Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Difficulty To Focus, Twitching, Weight Gain. Normal Thyroid Levels. What Could Be Wrong?
The ringing in my ears has become very loud. I find myself confused or lathargic. My eyes have trouble focusing and developes a twitch. I have recently started gaining a lot of weight for no real reason. I am exhausted most of the time but sleep is full of nightmarish dreams. my doctore has tested my thyroid a few times but always comes back with no problems. I am a fairly healthy woman in early 50 s and due to these symptoms have found myself unable to get up energy to do much of anything but I do them because I have to.
Thank you for your query.
Your eye and ear symptoms are those of Vestibulitis (inflammation of the balance apparatus of the middle-ear). Tha causation of which is not fully understood. Some research points to a viral infection of the eighth cranial nerve. This can not explain your weight gain, one possibility is that you have an abnormal sugar metabolism . The best person to examine your Vestibulitis would be an ENT, I feel that a physician should also give you a thorough metabolic screen, including your sugar. I trust this information helps you find an answer. Kind regards.
