![]() ![]() ![]() On father’s day, June 16th 2019, the headaches were so bad that I finally went into the ER. After a couple of weeks, I went to my GP. In early April of 2019, I started getting severe headaches. Is what I am doing ok or should I lay flat at night and sit up straight during the day? This is a wonderful group and you are all in my thoughts! Thanks for this group! I am confused about sitting and lying down positions. I am a huge coffee drinker too! I sleep and lay on the couch with 4 pillows, doesn’t seem to help much. Fluid deep down in both ears, mild headache when sitting up after sleeping, fullness, blockage feeling and hearing slightly affected. My symptoms have been fairly mild, thank goodness. ENT said no MRI or CT until at least May, plus we’ll self quarantine until May 4, two weeks since ENT. We live in The Villages, a retirement community in central Florida. Suited up for that visit with poncho, mask, face shield gloves and hat! Using separate bedroom, bath, dishes, etc, from hubby. Went to an ENT Monday who saw nothing with scope. for COVID and getting everything delivered, self quarantined for 3 1/2 weeks. Did another round of Azithromycin snd ear drops, no improvement. The doc saw some fluid and prescribed augmenten and steroid ear drops, which cleared up the visible fluid, but I could still feel fluid and what feels like a blockage. Good morning! Two months ago I started feeling fluid moving around in both inner ears. If you think you have an emergency, please call your doctor or emergency services immediately.
