Question 1

does mastoiditis cause chronic headaches?

Accepted Answer

No: Mastoiditis causes pain behind or around the ear and is usually associated with redness and swelling behind the ear as well as a history of ear disease.  Acute or even chronic mastoiditis rarely is the cause of a generalized headache.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Bone spurs or a bulging disk in the neck can impinge nerve root or nerves causing pain radiating to the back of the skull. Motions of your neck or certain head positions can precipitate symptoms. Your physician or a neurologist can evaluate and advise you. Appropriate tests can be ordered depending upon the evaluation.

Question 10

can a chronic anxious state that lasts several months lead you into physical pain that has no apparent medical cause?  like chronic headaches etc.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can: Anxiety takes a toll on our bodies. Holding in anxiety effects our bodies like steam in a pressure cooker without a safety valve would have on the pot. Sooner or later, the pressure cooker would explode. By talking about stressors and finding solutions, Psychotherapy helps develop a safety valve and protects our bodies from the stress.
