What Causes A Pulling Sensation From The Left Ear To The Shoulder?

I have developed over the past few months a sort of pulling sensation from the area of my left ear down to the top of my left shoulder. This sensation is accompanied by a tingling sensation. This occurs 5 to 6 times a day and does affect me in any other way (no vision problems, etc.) and is totally absent at other times. It also occurs when I put my left arm in some positions. I am on hypertension meds and that is under control. I am 5,10 & 190# & age 80. Thank you. Ted (email: YYYY@YYYY )

Hello,

The pulled sensation you are feeling on your left ear down to shoulder could be due to:
• Bad positioning of the left arm
• Electrolytes imbalance. You are on hypertension medicines possibly diuretic might be one of them the use of which is associated with loss of fluids and electrolytes

I advise you to:
• About bad positioning of the arm
• Check your blood electrolytes
• Run x-ray of the shoulder joint and cervical spine
• Apply heating pad locally
• Massaging with essential oils can help

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