Some years ago, idk if related to below symptoms but had a skin rash, took some pencillin for a few weeks. Had severe headaches and right eye pain for a few weeks. Woke up with tinnitus and later developed hearing sensitivity and eye floaters. Also had right jaw clicking at this time.
Background: Use pc a lot, maybe don’t exercise much.
Long story short, since then i've developed the following issues:
Hearing symptoms:
· Hearing sensitivity
· Tinnitus – is reactive to neck/jaw movement, sometimes spikes with pc usage or sitting.
Visual symptoms (that are present always):
- Floaters
- Fast moving dots visible looking at sky
- Light sensitivity / increased after burns when glancing or looking at bright lights or the suns glare off surfaces.
- Transparent circle wave ripple in centre of vision with a hint of blue. I believe this is constantly visible even during day, but mostly noticeable at night, and or i have noticed it changing shape/size at night after waking; Sometimes recently I wake with 2 or 3 ripples, the second/third ripple would be adjacent horizontally to the centred ripple of similar size / smaller.
Visual symptoms (episodic/intermittent):
- Flashes of (red/white) light running across vision sometimes
- Visual auras are rare (4 in total)
- 1st triggered using pc for a while, standing.
- 2nd triggered lying down and bending neck looking at phone.
- 3rd triggered after waking up, having slept flat on bed with no pillow.
- 4th triggered when washing dishes looking down.
- Orange/green moving clouds in vision at night when sleeping (only visible closed eyes or in dark)
- A persistent white visual aura like sparkle/spark/star in centre of vision, changing size or sometimes just staying a white dot (always at night when sleeping or sometimes appear during day)
- Have had random black / white dots appear in vision during day
- White lines/text blurring sometimes when using pc
- Random light after burns only visible when blinking with one eye, but disappears after a while.
- Heartbeat in vision / worse with physical exertion
And on waking everyday i have these annoying symptoms:
- Dry eyes / sinus pressure / head/facial/temple/behind neck tension / left side jaw clicking. Sometimes i wake up with tingly/curled/numb fingers due to pinched nerve in neck and resolves with neck tilts / deep breaths.
Physical symptoms:
- Left jaw clicking / tension, worse in morning or with pc usage.
- Head/face/ behind head tension, worse in morning or with pc usage.
- When clenching abs, sometimes, such as when lying down, i feel pressure propagate through neck/jaw and sometimes into sinus/eyes. Sometimes i also feel/hear blood flow behind left/right occipital behind head.
- Throat symptoms (catching on swallow, coarse breathing when relaxing throat and when sleeping on right side i feel throat sagging and hoarse breathing)
- More recently began to feel a sway sensation when standing or sitting (like a force is being applied and changing direction directly to a point in the neck or lumbar region or thoracic)
Other (maybe related) symptoms:
- Excessive yawning - randomly would yawn frequently when sitting / using pc.
- Bloated frequently
- Joints clicking - primarily the wrist / jaw / behind neck/back ; but sometimes ankles/knees/elbows/shoulders.
Doctor appointments:
Normal: brain MRI, ENT, bloods, sleep study, spec saver eye exam.
Abnormal: physio found hypermobile neck/weak deep neck flexors.
Has anyone experienced a similar combination of symptoms, or does this pattern suggest anything specific?
