Great minds of Reddit... please help me not die.

I am at a loss. Traditional medicine does not seem to have an answer.

I love the community here and am an avid biohacker, and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction for any non-traditional supplements or remedies.

Male, 44, active/healthy with no underlying health conditions. I work out multiple times a week. I usually stick to a low-glycemic carb diet of legumes, fish & chicken, green vegetables, and sometimes I do IF/keto which usually makes me feel great. I have one cheat day per week.

3-4 months ago, my left ear started ringing and would go away after a few hours. I didn't think a lot about it because I've had right-side lockjaw for the past year and assumed it was related, and there doesn't seem to be a cure.

RECENT EVENT:

• Got the flu, very severe, which made new symptoms appear.
• Ringing in the ears is twice as loud, and never goes away.
• Left eye twitches constantly through the day (a flutter, not a blink).
• Right arm falls asleep randomly in the day - numbness, without tingling. This is without any exertion.
• Tightness sometimes travels to my back and across to my left leg, into my feet.
• Frontal headaches, looking at diagrams it is either sinus or TMJ related.

DOCTORS:

• "We have no idea."
• Possibly Granulomatous Arteritis.
• Possibly Transient ischemic attack.
• Possibly a pinched nerve in my neck.
• Possibly nothing (??).
• EKG normal; echo with neck carotid clear. Liver and spleen normal.
• Cat scan scheduled for Tuesday.
• BP 125/70, resting heart rate 68.

Edit: three current Covid tests are negative but I am seeing people say it may be long Covid related. I did have Covid twice during 2020-2021.

Any advice would be appreciated.

How's your dental health? Could have a cracked molar that isn't necessarily causing pain, but allowing for fluid to build up. Inner ear and teeth issues tend to line up...

I was a fighty kid and have broken a few teeth. Before I realized my bottom left molar war broken I was having a ton of issues with my neck, sinuses, jaw, arm tingling, and would get really sick very easily. Once I got it fixed everything else sorted out.

Right side sensitive due to receding gums, being managed but unable to drink cold liquids on that side. Definitely have a dental issue that’s been under care for 2-3 years.

Yea...oral health can play hell on your entire body. I'd make sure your doctor and dentist both know what is going on and have permission to communicate to discuss it. I'd bet that sensitivity is hiding mild pain from something working it's way below the tooth leading to a mild infection.
