See A Dr. ASAP: Your should make an appointment with your personal physician immediately. It is difficult to make a diagnosis simply from what you are asking. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment asap.

Yes, possibly: That's a long time to be ignoring symptoms. Suggest that you start your diagnostic investigation with an Otolaryngologist, an ENT specialist.
