Question : yesterday when i cracked my neck and back (like i do daily) i started getting very bad ringing/muffled sounds from my ear. This lasted all day and went on to today about half the day. I had a slight headache, but nothing serious. I have been extremely low on energy and cant get out of bed due to lack of energy. I have also been waking up with night sweats every night for about 2 weeks now and this randomly just came about out of nowhere! I do have a slight sore throat and sinus congestion as well.
Not sure if this is related, but i got a tooth close to my molars (root canal) done last year. They did a bad job and the cap and filling fell out.. I called and they said it would cost me 700$ to get it repaired! I couldnt pay this and the pain was horrible, so i pulled the tooth out myself. I think i left some tooth behind, but overall it doesnt bother me anymore. Sometimes i get pain in the area, but its only for a day or two. Could something be happening with this maybe?

Brief Answer:
No relation with tooth issues.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

There seems to be no relation to your symptoms with tooth issues.

A sore throat and congestion may indicate a viral infection that may cause such symptoms.

It is possible also a temporary blood flow impairment to the brain after the sudden neck movement, and this is not a serious issue, you should feel better in a couple of days.

Anyway, get evaluated by your GP about a sore throat and congestion.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
