Nausea, Dizziness , Shakiness, Difficulty Writing, Occasional Blurred Eyes, And Fatigue, Lung Cancer Symptoms ?
Hello, I am having these symptoms: Nausea, Dizziness , Shakiness, Difficulty Writing, Occasional Blurred Eyes, and Fatigue . I know I have an ear infection and have been taking antibiotics for 3 days. Last year I had surgery and chemo for lung cancer . My prognosis is great. So, I was wondering if these symptoms might indicate any other condition. Thank You.

Dear Dancerjane,
You are a known case of lung cancer for which you have undergone surgery and chemotherapy. Your present complaints could be due to metastasis in the brain which is a very common feature in lung cancer particularly small cell variety.
You need an urgent MRI of brain to rule out metastatic deposits. You can think of air infection latter if brain metastasis is ruled out. Ear infection will not cause the present symptoms you are describing.
