Hi, I have a swollen right temple, pressure also. I have often a sore lower jaw and weak jaw on the right side. I do clench my teeth while sleeping though I also have intermittant blurry eyes. My right eyelid has over the past 4 years sagged. In regard to the right side, it feels my ear is blocked intermittantly. I had last week extreme joint pain in my index fingers, wrists and shoulder joints. The index finger is still sore and stuff on right hand. I awake most mornings with tingling fingers and toes. I drink 4 standard drinks per night. Could this be the cause? Thank you.
Hello! I read carefully your question and understand your concern. In my opinion THT symptoms you have in the hands may be a chronic polyneuropathy which is a common feature in chronic alcohol intake. The symptoms in your head may be a sign of multiple cranial nerve damage, also called multiple cranial nerve neuropathy, which is not symmetric. I would recommend you to consult with a neurologist, have a good neurological examination, a full blood work and an electroneurography for polyneuropathy. In the meantime I would recommend treatment with Thiamine (a vitamin), which is very helpful in your condition. Hope to have been of help! Best wishes!
