Is Ear And Jaw Pain After Using Headphone Symptom Of Cancer?
Hi Sir,
I have some query about cancer. I have heard about some symptoms through which we can detect cancer in its early stage. From the last 2 to 3 months, I am suffering from some of the symptoms which directs towards cancer. Whenever I plug-in any head phone or ear phone to listen to music or something else, after about half to one hour, I feel pain around my ear and sometimes at the end of my jaw or in the head. I also realize about the decrease in my instant memory in the last few months. I also feel breathlessness sometimes. Please suggest me, if I need any test to diagnose this. Are these symptoms directs towards cancer? And if I need any test, do I need to take the test quickly or in a few days?

No these symptoms are not diagnostic of cancer. You have pain only on wearing headphones. So you can try not using head phones and seeing if the pain persists.
