I've been having these sharp pains right behind my ear that come and go pretty quickly. It's like there's also this weird pressure that builds up behind my head and sometimes makes me feel dizzy. Should I be worried about this? Is this something you've seen before, and what might be causing it?

The sharp pain behind your ear, accompanied by pressure behind the head and dizziness, could be related to various factors, including temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, ear infections, eustachian tube dysfunction, or tension headaches; to alleviate symptoms, try applying warm compresses, practicing relaxation techniques, and maintaining good posture, and consider consulting a healthcare professional, such as an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist

I'm wondering about how NUROKIND LC actually helps in healing nerves. Also, if I take it for a long time, like about 2 years, could there be any side effects I should be worried about?
