I saw my GP about a month ago, as have been getting tinnitus in my left ear, headache behind that ear and feeling dizzy. She immediately referred me to ENT, as said unilateral tinnitus is not normal and should always be investigated. Unfortunately I've had a letter from ENT saying they will be back in touch when they can offer me an appointment, so I know the wait is very long. I've made an appointment to see a consultant privately. My GP said I need a scan, but need ENT to decide exactly what scan. I'm also having problems with high BP and pulse which is proving resistant to medications.
Since making the private appointment I have now found a large lump in my left breast, so have an urgent appointment at the breast clinic next week. So am obviously panicking now that the head symptoms are related to this lump.
The GP started me on a medication for Ménière's disease about 2 weeks ago, in the go hope it would help with the dizziness, but it's not helped at all. I feel like I am drunk every day, it's awful. My private appt is still 2 weeks away, but I think if I start to feel any worse I may need to go to A+E.
I'd already convinced myself I've got a brain tumour, without finding a breast lump ️
