Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 42 female 5'4" I weigh about 195lbs. I have a history of chronic bronchitis. I quit smoking about 7 yrs ago. I have a family history of Stoke, Cardiac arrest, Heart disease and Diabetes although I don not have any signs of these dieases myself. I have noticed a couple of small varicose veins located behind my Left ear. Ever since I have seen them I have been experiencing superficial pain in the head surrounding the ear. I have also had an increase in dandruff. Should this be cause for alarm?
