To answer some of the general items:

​

• 37 year old male.
• Obese (6'4" / 360 lbs), though dropped 40 lbs in the last year and working on it the right way.
• Meds are Uloric for gout, Lisinopril for blood pressure, and then just magnesium and B-vitamins for supplements. Tried CBD oil occasionally, but not often. The Uloric I've been on for 10 or so years, Lisinopril for maybe 5 . Supplements started maybe 4-6 months ago.
• I did have anxiety and tried Buspar and Citalopram for a very, very short period of time in late October and early November (maybe 2-3 weeks max). I didn't like the way they made me feel I thought, so I discontinued them. In hindsight I don't know if it was related to the drugs or this unknown issue. Could have been both, who knows.

​

• I've been having these issues nearly daily for maybe 2 months straight, and somewhat before that possibly.
• Generally first thing in the morning I have zero, or very minimal symptoms. I wake up and generally feel OK. Come 1-3 hours later, it all starts.
• Generally I have a dull headache. Not stabbing or throbbing. But almost as if my head were a balloon and someone had just started to expand it a little bit while blowing it up.
• I have a relatively constant eye pain behind my right eye. Some days it is relatively bad and "painful" to the touch. Other days I barely notice it, if at all. Many mornings I will wake up with a yellow pus coming from it. Almost like sleep, but much more of it.
• I have neck pain. Generally kind of either base of the neck or to the right side below my ear.
• I have occasional facial tingling or burning. Sometimes my cheeks will get flushed.
• Lately I've had mild nausea. Never close to throwing up though.
• My right ear sometimes feels like it has some minor pressure. Not like truly clogged or anything, but some pressure.
• I often have "unsteadiness" or lightheadedness that hits me during the day. Will relax slightly at night, then again, gone first thing in the morning until it fires up again.
• Any head pain is generally on the right side of my head. Towards right temple, or on bad days upper right above temple/ear.
• Sometimes at the end of longer walks (1-2 miles) I'll be more lightheaded than other times. Though I don't know if they are related.
• Sometimes certain sounds will "zap" me.
• Sometimes the unsteadiness feels like my eyes want to roll back in my head, like I'm tipping over in a chair.

​

• I have seen my GP, who originally tried an antibiotic and steroids, thinking maybe sinuses were the cause.
• I then went to the ENT who did a CT of my sinuses, which came back clear.
• He did note a negative retraction in my eardrum, but hearing was largely fine, no sign of other related issues.
• Supposed to get a referral to the neurologist hopefully.
• Also scheduled for some balance tests in a few weeks.
• Eye doctor appointment tomorrow.

​

Honestly this has been kind of depressing for me. I'm working through the process, seeing doctors and whatnot, so trust me, Reddit is not my substitute for a doctor at all. But I'm so frustrated and down at the moment that I'm just trying anything I can to be quite honest.

​

Thanks.
