How Can Pain And Pressure In The Head Leading To Hearing Loss Be Treated?

I had a LP on 7/18 had bad pain and pressure had a blood patch on 7/19. Currently I am feeling so much pressure in my head, like going up for a flight but 10X as worse and hearing loss from the pressure/fullness. There is really no head pain just mass pressure. And my face feels warm, no fever. IDK what to do?

Hello,

Raised intracranial pressure or meningitis or intracranial space-occupying lesions or middle ear infection or raised blood pressure may present like this.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please get it done MRI brain and lumbar fluid analysis.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
