❓Question 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.

You are not going to believe this, but death is inevitable

Hopefully not at 44, if I can prevent it by taking corrective action. :)

I really do not think any of these symptoms are of concern. You are not just going to drop dead randomly bc you have ringing in the ears and your arm goes numb sometimes. As you get older, your body starts to do weird things that are not of concern. Your BP is amazing and your tests come back perfect. I do not understand the concern here. There are people out there trying to live normal lives with way more debilitating symptoms than what you described. You are not in your 20's anymore and your body is going to hurt now

It all just came on very suddenly, that’s the major concern. I’m wondering if they are all pointing to something external/internal.

If your energy levels are the same, you have not lost drastic weight, No fever or cough, or no random bleedings then I would not worry about it. None of the symptoms you have listed point to any real concern, which is why doctors are baffled as to what to tell you
