Question 2

what causes clogged ears ? and popin them all the time ? bedside tmj

The most common: Cause of clogged ears is ear wax. The accumulation can be considerable over time. Consult with your PCP or an otolaryngologist to have your ears checked.  A quick exam can confirm or rule out a wax issue. Good luck.

Question 5

i've this jaw/ear pressure that makes me think tmj but also bad neck throbbing and pots-like issues (go blind standing up). all related? arteritis?

Accepted Answer

Can't  say for sure: Coudl be TMJ.  I have  no data to indicate  arteritis. I agree more than one process can be active. The complexity here indcates your  best  benefit is to discuss this with your physician.

i have pressure, tightness, in my jaw going up on one side of my face into my ear. ear pressure, muffled hearing. no headaches. i have tmj, my joint protrudes out when i open my mouth, and severe clicking with a little pain. could it be tmj issues?

Wish you good health!

Question 7

after clearing my ears with debrox, my ears are still feeling partially clogged. i visited my physician and ent and they said it was not wax nor fluid, and my eardrums looked fine. its not tmj, either. clogged feeling is getting worse. what is it?

Accepted Answer

: Don't go poking things in your ears. The ear is complicated and has three chambers if you will and th problem could be in any of them, the outer, middle or inner ear.  I strongly suggest visiting your doctor again. Let them accept the challenge of solving the problem.

Question 8

sore,swollen area b/t front of left ear & tmj. ear somewhat swollen inside,clogged. dr prescribed stronger allergy meds if swelling isnt down by weds. he said not worried abt swelling if lymph node, as small, moveable, squishy. when will it go away?

Accepted Answer

: If you have reactive lymph nodes, the problem is not from allergy but likely due to a viral illness. Most viral infections will resolve after 5-7 days unless you have bacterial super-infection.
I do not understand why your doctor stated that he will prescribe stronger allergic medications if you do not improve by Wednesday.

Question 9

what cause clogged ears, chest pain, tension headaches, neck and jaw pain everyday? i was recently diagnosed with tmj and been having headaches and chest pains for two years constantly?

Accepted Answer

: Too many symptoms for one doctor. The TMJ can be treated by the dentist. The clogged ears by an ENT specialist and the chest pains by a an internist. Your chest pains are not from your heart, but a strain or indigestion, stress and or anxiety. All your symptoms are overlapping and possibly related. It's two years now, don't complain and see a medical specialist.

Question 10

the area in front of my left ear is tender and swollen. my ear feels a little clogged too. it feels tender when i open and close my jaw. seems right on tmj joint. should i see a doctor? is this my lymph node or something else?

Accepted Answer

: You need to see a physician, No sensible physician would give you any advice without examining you.
