i have the exact same symptoms. they come and go in intensity but i am getting it very often these days. i think it is because our nerves are irritated from being damaged. my theory is that it is herpes as that virus lives in nerve cluster behind the ear. and the herpes zooster and many viruses reside in nerves and herpes kills nerve cells causing them to become irritated leading to a burning sensation. this is why so many people have this problem but have no clue what is the reason most people have no idea they have herpes. it is most likely to be triggered by a number of reasons. but being fit keeping your immune system healthy and eating foods that don't trigger the virus should greatly help possibly keep it completely at bay.
i have a burning sensation in my face neck and ears that comes and goes. what could be causing this? . just curious to what could be going on. i suspect high bloodpressure but am not able to see my doctor until april 4 due to her being booked up until then. i am really worried that it could be something very serious. please help?
