Hello, my dear friend has chronic ear pain, the docs say it s simply a miss firing nerve but I ve noticed that she wakes up from the pain at very specific times. I ve traced the wake up times to brain function during sleep and noticed that she always wakes up late stage 3 or stage 4, I am asking if it s possible the hypothalamus s activity during delta wave activity *stage 4* could have connection to the pain and, is it possible that the pain is caused by the brain and not an inflamed nerve, the pain is located behind the left ear. She s in constant pain any help is appreciated
