I've been feeling some pressure on the left side of my throat lately, and it's kind of hard to breathe at times, which makes me want to cough. There's this strange feeling on the left side of my chest too sometimes. I can still take deep breaths without any issues, but my pulse can be a bit high, like around 100 beats a minute. Generally, my health is fine, and the only medication I'm on is birth control pills. Should I be concerned about this? I'm traveling abroad right now and will be for the next two weeks, so I'm wondering if I need to do something about it or can wait until I'm back home.

I've had surgery on my ear because there was this small hole, and before that, my ear kept getting wet. It's been 15 days since the surgery, and everything seemed fine, even though I had this heartbeat sound in my ear for the first 45 days. After 8 days, they took the dressing off, and it all seemed normal. But now, on the 14th day post-surgery, there's this non-stop vibrating noise in my ear. Does this mean my surgery didnt work as it should have? It was okay for over two months, and now this. What could be going on?

After surgery such as tympanoplasty it is common to have symptoms such as your for atleast three weeks. It is not really abnormal. Complete recovery and healing may take upto three months. Unless pus starts coming out of your ears, you need not worry much
