Severe Pain In The Ear After Prolonged Working Hours In Front Of Computer. On Weight Loss Regime. Need Help
I am a 30 year old female, 5 11 and about 212 pounds. (I am in the process of losing some weight...started walking about 4 weeks ago...1 to 2 miles every morning and have lost 10 pounds so far). My job requires me to work at a computer therefore I am staring at the screen for several hours a day. About 1 hour into work, my ears begin to hurt. They feel blocked up and there is a throbbing pain in both my ears but it is worse on the right side. I did not know that computers could cause ear pain. I take breaks during the day but this does not seem to help. On weekends when I do not stare at a computer I do not have this ear pain. I don t know what to do and it is getting almost unbearable. Chewing gum doesn t help, tylenol doesn t help...I am at a loss
Hi madam, in my opinion you might be having some amount cervical neuralgia, where in prolonged working in front of computer will cause cervical nervres compression causing referred pain to ear. If I were your treating doctor I would prescribed carbamazepine tablet for 2 weeks along with tramadol pain killer tablet. This would reduce your neuralgic pain. Along with this I would suggest neck exercises also to be done every 4 hours.
