cell phone would not affect it either.

Question 4

shooting pain behind left ear stroke, what is this a sign of?

Accepted Answer

Not a stroke: Could be due to mastoiditis, ear infection, jaw or dental issues, or even greater occipital neuralgia.

Question 5

no history of stroke.age 28.i am having a tension on right sideof face. i feel it in my ear too.it's not numb, i can feel touch/pain.tia?stress?anxty?

Accepted Answer

Trigeminal neuralgia: or Bell's Palsy are as few of several possibilities.  It's important for you to see your doc.  Peace and good health.

Question 6

could my mom  have had a mini stroke if she suddenly lost her hearing in one ear?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes. More importantly, it could have been more serious or less serious such as a wax blockage. She should see her pcp immediately for sudden hearing loss.

Question 7

i have dis pain upper part of neck or lower part head at the back.parallel to my ear middle.cause?is it heart attack or stroke or anything fatal?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: An early thirties female with post-auricular pain likely has occipital neuritis or tendinitis of superior trapezius at occiput, especially with pain to palpation or with range of motion of neck. If there are not these findings and if pain is constant then see a doctor.  Concerns increase if there is dizziness or use of cigarettes and taking of birth control pills, a bad combination.  See a doctor.

Question 8

i just had ear tubes removed two days ago. i have a messy history including things like cancer and stroke. my head hurts so bad. i just want help?

Accepted Answer

Come again?: Sorry, but when a physician reads your post, (s)he sees 4 unrelated statements. There's no apparent connection among the ear tubes, the cancer &amp; stroke, your headaches, &amp; your just wanting help. It reads like you have a complicated story that your post fails to convey: the kind of story that needs to be told to a live doctor in an office. Good luck.

Question 9

i have tinnitus in both ears but i have pulsitlle tinnitus also in my right ear but only when i wake up for the pulsitlle. am i going to have a stroke?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: That swoosh may be a sign you have significant narrowing of the carotid artery on that side. You probably need a carotid doppler (painless ultrasound test) to see what's going on. Meanwhile, go take an aspirin. Take one every day until you see what's causing the swoosh. Then keep on taking one anyway. I like aspirin.

Question 10

what do you suggest if my left ear is always ringing and my left eye is a bit in a hypertropia condition. is this a stroke?

Accepted Answer

No: Those are not stroke symptoms. You need an ophthalmic and  ear exam to look for treatable causes of your 2 different conditions.
