  • Hi Maz, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I am so sorry you have experienced all these symptoms recently as well as suffering from mental health problems at the moment. I am glad you've seen the ENT doctor and it seems that you are in good hands and that they are doing all the necessary tests. Waiting can be so stressful and it can all take a toll on our mental wellbeing so don't hesitate to mention how you are feeling to your doctor and the anxiety that this wait for results is causing you. 

    It won't be long now before you get some answers and we are keeping everything crossed for you. 

    Best wishes,
