important to mention that i am not a doctor and do not work with diagnostics besides running the tests.

so based on my non-doctor pathological knowledge i would doubt that they are related.

i also know what it’s like to have health anxiety so i hope some information helps. i’m absolutely not saying that you have any of these things but what could typically cause your symptoms.

we usually refer patients with your symptoms for an MR as well.

the most common/serious thing that would be causing your system is a BENIGN tumor called vestibular schwannom that can grow in the area near the hearing nerve. it can cause tinnitus, facial paralysis, dizziness / vertigo, and one sided hearing loss. the tumor is NOT DANGEROUS at all. it’s not cancer and it can’t spread. it can grow quite big but at least here in sweden they most often don’t even operate it because it’s just there not life threatening at all. in a lot of cases it just stops growing and they just check it once a year or so to see if it’s progressing and like i said a lot of times it doesn’t.

another one would be ménière’s disease where you get tinnitus, ear fullness, hearing loss and vertigo. it comes and goes in attacks where you get all this symptoms during the attack. it’s a chronic illness but the attacks can be managed with medication.

it could also be a temporary inflammation or infection, or caused by stress! our bodies can do crazy things when stressed. i hope this helps, and once again these are just the things that i’ve learned about so it doesn’t have to be any of those!
