What Causes Heaviness In Head And Chest Infection?

Hi doctor, I am feeling heaviness in my head and eyes for past 2 weeeks. Last week, I had viral and doctor advised because of ear and chest infection heaviness was there, so they suggested Amoxyday before the heaviness became so much that I suddenly collapsed. I had no cough or congestion or fever at that time.Sugar test, urine and ecg are all fine. Bp is also normal. I have given blood samples for some more test.please advice.

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you should consult ENT doctor and rule out worsening of ear infection.
Because untreated ear infection can cause spread of infection in inner ear and brain.
And in the initial time of brain infection , headache is the only symptom.
You also had collapse after headache, this also favours possibility of spreading brain Infection.
So better to consult ENT doctor and discuss all these and start appropriate treatment. Don't worry, you will be alright.
I find this answer helpful
